摘要

This introductory chapter articulates the central focus of this volume: the exploration of value and identity as they emerge in contemporary Korea. Among the various themes discussed, it highlights “in-betweenness” as a recurring concept that several contributors examine from different perspectives. The chapter also argues that Korea’s complex and shifting in-between status offers valuable insights for broader theoretical discussions. It then traces how the concepts of value and identity have been understood in academia, showing how the chapters in this volume support, expand upon, or challenge existing notions. Finally, the chapter provides an overview of the nine subsequent chapters, summarizing their key arguments and contributions.
