Speaker: Kim Byoung-hwan
Topic: A Theory of East Asian Citizen as a Cosmopolitan Citizen: Beyond the
Gentleman-Citizen Theory.
Date: January 31, 2023.
Venue: 600th Anniversary Hall 4th Floor, Room 10418
Professor Kim pointed out that the gentleman-citizen theory overlooked the noble origins of gentlemen. He suggested to better understand the ideal form of an East Asian citizen, we should examine the literati, who were educated and not restricted by social class. This lecture provided a chance to reflect on how East Asian Classics can be reinterpreted in light of current social and political issues, and broaden these interpretations to include cosmopolitan perspectives.
