Urban Representations: Visions and Actions | Perspectives on Contemporary Korea Conference

Full title: Urban Representations: Visions and Actions | Perspectives on Contemporary Korea Conference 21-22 Reclaiming the City

This video is part of a series from the University of Michigan Nam Center for Korean Studies annual conference, Perspectives on Contemporary Korea 2021-22: Reclaiming the City. Organized by Se-Mi Oh (Asian Languages and Cultures, University of Michigan) and Francisco Sanin (School of Architecture, Syracuse University). Who owns the city? Who produces the city? Who has the right to the city today? How do we practice the city?

These are the driving questions that frame our 11th conference in the Perspectives on Contemporary Korea series at the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan. Thinking about various modes of spatial practices, this conference will probe the contemporary conditions of the city in a country that has undergone exponential growth and is in constant metamorphosis.
