description: This study investigates how the adoption of say-on-pay (SoP) regulation impacts the propensity and profitability of merger and acquisitions (M&A) activities with a sample of S&P 1500 firms (2005 – 2016). We examine both (a) macro-economic effect induced by the adoption of S&P regulation in 2011, impacting all firms across the board, and (b) firm-level effect due to variation in SoP voting approval percentage in different firms. We propose and examine two relevant hypotheses: (i) ‘SoP governance’ hypothesis – to explain the impact of SoP rule adoption, and (ii) ‘reliable CEO’ hypothesis – to explain the impact of SoP voting approval percentage. ‘SoP governance’ hypothesis predicts that in the post-SoP period, CEOs will be more cautious in pursuing M&A deals – which have a high risk of failure. This should lead to a lower probability of acquisition and better acquisition performance. On the other hand, ‘reliable CEO’ hypothesis proposes that CEOs with higher SoP voting approval percentage, enjoy more shareholder confidence and are encouraged to take risky ventures to increase shareholders wealth. This should lead to a higher probability of acquisition, with better acquisition performance. Our results find partial support for ‘SoP governance’ hypothesis – that SoP rule adoption is associated with a lower probability of acquisition but does not have any significant association with acquisition performance. While examining the effect of SoP voting approval percentage, we further find support for ‘reliable CEO’ hypothesis. Our results show that SoP voting approval percentage has a significant and positive association with acquisition probability and acquisition performance. Finally, we find that SoP voting results do not have any significant moderating effect on the relationship between (i) CEO incentive pay and M&A decisions, and (ii) CEO pay slice and M&A decisions.

description: Abstract

 The paper expresses skepticism about concepts current in the contemporary literature on democratization, such as 'democratic consolidation' and/or the 'lack of institutionalization' from which most of the new democracies supposedly suffer. The further claim is made that these democracies-or 'polyarchies', to use the term preferred here-have, in fact, two very important institutions, elections and particularism/clientelism, which are not generally recognized as such due to the narrow way in which political scientists usually conceptualize institutions. Finally, the paper traces some correlates and elective affinities resulting from what it labels 'informal institutionalization.' The main argument is that, in order to contribute to improving the quality of many of the new polyarchies, analysts must describe their main features realistically, which requires moving well beyond merely negative characterizations limited to what these countries seem to lack in comparison with older polyarchies.

 Resumen

 El texto expresa escepticismo en relación con conceptos, corrientes en la literatura contemporánea sobre democratización, tales como "consolidación de la democracia" y/o la aparente "falta de institutionalización que aparentemente padecen muchas de las nuevas democracias. El texto argumenta, además, que estas democracias-o poliarquías-tienen dos instituciones sumamente importante, las elecciones y un difundido particularismo/clientelismo. El problema es que estas instituciones no suelen ser reconocidas como tales, debido a la estrecha manera con que la ciencia política suele conceptualizar las instituciones. Finalmente, el texto traza algunas correlaciones y afinidades electivas resultantes de lo que llama la "institucionalización informal" de esas poliarquías. El principal argumento es que, para contribuir a mejorar la calidad de muchas de esas poliarquías, es necesario comenzar por describir realistamente sus principales características. Esto requiere superar caracterizaciones puramente negativas, basadas en los atributos de que aquellas parecen carecer cuando comparadas con las viejas poliarquías.

Ptychotrichos fenestrifer; Pinheiro & Gaal-Haszler, 2015: 511, fig. 8.
Diagnosis. Vertex, dorsal surface of thorax, patagia, tegulae and forewings with grayish-green and brown scales, the latter also with white scales rendering a hyaline appearance where they occur. Post-occiput with small light yellow spots. Hindwings partially hyaline. Discal cell open. Dorsal surface of abdominal tergites roseate, except for T7–8, brown with the posterior margin roseate and white, respectively. S2–4 brown with laterals white. Remaining sternites entirely brown.
Material examined (2 ♂ and 1 ♀). BRAZIL: Maranhão, Açailândia, 4°56'49"S 47°30'17"W, 19–27.xi. 1990, 150m, V. O. Becker & G. S.

Truxal (LACM), 1 male; idem, LRP404, 1 male.
Remarks. This species belongs to Heliura excavata species group (sensu Pinheiro & Duarte 2016). This group was originally defined by the peculiar hindwing shape exhibited by its members, H. excavata (Dognin, 1910), H. perexcavata (Rothschild, 1912), and H. juliani Pinheiro & Duarte, 2016. Even though H. fenestrifer comb. nov. does not have acute angles in the hindwings as in the other species in the group, they all share a highly peculiar hindwing venation (fig. 6), plus several characters of male genitalia, such as a long and thin saccus, and subdivided valvae with a dorsal highly sclerotized portion, and a ventral, slightly sclerotized portion.
As in P. zeus, the wide distribution of H. fenestrifer comb. nov. raises doubt that a single taxon has such a wide distribution. However, the rarity of specimens of this group in collections and the lack of possibility to barcode old museum specimens have prevented the examination of the number of taxa involved in what we are here calling H. fenestrifer comb. nov.

Ethnicity and Development: The Caribbean and Oceania
Creators: name: Premdas, Ralph
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 The environment of cultural pluralism and ethnic diversity is now grudgingly but generally acknowledged as a critical variable that must be incorporated in designing new strategies for development. There is urgent need to discuss the relationship between ethnicity and development in all its manifold political, economic, and social dimensions. The task is daunting; on its outcome may rest the fruitfulness of many designs of development involving billions of dollars and the fate of millions of poor people. The aim of this paper is to offer some empirical evidence and to generate some theoretical insights into the behavior of the ethnic factor in the development experience of two Third World countries, one in the Caribbean and the other in the Pacific Islands. I believe that systematic data derived from individual case histories can offer important building blocks towards constructing a wider theory on the connection between ethnicity and development.

 Resumen

 El pluralismo cultural y la diversidad étnica son generalmente considerados, aunque de mala gana, como variables críticas que deben ser incorporadas en el diseño de nuevas estrategias para el desarrollo. Hay una necesidad urgente de discutir la relación existente entre la etnicidad y el desarrollo en sus múltiples dimensiones políticas, económicas y sociales. La tarea es aterradora; de sus resultados depende la utilidad de muchos programas de desarrollo, que involucran miles de millones de dólares, así como el destino de millones de gente pobre. El objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer evidencia empírica y generar algunas observaciones teóricas sobre el papel del factor étnico en la experiencia de desarrollo de dos países del tercer mundo, uno en el Caribe y el otro en las islas del Pacífico. Creo que la existencia de información sistemática sobre estudios de caso particulares puede ofrecer pilares importantes para la construcción de una teoría más general sobre la relación entre etnicidad y desarrollo.

description: Chapter 1.—This chapter addresses model specification uncertainty using the Bayesian Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). Employing Canadian data, I estimate 64 hybrid New Keynesian models which differ in their lag specification, and use a modified GMM quadratic function to produce model posteriors. I compute optimal discretionary policies for each model and then derive a posterior-weighted policy and loss. My results show that i) policy should respond more to the output gap than inflation, ii) a more aggressive policy is prescribed for the period of stagflation in the 1970s and early 1980s and iii) a relatively light-touch policy is recommended during the Great Moderation, and produces better outcomes. This last result supports the hypothesis of ‘good luck’ over ‘good policy’. Chapter 2.—In this chapter I develop an inverse control procedure to recover the under- lying preferences of a monetary authority engaged in discretionary policymaking. I adjoin the first-order condition (FOC) of the optimal interest rate rule-setting derived under discretion to the usual least squares moment conditions during the GMM procedure. Using Monte Carlo simulations, I show that the preferences on output gap stabilization and interest rate smoothing may be recovered. Robustness reveals that recovering the preference on the output gap is dependent upon policy actions having sufficient effect on the macroeconomy. Further testing indicates that the procedure functions for alternative starting values, may be adapted to different lag specifications of the underlying model, and is able to recover different sets of policy preferences. Chapter 3.—This chapter tests the hypothesis that the monetary authorities of Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom have exhibited similar preferences over stabilizing the output gap and smoothing the interest rate, by way of an inverse control algorithm (FOC- based GMM) for a discretionary policymaker. For the sample period covering 1968:1-2006:4, the FOC-based provides comparable structural estimates to a benchmark specification using an instrument-based GMM. The data suggest no role for output stabilization in any country, but a large and significant concern for interest rate smoothing is observed in Canada. Measures of fit reject optimality in the United States for baseline specification sample, but do not preclude it in any country when sample periods are restricted to the current man- dates. Policymakers’ reaction functions are shown to be sensitive to the underlying policy preferences, though decreasingly so at high levels of interest rate smoothing. Robustness is seen with respect to starting values and fixed policy coefficients.

German Capitalism: Does It Exist? Can It Survive?
Creators: name: Streeck, Wolfgang
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 In the roughly four decades between the end of the Second World War and German unification, West German society gave rise to a distinctive kind of capitalist economy, governed by nationally specific social institutions that made for high international competitiveness at high wages and, at the same time, low inequality of incomes and living standards. Already by the late 1980s, when the differences in performance and social organization between the West German economy and its main competitors came to be widely noticed, the continued economic viability of the 'German model' began to appear doubtful to many. Shortly thereafter, the survival of the German version of advanced capitalism became tied to its successful extension to the former East Germany. With the 1992 completion of the European Internal Market, it became in addition dependent on the compatibility of German economic institutions with the emerging regime of the integrated European economy.

 Resumen

 En las aproximadamente cuatro décadas transcurridas entre el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la unificación alemana, la sociedad germano-occidental dio origen a un tipo distintivo de economía capitalista, gobernado por instituciones sociales nacionalmente específicas que produjeron alta competitividad internacional con salarios altos y, al mismo tiempo, baja desigualdad de ingresos y niveles de vida. Ya alrededor de fines de los '80, cuando las diferencias en performance y organización social entre la economía germano-occidental y sus principales competidores comenzaron a ser ampliamente percibidas, la sostenida viabilidad económica del 'Modelo Alemán' empezo a aparecer dudosa a los ojos de muchos. Poco tiempo después, la supervivencia de la versión alemana de capitalismo avanzado quedaba sujeta a su exitosa extensión a la ex Alemania del Este. Con el completo establecimiento del Mercado Común Europeo esta supervivencia devino, además, dependiente de la compatibilidad de las instituciones económicas alemanas con el emergente régimen de la economía europea integrada.

The Political Economy of Distributional Equity in Comparative Perspective
Creators: name: Kim, Kwan
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 Growing income inequality within a country is caused by socioeconomic factors and inadequate government policies and ultimately leads to social and political instabilities. The ideology of supply-side economics in the United States and the United Kingdom during the 1980s, for instance, induced policies of inequality which were then perceived as a way to stimulate economic growth. The demise of East European socialism since the late 1980s also led many developing countries to pursue market reforms as a way to resuscitate their moribund economies. There is evidence, however, to indicate that the distribution of income in these countries is becoming more unequal with attendant and frequently grave social and political consequences.

 Resumen

 La creciente desigualdad en la distribución del ingreso en un país es causada por factores socioeconómicos y por políticas gubernamentales inadecuadas y, finalmente, conduce a la inestabilidad política y social. La ideología de la economía de la oferta en los Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña durante la década de los años ochenta, por ejemplo, produjo políticas que propiciaron una mayor desigualdad, políticas que fueron percibidas en ese entonces como una manera de estimular el crecimiento económico. La desaparición del socialismo en Europa oriental a partir de finales de los años ochenta, también condujo a muchos países en desarrollo a buscar con afán reformas de mercado como una manera de resucitar sus economías moribundas. Sin embargo, hay evidencia que indica que la distribución del ingreso en estos países se está haciendo cada vez más desigual, trayendo consigo graves consecuencias políticas y sociales.

The Honecker Trial: The East German Past and the German Future
Creators: name: McAdams, A.James
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 Fifty years after the Nuremberg tribunals, Germany is once again caught up in a series of controversial trials involving former dictators. This time officials of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) sit in the dock. Some observers have criticized these proceedings, maintaining that they will result in the imposition of an arbitrary form of 'victor's justice.' Others have claimed, in contrast, that the cumbersome German Rechtsstaat ('state under the law') will prove incapable of responding to public demands for retribution. In this paper the author maintains that Germany's courts have not been at a loss to answer these complaints. By grounding their judgments in preexisting East German law, the courts have managed to bring some of the GDR's former leaders to justice while at the same time guaranteeing most defendants the full protections of the rule of law. In the process the courts have even conveyed an important message about the terms under which both German populations will be brought back together again.

 Resumen

 Cincuenta años después de los tribunales de Nuremberg, Alemania se encuentra, una vez más, atrapada en una serie de juicios controvertidos que involucran a ex-dictadores. Esta vez, las autoridades de la ex-República Democrática Alemana (GDR), se encuentran en el banquillo de los acusados. Algunos observadores han criticado estos procedimientos, arguyendo que traerán como resultado la imposición de una forma arbitraria de 'justicia del vencedor.' Otros, en contraste, sostienen que el Rechtsstaat alemán ('estado bajo la ley'), difícil de manejar, será incapaz de responder a las demandas públicas de retribución. En este artículo, el autor sostiene que las cortes alemanas no han sido inefectivas al responder a estas quejas. Al asentar sus juicios en la ley preexistente de Alemania del Este, las cortes han logrado enjuiciar a algunos de los ex-líderes de la República Democrática Alemana, garantizando, al mismo tiempo, a la mayoría de los acusados, la protección completa del estado de derecho. Incluso, a lo largo del proceso, las cortes han transmitido un mensaje importante acerca de los términos bajo los cuales ambas poblaciones alemanas quedarán unidas nuevamente.

The Origins and Transformations of the Chilean Party System
Creators: name: Valenzuela, J.Samuel
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 This paper analyzes the Chilean party system from its inception to the present. It presents three polarities as basic to the constitution of the Chilean parties: in addition to the state/church conflicts and the divisions over socioeconomic programs, it shows that for long periods of its history the party system contained parties devoted to supporting specific political leaders or their legacies. The coalitional behavior of the Chilean parties during many decades cannot be explained without taking this polarizing (or unifying) factor into account. It was in evidence between 1856 and 1874 given the impact of the montt-varistas, between 1894 and 1925 due to the balmacedistas, between 1936 and the mid-1950s given ibañismo, and since 1985 as a result of the military government and its effects on the formation of a new party of the Right. The argument also reveals the extent to which the Chilean party system has nineteenth-century origins and emphasizes the importance of electoral rules in molding its transformations. The paper concludes by pointing to the fact that the Chilean electorate has considerable loyalty to party tendencies but less loyalty to specific party labels.

 Resumen

 Este ensayo analiza el sistema partidario chileno desde sus orígenes hasta el presente. Señala que se ha constituído en torno a tres polaridades: además de los conflictos clericales/anticlericales y de derecha/izquierda, el trabajo indica que por largos períodos el sistema ha generado además partidos dedicados a apoyar y a líderes políticos específicos o sus legados. Los patrones de formación de las coaliciones partidarias no se pueden entender durante muchas décadas sin tomar en cuenta el efecto polarizante (o agluti-nante) de estos últimos partidos. Ello ocurrió entre 1856 y 1874 por efecto de los montt-varistas, entre 1894 y 1925 por cuenta de los balmacedistas, entre 1936 y mediados de los cincuenta con el ibañismo, y desde 1985 como resultado del gobierno militar y su impacto en la formación de un nuevo partido de derecha. El artículo también revela hasta qué punto el sistema partidario chileno tiene orígenes decimonónicos, y enfatiza la importancia de las reglas electorales en moldear sus transformaciones. Concluye notando que el electorado chileno tiene una lealtad considerable por la tendencias partidarias, pero menos lealtad por las etiquetas partidarias.

Catholicism, Anticlericalism, and the Quest for Women's Suffrage in Chile
Creators: name: Maza Valenzuela, Erika
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 Catholic countries typically enfranchised women later than Protestant ones, and analysts have long argued that this delay was due to the influence of Catholic political and Church leaders as well as to the effects of a Catholic culture. By examining the history of the extension of suffrage to women and women's political participation in Chile since the mid-nineteenth century, this paper challenges that widely held notion. It shows that Catholic and Conservative leaders were the earliest voices in favor of extending suffrage to women. It also shows that Catholic women were involved in political and social affairs from an early date in the country's history as an independent nation, and that they developed feminist views. The paper concludes that the delay in enacting a women's suffrage bill for national elections in Chile (1949) was caused by the wariness of the anticlerical parties regarding the effects of such a measure on the balance of electoral forces, especially since the elections were very competitive and the electorate was small. Given the long-standing and visible association of socially prominent and politically influential women with the Catholic Church and Catholic beneficence institutions, there was a widespread expectation-which proved to be correct as seen in the municipal elections in which women first voted beginning in 1935-that women voters would tend to favor the Conservative Party.

 Resume

 Debido a que típicamente en los países católicos las mujeres obtuvieron el derecho al sufragio después que en los protestantes, los analistas han atribuído este retraso a la influencia de una cultura católica sobre los líderes políticos y eclesiásticos. Basándose en un estudio de la historia del sufragio femenino y la participación política de las mujeres en Chile desde el siglo XIX, este artículo rechaza dicha noción. Fueron líderes católicos y conservadores los primeros en favorecer la extensión del sufragio a la mujer. Las mujeres católicas participaban en la vida política y en las instituciones sociales chilenas desde los comienzos de la República, y prontamente desarrollaron posiciones feministas. Este ensayo concluye que el retraso en aprobar el proyecto de ley de sufragio femenino en las elecciones presidenciales y parlamentarias (1949) se debió a la resistencia de los partidos anticlericales: temían que el voto femenino alteraría el equilibrio de las fuerzas electorales, efecto que podía magnificarse porque las elecciones eran muy competitivas y el electorado pequeño. Dado el vínculo histórico altamente visible entre la Iglesia y mujeres políticamente influyentes y de rol protagónico en las instituciones educacionales y de beneficencia católicas, era previsible que el voto femenino favoreciese al Partido Conservador, resultado que se produjo en las elecciones municipales en que participaron las mujeres a partir de 1935.

Network Capital in Capitalist, Communist, and Post-Communist Societies
Creators: name: Sik, Endre
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 The term 'network capital' comprises the use of a wide variety of personal networks: for example, altruistic, long-lasting, multipurpose relations; balanced, short-term patron-client relations; instrumental barter; and exploitative unequal exchanges such as bribery and corruption. Every society can be characterized by a particular level and form of network capital, based on its culture and on its historically and structurally determined organizational framework. The scope and role of network capital is a simultaneous function of already existing network capital and the changing economic situation. This paper's first hypothesis is that the size of network capital is greater under communism than capitalism because of the differences in cultural, historical developments and because there are greater socioeconomic pressures in communist societies that give network capital more opportunities to operate. The second contention is that in the course of transition from communism to capitalism-i.e., in the postcommunist period-networking actually becomes more widespread, although the previous hypothesis might seem to suggest that it would diminish.

 Resume

 El término 'capital de red' comprende una amplia variedad de redes personales: por ejemplo, relaciones de múltiples propósitos, altruistas y duraderas; relaciones patrón cliente, equilibradas y de corto plazo; trueque instrumental; intercambios desiguales y de explotación tales como cohecho y corrupción. Toda sociedad puede ser caracterizada de acuerdo con un nivel y forma particular de su capital de red basado en su cultura y en su marco organizacional histórica y estructuralmente determinado. El alcance y rol del capital de red es una función simultánea del capital de red ya existente y de la cambiante situación económica. La primera hipótesis de este artículo es que el tamaño del capital de red es mayor bajo el comunismo que bajo el capitalismo, como resultado de diferencias en los respectivos desarrollos culturales e históricos y porque en sociedades comunistas existen presiones socioeconómicas más grandes, dando así mayores oportunidades para operar al capital de red. La segunda afirmación es que en el curso de la transición de comunismo hacia el capitalismo-es decir, en el período post-comunista-la constitución de redes deviene más frecuente y extensa, aunque la hipótesis previa parecería sugerir que disminuiría.
The Political Underpinnings of Economic Liberalization in Chile
Creators: name: Scully, Timothy
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 The contemporary consensus over economic policy-making in Chile and the democratic government's capacity to effectively implement these policies are powerfully shaped by a combination of institutional legacies from Chile's democratic past and certain institutional holdovers from the Pinochet regime. This paper reviews briefly the performance of the Chilean economy under the Concertation government headed by Patricio Aylwin. It then argues that Chile's democratic government has been uniquely endowed with a capacity to successfully sustain economic liberalization, in part because of the reappearance of a well-institutionalized party system, in part because of certain nondemocratic limits built into the democratic game during the Pinochet regime. Over the medium term, however, these limits may pose a threat to the consensual style of politics that has come to characterize the post-Pinochet political arena in Chile, and ultimately may threaten democratic political stability if left unaddressed.

 Resumen

 El consenso actual sobre la política económica de Chile y la capacidad del gobierno democrático para llevar a cabo efectivamente esta política han sido, en gran parte, moldeado por una combinación de legados institucionales del pasado democrático de Chile y de ciertos remanentes institucionales del régimen de Pinochet. El presente trabajo hace una breve reseña del desempeño de la economía chilena bajo el gobierno de Concertación encabezado por Patricio Aylwin. Posteriormente sostiene que el gobierno democrático de Chile ha mostrado una capacidad singular para mantener exitosamente la liberalización económica, en parte debido a la reaparición de un sistema de partidos bien institucionalizado, y en parte debido a ciertos límites no democráticos establecidos dentro del juego democrático durante el régimen de Pinochet. Sin embargo, a mediano plazo, estos límites pueden representar una amenaza al estilo consensual de hacer política que ha llegado a caracterizar a la arena política en Chile posterior a Pinochet , y si no se les atiende, pueden llegar a constituírse en una amenaza para la estabilidad política democrática.

title: A setup for micro-structured silicon targets by femtosecond laser irradiation
Creators: name: Neumann, Nico W.

name: Schaumann, Gabriel
name: Roth, Markus
Publisher: name: IOP Publishing
Year: 2024

description: We present a process to fabricate micro-structured thin silicon foils with highly light absorbing properties over a broad wavelength region based on short-pulse laser treatment. We employ this fascinating technique to the fabrication of targets for high-intensity laser-plasma experiments. A polished silicon wafer is processed with high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses resulting in conical spikes within the irradiated region. Height, distance, and shape of these spikes depend primarily on the number, energy, central wavelength and duration of the incident laser pulses, as well as the ambient medium. This method is of great value for the future development of target fabrication. The broad parameter base offers a huge selection regarding shape and dimensions of the resulting structure. It can be included in existing laser operations within the manufacturing chain while offering a high degree of customisability. Within the reach of higher repetition rates of high-power laser systems and an increased number of requested targets, this manufacturing method can be scaled while being cost efficient and easily adaptable.

Listening to South Korean Fiction through Popular Songs, 1950s–1970s
Creators: name: Waddell, Ethan
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Korea
subject: fiction
subject: popular music
subject: literature

description: This dissertation examines popular music embedded in and constitutive of a selection of Korean prose fictions composed amidst the three-decade long turbulence of militarization, cold war realignment, and rapid development in the southern part of Korea beginning with liberation from Japanese colonial rule in 1945. It argues that, as powerful vehicles for eliciting collective experiences of nationhood, providing comfort and solace, and embodying feelings of liberation, popular song forms enabled writers to develop unique artistic practices for capturing emotions and experiences of everyday life which could not be depicted through preexisting literary means. Situated at the lacuna between interpretive practices and histories of South Korean popular music and sound media on the one hand, and literary prose and print media on the other, the dissertation is conceptualized around the pressing methodological question of how to develop ways to read Korean fiction informed by the rhythms, lyrics, voices, media, histories, and compositional forms of popular Korean genres and artists. Structured chronologically by decade, the dissertation presents four case studies, each of which reveals a rich terrain of intermedial and intertextual linkages that give insight into how sonic and musical modes of aestheticization have enabled individuals to reclaim, reckon with, and reimagine themselves as the subjects of both their own lives and the collective life of South Korea amidst the crucible of accelerated modernization. The first two body chapters examine military songs (kun'ga) and historical fiction about the Korean War while the remaining two chapters focus respectively on trot (t'ŭrot'ŭ) in connection with semi-autobiographical narratives of hometown return from the 1960s, and psychedelic rock in the context of 1970s youth culture literature. Through these analyses, the dissertation constructs a more comprehensive and integrated cultural history of popular music and literature in postwar South Korea, challenging and enriching existing disciplinary boundaries.
