This article aims at analyzing and explaining the process of invention, as well as its diffusion, and finally examining the controversy around the meaning of the adage Shintobul-i. This Korean set phrase literally means “Soil and body are one and the same.” Looking at the form of the adage, one can easily be misled and think that it comes from traditional Korea or ancient China. Actually, it is an invention of the Korean Agricultural Cooperative in 1989 in order to mobilize the public against trade liberalization. The case study of Shintobul-i indicates that the cultural dimension of nationalism can be deeply intertwined with economic interests so that they mutually reinforces in a synergetic process. 1) The principal actors in the invention process are educated urban elites, even though farmers contributed to the popularization of the idiom. 2) The emergence of Shintobul-i as a symbol of national identity corresponds to the historical context of economic development and democratization. 3) The diffusion and popularization of Shintobul-i cover a quite long period of the 1990’s and the first decade of the 21st century. 4) This case indicates that the symbols of national identity must possess the popular appealing power as well as some specific qualities, such as indispensability or prestige, which make them worth of a nation.
Abstract
This article aims at analyzing and explaining the process of invention, as well as its diffusion, and finally examining the controversy around the meaning of the adage Shintobul-i. This Korean set phrase literally means “Soil and body are one and the same.” Looking at the form of the adage, one can easily be misled and think that it comes from traditional Korea or ancient China. Actually, it is an invention of the Korean Agricultural Cooperative in 1989 in order to mobilize the public against trade liberalization. The case study of Shintobul-i indicates that the cultural dimension of nationalism can be deeply intertwined with economic interests so that they mutually reinforces in a synergetic process. 1) The principal actors in the invention process are educated urban elites, even though farmers contributed to the popularization of the idiom. 2) The emergence of Shintobul-i as a symbol of national identity corresponds to the historical context of economic development and democratization. 3) The diffusion and popularization of Shintobul-i cover a quite long period of the 1990’s and the first decade of the 21st century. 4) This case indicates that the symbols of national identity must possess the popular appealing power as well as some specific qualities, such as indispensability or prestige, which make them worth of a nation.
