ABSTRACT

This paper is to figure out what we can still learn from Takeuchi Yoshimi(竹内 好)’s two articles of “Asia as a Method” and “Pan-Asianism” to understand the topos of Choson at that time and Korea now. In other words, in writing this paper, there are two ultimate questions I deal with. What roles and positions do Choson or Korea have in his “Pan-Asianism”? What does it mean to talk about “Asia as a Method” now in Korea? By taking a closer look at what Takeuchi Yoshimi proposed in these two articles, I will try to find out what we can still learn from his “Asia” discourse. And hopefully, I will try to use it to question and problematize recent “East Asia” discourses of our own time.
