DESCRIPTION:Minjee Kim will give a Brown Bag Lunch presentation on Tuesday\
 , March 28\, at 12:15 pm. Her talk is entitled 'Hanbok in Modern and Postm
 odern Times: Fashion\, Counter-Fashion\, and Anti-Fashion.' Despite the we
 sternization of Korea’s daily clothing Hanbok has maintained an important 
 place in Korean society. In this talk\, Kim will provide insight into the 
 path of cultural continuity Hanbok has sustained throughout the last two c
 enturies using the framework of “fashion\,” “counter-fashion\,” and “anti-
 fashion” suggested by Brian J. McVeigh in Antifashion in East Asian Dress:
  Power of Uniforms (Berg Encyclopedia of World Dress and Fashion\, East As
 ia vol. 6. 2010). These terms will be explored by looking at Hanbok in the
  context of ceremonial dress (anti-fashion)\, activists and the politics o
 f resistance (counter-fashion)\, the steady and constant modification of s
 tyle (fashion)\, Hanbok as inspiration for creative fusion fashion design 
 (fashion)\, cultural appropriation on the global stage by high fashion des
 igners (fashion)\, and revival as a fashion statement among younger genera
 tions (fashion). Kim will argue that Hanbok in the twenty-first century le
 ans toward the category of “fashion” rather than “anti-fashion.” Minjee Ki
 m is a San Francisco Bay Area based\nindependent costume historian and lec
 turer specializing in Korean dress. She\nreceived her PhD from Seoul Natio
 nal University with a focus on the costumes\nfrom the Balhae dynasty (698–
 926). She has been a faculty member at Jeonju\nKijeon College\, a lecturer
  at Seoul National University\, and an exhibition\nconsultant for the War 
 Memorial Museum\, the National Folk Museum\, and the Seoul\nNational Unive
 rsity Museum. After moving to the US in 2000\, she noticed that\nHanbok is
  little known internationally and has dedicated herself to raising its\nvi
 sibility both in academia and for the general public. She has published\nn
 umerous papers on Korean dress.
