Although the two Koreas are typically seen as isolated from each other, texts continued to circulate between them—with the assistance of Korean diasporic and other colleagues in Japan—throughout the ensuing decades. I Jonathan Kief follows the triangular flow of texts linking North Korea, South Korea, and Japan from 1945 until the 1980s, r...

In this investigation of the contemporary notion of evil, C.

The major theme of this KIAS Workshop encompasses astroparticle physics, astro-hadron physics, and relativistic astrophysics. The Workshop focused on highly explosive phenomena in astrophysical systems explored from a wide-ranging vista, such as supernova explosions, gamma-ray bursts, astrophysical jets, and neutron star and black hole systems which are believed to be the main origin of these explosive phenomena.
