Ongoing Series

Many of the posts here on Little Big Things are part of a number of thematic series. If you are wondering which posts belong where, here is the master list:

 Beauty in Stillness

 A travelogue for introverts, this series looks at places where I have found peace and quiet in some of the world's busiest destinations.

Series 1: Seoul, South Korea
Seoul's Beauty in Stillness (Part 1): The Traditional Aesthetic 

 Seoul's Beauty in Stillness (Part 2): Urban Oases

 Seoul's Beauty in Stillness (Part 3): Peace and Tranquility in Namiseom

Series 2: Québec, Canada



Series 3: Canada ("Peace, Order and Good Government")



 Hallyu for Our World

 The term "hallyu" refers to the rising international popularity of South Korean popular culture, most notably its music, movies, and television dramas. This series looks at the ways in which works created for a predominantly Korean audience could also reflect themes and tropes that go beyond national borders and are truly universal.

 Living with the Times: "Gaksital" and the Grey Areas of Racism and Imperialism (Crossover with Memorializing History)

 Faith Like Children: Inspirational Innocents in Korean Dramas 

Hallyu's Modern Oedipus: "Alice" and the Tragedy of the Self-Fulling Prophecy (Crossover with The Stories We Tell)
  
Memorializing History

 How do people talk about historical events and issues? How do we make them relevant to our 21st century lives? This series looks at representations of history in places like museums, galleries, historical sites, and popular culture. 

 The Evidence Room: Making Visible the Unimaginable  

 Living with the Times: "Gaksital" and the Grey Areas of Racism and Imperialism (Crossover with Hallyu for Our World)







The Stories We Tell

Throughout history, people have told stories, some of which continue today as myths, legends and fairy tales. Why have these stories in particular stood the test of time? This series looks at the lessons that the mythology of our ancestors can still impart to us today.

Québec's Beauty in Stillness (Part 2): A Complicated Legacy in Montréal

Image
I didn't expect this when I first started to revive this blog after a years-long hiatus, but this Québec-themed installment of "Beauty in Stillness" is shaping up to be quite a different beast from the earlier version I did about Seoul. Maybe it's because I'm Canadian; maybe it's because, due to circumstances entirely beyond my control, real life has been bringing big issues that I might not otherwise have touched upon into sharp relief ; but the point is that no, this is not just a travelogue anymore. Last time, when my focus was on Vieux-Québec , I decided to take the Little Big Things concept to discuss how the historic sites there could both promote and challenge the concept of "great man history". This time, in Montréal, I want to focus on a different question: what to make of the history of Canada's fur trade? See, where Québec City was the political and military centre for a good chunk of Canada's early colonial history, Montréal was...

From Sea to Sea; From Coast to Coast to Coast (Canada Day 2021)

Image
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea. This line, from the King James Version of Psalm 72, forms the basis for Canada's national motto: a mari usque ad mare  (from sea to sea). It's a reference to the country's vast geographic range, from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west; recent iterations of the concept have even made it three-way by including the Arctic Ocean in the north as well: "from coast to coast to coast". (The farthest east and west I have ever been in Canada: Halifax, Nova Scotia on the Atlantic, and Victoria, British Columbia on the Pacific) Looking back through the archives, I notice that my first post on this blog was on Canada Day 2017; now, during this revival of the blog four years later, I've come back around full circle to Canada Day 2021. Or, have I? The truth of the matter is that this year's Canada Day will not be like any other Canada Day many of us have seen. No-one planned for the recent grim dis...

Living with the Times: "Gaksital" and the Grey Areas of Racism and Imperialism

Image
Every nation needs its heroes; real or fictional, we remember the stories of those who have risen above the odds to achieve the greater good and fight back against evil and oppression. Given this, it is easy to see why, at the time of its airing on KBS2 in 2012, the South Korean drama Gaksital was an instant hit with the home audience, achieving high ratings and being nominated for a slew of acting and directorial rewards before gaining government recognition as the Drama of the Year.  Based on the 1970s manhwa [comic] of the same name by Heo Young Man, Gaksital is a classic underdog story set in the 1930s, in the thick of the Imperial Japanese occupation of the Korean peninsula. Both the manhwa and its television adaptation tell the tale of Lee Kang To, who lives a double life as Sato Hiroshi - a Korean collaborator with the Japanese police force tasked with crushing the burgeoning independence movement - and the titular Gaksital - a masked vigilante and freedom figh...
