This chapter examines the efforts of tsarist officials to transform the Korean border population into loyal Russian subjects through education and religious missions of the Orthodox Church. It also explores the active accommodation of cultural practices by the population and, after 1905, the attempt by Korean nationalist émigrés to impose a new Korean identity on the people. It shows that while the respective agendas of Russian and Korean nationalists were ostensibly at odds with each other, both subscribed to the idea that to be civilized, a subject needed to exhibit devotion to a single nation and adhere to specific types of moral behavior. By the early 1900s, ideas of civilization had become inseparable from the ideology of the nation. Instead of adopting a single country’s customs and thinking, Koreans proved as adaptable in their customs and behavior as they did in methods of rule and governance.Less

This chapter explores the state of religion and the university prior to the advent of the post-secular age in order to better understand the intricate history that produced the present regime of the secular academy. It explains how the regime of church-and-state separation has been developed and instituted in an intricate relation to what might be called the regime of “church and school separation.” It argues that the secularity of the academy cannot be considered as either a natural precondition for the mission of the institution devoted to scientific inquiry or its after effect; rather, the academy as we know it has been deeply entangled in the production of the secular, in a relation that is both instrumental and symbiotic.Less

The chapter employs the true story of a little boy who undertook a standard apprenticeship in music, Joseph Haydn, as a case study to explore the social background of participants in the Catholic educational system and the importance of the church in musical life. It details the long years of training undergone by church music apprentices who usually had little chance of musical success thereafter. The predominance of the Italian training system over the German—and the relative ease of obtaining the best positions for graduates of the former—are examined. The chapter shows how the prominence of this system explains the continued reliance on an archaic solmization system.Less
