Session
Asia, from Conflict and Violence to Hospitality and Peace
Time- 17:10 ~ 18:30
Organization- Seoul National University Asia Center
Room- Baeknok B
Speaker
In 20th century people in Asia lived in the shadow of various forms of violence, including imperialism, colonialism, war, massacre and the Cold War.
However, there were several movements working in the background to console victims of violence, give new shelters to those who lost their homes, and create peace. The pursuit of hospitality and peace in Asia existed even before modern times and it continues today, as shown by cases of Afghanistan special contributors and Ukrainian war refugees.
Jeju was once an island of violence and massacre but is now becoming an island of peace and hospitality. This session focuses on the movement toward hospitality and peace that members of the Asia region have dreamed of and put into practice. This allows us to view Asia as a place where we can overcome the past history rather than become bogged down in its shadow.
