Abstract:

This article explored South Korean and Japanese newspaper reports on the “comfort women” who were forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army in the 1930s-1940s, to examine how print media have reproduced the reality of the issue. I conducted a quantitative frame analysis of the contents of news articles ( N = 384) on the comfort women in four South Korean and Japanese newspapers. The frames of comfort women articles in all papers can be considered to be very stereotyped, because they have changed little according to the newspaper’s political position (conservative/liberal), attitude (anti-Japan/anti–South Korea), and nationality (South Korean/Japanese). When the relationship of South Korea and Japan has been combative, conflict and morality frames have been abundant. In contrast, when the relationship has been favorable, human interest frames have been ample.

Abstract:

This paper studies feminist geopolitical practices in South Korea in the context of “comfort women” forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese military around the Second World War. Although there has been a considerable amount of literature penned on the comfort women issue, existing discussions focus largely on the conflict between nationalist and feminist paradigms, while largely minimizing feminist activism and changing gender narratives within Korean society. Therefore, this research aims to expand the field by considering the struggles that comfort women have endured through the lens of feminist geopolitical scholarship. I argue that comfort women activism constitutes a form of feminist geopolitical practice in a way that challenges masculine gender narratives. It has opened up new spaces where comfort women survivors can produce a sense of “survivorhood” and move beyond passivity throughout their lives. The rise of their active voices signals the overturning of traditional patriarchal structures; consequently, along with other forms of activism, these narratives have eventually led to a shift in public attitudes. Unlike how nationalist accounts were dominant in the early 1990s, the increased public attention towards the feminist accounts in the mid-2010s has subsequently increased media coverage of survivors and feminist practices.

Abstract:

<p>The issue of comfort women that has occured since 1932 continues to impact bilateral relations between Japan dan South Korea. Various efforts have been made by two countries to deal with this issue, one of which is the agreement in 2015 that stating the comfort women issue has been completed and this agreement cannot be canceled. Instead of solving the problem, this agreement marked as the beginning of a worsening relation between the two countries. Poor relations led to several implications which then became a new problem to Japan and South Korea relations. This research finds that the comfort women issue has given three implications for the relations between Japan and South Korea. First is the Japan-South Korea Trade War in 2019, second is the withdrawal of South Korea from General Security of Military Information Agreement (GSOMIA) and the last is the boycott of Japanese products conducted by South Korean society. The unresolved issue has affected the economy, national security and the social life of the people of both countries.</p><p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK:</strong> Permasalahan <em>comfort women</em> yang terjadi sejak tahun 1932 terus memberikan implikasi yang kuat kepada hubungan bilateral antara Jepang dan Korea Selatan.

Bukannya menyelesaikan masalah, perjanjian ini menjadi awal dari hubungan kedua negara yang semakin memburuk. Hubungan yang buruk kemudian menimbulkan beberapa implikasi yang menjadi masalah baru di dalam hubungan Jepang dengan Korea Selatan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan, ditemukan bahwa permasalahan comfort women memberikan tiga implikasi kepada hubungan Jepang dan Korea Selatan yaitu Perang Dagang Jepang-Korea Selatan 2019, penarikan Korea Selatan dari General Security of Military Information Agreement (GSOMIA) dan pemboikotan produk Jepang yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat Korea Selatan. Permasalahan comfort women yang tidak kunjung terselesaikan telah mempengaruhi perekonomian, keamanan nasional, hingga kehidupan sosial masyarakat kedua negara.</p>

Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to analyse how the issue of “comfort women” affects Japan’s relations with its neighboring countries, namely South Korea and the Philippines, using qualitative methods, and constructivism as the conceptual framework. “Comfort women” or “jugun ianfu” in Japanese, and “wianbu” in romanized Korean, is an euphemism used to describe young women from all across Asia who were forced to please the Japanese troops sexually during World War II. These young women were deceived, lured, or kidnapped and then confined in “comfort stations.” Initially, the Japanese government denied that they had systematically confined these so-called “comfort women” and distributed them to comfort stations to be sex slaves, and rejected demands for a formal apology and war reparations to the victims. This had outraged South Korea and the comfort women survivors. This paper suggests that Japan finally admitted its role in the establishment of comfort stations in 1993, and has been trying to make amends with these countries. The process of making amends remains a persistent controversy, with Japan seeking to turn over a new leaf and many South Koreans and Filipinos striving to not let the tragic history be forgotten.

Abstract:

This article focused on the Korean comfort women issue(Chongshindae issue).The Chongshindae issue is not just a question, which was silent for about 50 years. It has an important influence on contemporary times in Korean and other Asian societies. Moreover, it can prevent future problems related to social class, gender issues, violations against women and the impact of patriarchal organizations. This article argues, first, the issue of the comfort women system during the war between Japan and South Korea evolved into a universal dispute in the contemporary world. Moreover, not only Korean feminists, but also feminist scholars and human rights activists from different countries were involved. In otherwise, it is important to note that the gender hierarchy and patriarchal society in both countries of Japan and Korea limited the opportunities of feminists and human rights activists over the comfort women issue. The Controversial AWF seemed like a tool of Japan to avoid their legal responsibility and official apology. Nevertheless, the Chongshindae movement had achieved remarkable success regarding the comfort women issue, despite the controversies between the two countries, especially in establishing the historical monument. Moreover, a feminist national context helped to raise the issue of comfort women as a political issue, and made it symbolic.

Abstract:

Japan’s brutal military occupation of Korea from 1910 until the end of the Second World War is generally remembered as a period of grave injustice which has defined a large part of what it means to be Korean. Though the list of crimes is vast, today it seems that one of the most barbaric offences committed at the time was the formation of ‘comfort stations’ – a euphemistic term used to describe the sexual exploitation of mostly Korean women by the Japanese military and government. After a decisive end to Japan’s military conquest of control over the Asia Pacific with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, former ‘comfort women’ were silenced for over half a century by a deeply systemic sense of shame. Korean patriarchy pressed many survivors to hide their plight or even back into different sectors of the sex industry. However, South Korea’s democratization in the late-1980s ...

Abstract:

Comfort Women Agreement sebagai upaya penyelesaian isu comfort women diantara Korea Selatan dan Jepang telah tercapai di tahun 2015. Sebagai tindak lanjut dalam perwujudan skema perjanjian tersebut, salah satu kebijakan yang harus diimplementasikan oleh pemerintah Korea Selatan yakni mendirikan sebuah yayasan untuk memberi dukungan kepada semua mantan comfort women dalam penyembuhan luka psikologis melalui kontribusi dana dari anggaran Pemerintah Jepang. Namun Comfort Women Agreement dan pendirian yayasan yang kemudian dinamai Reconciliation and Healing Foundation masih ditanggapi dengan respon negatif dari masyarakat dan korban comfort women di Korea Selatan. Hal ini menjadi jalan terjal yang dihadapi dalam proses implementasi Reconciliation and Healing Foundation dan berujung pada pembubaran yayasan tersebut pada tahun 2018. Penelitian ini bermaksud menjelaskan bagaimana faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pelaksanaan implementasi yayasan tersebut oleh Korea Selatan dalam skema perwujudan Comfort Women Agreement. Untuk menganalisis fenomena tersebut akan menggunakan teori implementasi kebijakan dari Merilee S. Grindle. Hasil dari penelitian ini menjelaskan bagaimana konten kebijakan dan lingkungan implementasi menjadi faktor yang mengakibatkan terbentuknya jalan terjal dalam proses implementasi Reconciliation and Healing Foundation.

Abstract:

In producing Chungmi Kim's eponymous Hanako (1999), the first Asian American play on the topic of “comfort women,” East West Players (EWP) provided a critical space for addressing this devastating chapter of Asian history and showing its relevance to communities in the United States. It also inadvertently launched the play on a ten-year transpacific journey as Comfort Women (2004) in New York and as Nabi (2005–9) throughout South Korea and Canada. Hanako dramatizes the intergenerational bonds between a Korean American university student, her grandmother, and Korean “comfort women” survivors who travel to New York to give their public testimonies. As the play develops, one learns that the grandmother has been repressing her own memories of enslavement as one of an estimated two hundred thousand young girls and women euphemistically called “comfort women” whom the Japanese Imperial military forced into sexually servicing its troops in the years leading up to and during World War II. Survivors kept their wartime experiences a secret from the public until the early 1990s, when a social movement for redress emerged in Asia. Over the past two and a half decades, activists and artists from around the world have joined survivors in their quest for justice. The recent agreement in 2015 between South Korea and Japan to “resolve” the “comfort women” issue sparked outcry from survivors and their supporters for its insincerity and inadequacy, further galvanizing the movement. Hanako and its afterlives as Comfort Women and Nabi are part of the transpacific culture of political activism and artistic expression that contends with the ongoing struggle over the history of “comfort women.”

Abstract:

Many countries in Asia were conquered by Japan during the World War II, including Korea and Indonesia. Romusha, or slavery system introduced by Japan, also imposed to women. Girls were sent to brothels as Jugun Ianfu/‘comfort women’. Differ from men, women got double burdens, both physically and mentally, thus trauma was inevitable. The belief of taboo is also spreading, hence the movement of victims which demands to get their dignity back is rarely found. Using setting agenda theory and social movement theory, this paper argues that the best potential to promote human rights and justice of ‘comfort women’ goes to media. In South Korea, social movement has been advocating people about ‘comfort women’ as forced victims, not a voluntarily choice. Through engaging media, they hope to use its power to persuade people, changing the paradigm that ’comfort women’ were not sexual workers, but victims of war who needs assistance from society to heal their trauma.Keywords: ‘comfort women’, Japan colonization, media, sexual harassment, social movement

Abstract:

History problems remain the major bone of contention in contemporary Japan-South Korea relations. Paradoxically, while their historical roots in Japan’s colonization of the Korean peninsula have gradually receded, the diplomatic friction surrounding them has grown ever more intense. The post-Cold War era in particular has witnessed a marked surge in bilateral contention over the burden of the past. Challenging conventional state-centric and national conceptions of history problems, this dissertation explains the paradox as a rise in contentious activism in Japan and Korea that began against a backdrop of democratization in the late 1980s. Driving this trend were the Korean victims of Japanese colonial and wartime policies, intent on exacting redress for their historical ordeals, and their support networks in Korea and Japan. Based on extensive fieldwork in both countries, it argues that the essential dynamics of these victim-centric history problems have evolved not along national lines, but between the two governments on the one hand, and transnational advocacy networks anchored in Japan and Korea, on the other. The pressure tactics of these networks have become increasingly effectual over time, manifesting as a new logic for the bilateral relationship: one in which citizens are now agents in shaping state-to-state interaction. Drawing on case studies of Korean A-bomb victims, comfort women and forced laborers, the dissertation aims to explicate the influence of advocacy networks on inter-state behavior. It investigates the question: under what conditions and by what means do transnational advocacy networks affect the way that states interact? Through this inquiry it also establishes why certain networks have greater bearing on state-to-state relations than others. The analysis finds that among the array of tactics employed by transnational advocacy networks, those most likely to affect state-to-state interaction are: disclosure of inculpatory evidence; framing a grievance as a human rights issue; engaging external governments and international bodies; and litigation. In addition to (but not mutually exclusive of) these means, the conditions under which advocacy networks most affect state-to-state interaction are when: the target state is the sole culprit; the target state’s economic interests in the addressee state become threatened; and when a bilateral treaty clause is overturned. By establishing a causal connection between advocacy networks and inter-state behavior, this study offers novel insights into the fraught diplomatic trajectory of post-Cold War Japan-Korea relations, addresses a lacuna in the scholarship on history problems, and builds on the theoretical understanding of the role of transnational advocacy networks in international politics.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to explore the way in which sexualities and identities are involved in the creation of patriarchal relations, ethnic hierarchies and colonial power in the context of "Comfort Women". The women were considered sexual slaves for Japanese soldiers during World War II. I attempt to show the It) ways in which masculinity, femininity, and national identity were re/constructed through the enforcement of the subject-positionings of gender, colonialism and nationalism. The questions I raise and attempt to answer are: What kinds of masculinity and femininity of the Japanese soldiers and Korean "Comfort Women" respectively, and the national identities of both, were re/constructed through the comfort station system? How were the positionings of the "Comfort Women" enacted through daily practices and ideology, and what were the consequences of the re/construction of their identity? Finally, how did the "Comfort Women" position themselves in the face of the imposition of gender and national identities, by Japanese colonial and Korean nationalist power? I use personal narratives, including testimonies and life histories of the former Korean "Comfort Women" and Japanese veterans obtained from my interviews with them as well as from testimonies already released. I interviewed thirteen former Korean "Comfort Women" and seventeen Japanese veterans. Thirteen out of the veterans were 'rehabilitated' in China after World War El, the remaining four were not. I also occasionally use official documents on the comfort station system, which were issued by the Japanese military and the Western Allies. I argue that the development of gender and national identities contributed to the construction of Japanese colonialism, and that the "Comfort Women" system helped to produce and reproduce Japan as an imperial state with power over the lives and human resources of the colonies. In particular, the maintenance of the military system depended on the circulation of these concepts of masculinity and femininity. The regulation of masculine and feminine sexuality and national identities through the military comfort station system was a crucial means through which Japan expanded its colonies by military means.

Abstract:

A presente investigação tem como objetivo analisar os motivos que influenciaram o silêncio das Mulheres de Conforto de nacionalidade coreana, sobre o prisma dos movimentos feministas coreanos que estudaram as atrocidades cometidas pelo Japão durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945). Através do estudo do período colonial japonês na península coreana (1905-1945) e da emergência do sistema de conforto, procedemos à análise dos fatores que motivaram os movimentos feministas sul-coreanas na mobilização de recursos para a defesa e apoio das Mulheres de Conforto após a democratização do país a partir dos finais de 1980s. Para o efeito, recorremos à análise de fontes secundárias e a uma visita a Seul para contacto direto com movimentos feministas que apoiam as Mulheres Conforto bem como para uma entrevista com uma sobrevivente do Sistema de Conforto estabelecido pelo Japão durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Esta investigação permite concluir que a mobilização dos movimentos feministas sul-coreanos influenciou positivamente a quebra do silêncio das mulheres que sobreviveram ao Sistema de Conforto e que têm conseguido conquistar atenção e espaço junto da sociedade coreana e internacional, utilizando as suas experiências como argumento de defesa dos direitos das mulheres no mundo.
This research aims at explaining the reasons behind the silence of Korean Comfort Women by looking at the role played by the country´s feminist movements in studying and denouncing the atrocities committed by Japan during the Second World War (1939-1945). Through the study of the Japanese colonial period in Korea (1905-1945) and emergence of the Comfort Women System, we proceed to the analysis of the factors that motivated the influence of the feminist movements for the Korean Comfort Women to mobilize the necessary resources in order to break these women’s silence following the country´s democratization by the end of the 1980s. Therefore, we have proceeded to the analysis of secondary resources as well as a visit to Seoul for direct contact with feminist movements working with Comfort Women and an interview with a survivor of the Comfort System set by Japan in Asia during the Second World War. This investigation allowed us to conclude that the mobilization of the South Korean feminist movements has contribute to provide a positive influence in the end of the silence by women survivors of the Comfort System who have been able to conquer the attention and space in the domestic and international arena and use their testimonies to argue in favor of women rights in the world.

Abstract:

This thesis examines how Shinzo Abe’s historical perspectives on “comfort women” and the Nanjing Massacre are influenced by global demands. Abe’s official account on these issues have been affected by pressures to reconcile with South Korea and to face China’s rise for strategic reasons. This originates from sources including think tanks such as the Center for Strategic and International Studies and media. Joseph Nye’s concept of soft power will provide the theoretical background to analyze Abe’s views on both issues. The existence and method through which these pressures are applied will be detailed and explored. This research will hope to contribute to the understanding of historical memory in the Asia-Pacific and how it remains an issue that undergoes changes in the current political climate.

Abstract:

AbstractGiven the deadlock in the current negotiations between Germany and Italy and the unavailability of judicial remedies for the victims, the two states could set up a reparation scheme. This chapter sketches some of the main features of such a hypothetical scheme, considering existing internal or international arrangements in the context of transitional justice (the Foundation ‘Remembrance, Responsibility and Future’ (Erinnerung, Verantwortung und Zukunft) scheme; the Australian DART scheme; the deal between Japan and South Korea on reparations to ‘comfort women’; the US/French schemes for reparations and restitution to holocaust victims; the Eritrea/Ethiopia reparations scheme; and the Iraq/Kuwait scheme). In particular, the emphasis is on the system of identification of the eligible victims, the question of financing and the fate of pending and future judicial claims. Assuming the states’ willingness to explore this project, the chapter outlines some of the ways the scheme could operate in practice, drawing from existing models.
