What are the areas of focus?

sanakamal1 — 2025-01-07 19:22:28 UTC

PROVING THAT THE MASTER NARRATIVE OF THE ETHNIC NATION IS FLAWED.

DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE CREATION OF A DECOLONIAL STATE POST LIBERATION KOREA AND ITS FOUNDATIONS ARE LARGELY ‘NON-DECOLONIAL’.

DOES NOT EMBRACE INCLUSIVITY / MULTICULTURALISM

A NARRATIVE THAT APES THE COLONIAL DOCTRINE OF INTOLERANCE

sanakamal1 — 2025-01-07 19:23:28 UTC

TEXTUAL - BASIC?

NARRATIVE - CONSIDERING PLOT, CHARACTER, ELEMENTS ETC

SEMIOTIC - MYTH & SYMBOLS IN THE ETHNIC NATION NARRATIVE SEEMS FEASIBLE

sanakamal1 — 2025-01-07 19:25:18 UTC

The depiction of a nation

Rooting it geographically and historically

Through characters and language

Binaries (Korea-America in Exhuma; Japan-Korea in Nine tailed 1938)

sanakamal1 — 2025-01-07 19:28:49 UTC

Portrays a specific kind of nation which is the minjok

Alludes to myths which substantiate the minjok

Presents folk traditions that the nation takes pride in

Presents a stark good-evil binary to depict an impermeable and noble nation

Implications of such a representation

Exceptions

sanakamal1 — 2025-01-07 19:30:52 UTC

How do we fit the minor exceptions into the 'this text is not decolonial' narrative?

It occupies a spectrum?
