Editors' Note

Abstract

We the editors of Korean Anthropology Review: A journal of Korean anthropology in translation (KAR) are presenting our fourth volume. This time we have selected articles that focus on space and place as anthropological problems. Anthropologists have long recognized space and place as objects of, and participants in, cultural meaning construction, and this volumes contributors explore how spatial phenomena are constructed and contested. The fourth volume also expands the geographical scope of our journal by including pieces that deal not only with South Korea but also present research conducted in another locale, Japan. Our goal is to showcase the geographical diversity of South Korean anthropologists interests, and we intend to continue translating articles that look beyond Korea for future volumes.
