[New Release] 'China's Nationalism' and Others

◆Chinese Nationalism= This section examines the true nature of Chinese nationalism and explores whether Western modernist theories apply to China. Nationalism is the sentiment of a nation's people toward their country. Understanding it accurately is essential for proactive responses. Rather than explaining academic concepts, the author lowers the entry barrier by listing interesting examples. For instance, referring to the box office hit "Wolf Warrior 2," the author describes the strong and retaliatory foreign policy known as "Wolf Warrior Diplomacy." "Wolf Warrior (戰狼) means 'wolf warrior.' Originally, wolves were animals associated with northern nomads, and in the agrarian society of China, they symbolized the barbarians despised by the Chinese. However, nowadays, the Chinese have adopted this symbol of the barbarians as their own emblem." (Written by Jo Youngjeong / Institute of Social Thought)

◆Seoul Review of Books Issue 0= With the belief that only attempts to find answers can create a better public knowledge forum, this publication offers a variety of book reviews. It poses creative questions to help readers gain a deeper understanding of the world. The special feature explores how humanity will change in the pandemic situation and what will remain unchanged. Experts from social sciences, humanities, economics, and natural sciences plant seeds of thought for a new world through unique perspectives. For example, science and technology scholar Hong Seongwook reviews books related to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) such as "We Live with Viruses," "What Masks Tell Us," "Corona Report," "Thinking About the Age of Contagion," and "Post-Corona Society," attempting a multilayered reflection on pandemic society. "The numbers in the pandemic era themselves represent quarantine and politics. Not only the government's quarantine measures but also the numbers we count and our daily lives are already quarantine and political practice."
