Lectures                   |          Fri,         May 16, 2008 3:30 PM,
Speaker: Mark Peterson                Asian and Near Eastern Languages, Head,
Korean Section, Brigham Young University                    In Korea , the
twentieth century present was one captured in the so-called old saying, "When
whales fight, shrimp get their backs broken."  This saying -- not really that
old -- in part of an image of Korea as a powerless victim, and the Korean
historical narrative has been one of war, chaos and invasion.   This
presentation will examine alternative national histories possible in the new
century.           Sponsor info.: Korea Studies Program
