Reclaiming the City in Korea

Se-Mi Oh, Francisco E Sanin

Who owns the city? Who produces the city? Who has the right to the city today? How do we practice the city? These questions frame the podcast mini-series from the University of Michigan Nam Center for Korean Studies. Thinking about various modes of spatial practices, this series will probe the contemporary conditions of the city in a country that has undergone exponential growth and is in constant metamorphosis. This series will also act as an introduction to our Perspectives on Contemporary Korea Conference taking place November 12-13, 2021 and features some of our conference presenters. read less
