Research Abstract |
Firstly, we have constructed a frame of historical anthropology to analyze socio-economic changes of Korean rural society in the process of industrialization as an outcome of peasants'complex strategies of subsistence faced with over-population as well as urbanization. One of the sources of these strategies is modern experiences of migration, while there lies in the base the long duration of Korean peasants'strategy of migration and subsistence since after the late Choson period. Secondly, we have presented the perspective in which, by applying this frame to ethnographies of post-industrialized South Korea, cases of petit manufactures which lack local accumulation of resources, farming entrepreneurs, redevelopment of rural and agricultural villages, urban ways of life as well as their alternatives and rural religious practices would be interpreted as positive and flexible practices of life or economic activities based on the durability reconstructed in the industrialization.
