Despite their seeming reluctance to engage in the politics of the now, historians have a crucial role to play as witnesses to climate change and its attendant social injustices. Climate change is a product of industrialization, but its effects are known in different geographical and temporal scales through the compilation and analysis of historical narratives. This essay explores modes of thinking about disasters and temporality, the Anthropocene, and the social production of risk – set against a case study of the Korean DMZ as a site for historical witnessing. Historical methods are crucial if we are to investigate deeply the social processes that have produced climate change. A “slow disaster in the Anthropocene” approach might show the way forward.

The Cold War

Abstract The topic of propaganda, which was thought to be a part of the Cold War past, was recently revived by modern and rather successful application in Georgian, Syrian and Ukrainian conflicts. In this regard Korean Peninsula is a perfect example of prolonged use of mutual practice of indoctrination to study its origins. This article discuses the evolution of propaganda use by both Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Republic of Korea (1945-1960) in cultural, economic and political dimensions. Qualitative text analysis and case study in conjunction with theoretical framework of A. E. Cassirer, S. Langer, E. Barneys and W. Lippmann are used to establish techniques used, and to explain its overall success.

Rethinking Hegemony and Neutralization in Korea: Multinational Diplomatic Engagements in the Run-Up to the Russo-Japanese War (1903–1904)

Multiple Actors

This article demonstrates that the Russo-Japanese rivalry, far from being just another example of imperialist competition during the Age of Imperialism, can also serve as a useful case study of a diplomatic contest over a periphery between hegemonic powers. During this diplomatic tug-of-war, the Korean peninsula became the focal point of a contest between Japan and Russia. The present study illuminates the interactive processes of major diplomatic engagements between multiple actors through careful use of multi-lingual archives, as well as locates the significant implications of these exchanges for contemporary geopolitical landscapes in the Far East. Ultimately, this research provides an analytical framework for a more in-depth understanding of diplomatic interactions and the impacts of hegemonic struggles in modern Korean history.

AbstractTyphoon Bolaven caused significant damage with severe rainfall all over South Korea, including Cheju Island, which received more than 250 mm in 2 days in August 2012. It was regarded as the most powerful storm to strike the Korean Peninsula in nearly a decade. The rainfall-rate datasets were obtained from S-band radar operated by the Korea Meteorological Administration to be analyzed and compared with the mesoscale Cloud Resolving Storm Simulator (CReSS) model simulation. Multifractal analysis was conducted to understand the structure of the rainfall rate with height in the typhoon system. The radar rainfall data presented with strong intermittency across scales at lower altitudes (1 and 2 km) and a more homogeneous rainfall field at high altitude (5 km) with two parameters (fractal codimension and multifractality index). The statistical scaling moment function and maximal singularities show clear significant differences between radar and the CReSS model.
