SUMMARY:Surviving on the Edge: Korean Brothels in Colonial Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:\n	Jin Jungwon (Associate Research Fellow\, Institute of Taiwan
  History\, Academia Sinica\; HYI Visiting Scholar)\n	Chair/Discussant: Eli
 zabeth Remick (Associate Professor\, Department of Political Science\, Tuf
 ts University)\n\n	Co-sponsored with the Fairbank Center and the Korea Ins
 titute\n\n\n	Despite its wide practice\, the sex trade and sex industry in
  Taiwan and Korea had never been put under governmental control before Jap
 anese colonial rule. In the early stages of colonization\, the Japanese co
 lonizers imposed their own laws and regulations on the two newly acquired 
 colonies of Taiwan and Korea. Legislation stipulated that brothels and pro
 stitutes had to be registered\, and prostitutes had to undergo regular che
 cks for sexually transmitted diseases.\n\n	Previous studies on the history
  of colonial Korea have widely agreed that the traditional practices of th
 e sex industry in Chosŏn Korea underwent significant changes during Japan
 ese rule. However\, the issue of how state-regulated prostitution policies
  influenced Taiwanese society and shaped its sex industries requires furth
 er discussion.\n\n	In an attempt to understand how the Japanese state-regu
 lated prostitution system was implemented in colonial Taiwan\, this talk f
 ocuses particularly on the emergence and spread of Korean prostitutes and 
 brothels across Taiwan from the 1920’s onwards. By exploring the process
  of one-way migration of Korean prostitutes to Taiwan\, the talk seeks to 
 bring to light the different survival strategies of Korean brothel operato
 rs in Taiwan and Korea\, and to offer new insights on the unique traits of
  the Taiwanese sex-trade market compared to Korea.
