Description

Industrielles Wachstum und die Entwicklung der neuen Mittelschicht in Sudkorea in den 1980ern wurden von Mehrkonsum und intensiver Freizeitkultur begleitet, die ein erhohtes Interesse an Gesundheit und Selbstkultivierung erweckten. Songin undong (Sport fur Erwachsene), Bergwandern und ki suryon wurden beliebter. Altere Generationen durchlebten die dramatische Transformation Koreas von einer landlichen in eine industrielle Gesellschaft. Ihre Sehnsucht nach der Vergangenheit, die idealisiert und neu erdacht wurde, ist mit der Idee der Unsterblichkeit aus der alten Bergkultur Koreas verbunden. Ki suryon ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil spirituell gesellschaftlicher Phanomene. Die Autorin unterrichtet GiCheon, eine der Disziplinen ki suryons. English Summary Industrial growth and the emergence of the new middle class in South Korea in the 1980s were accompanied by increased consumption and an intense recreational culture that sparked an increased interest in health and self-cultivation. Songin undong (adult sports), mountain hiking and ki suryon became more popular. Older generations lived through Korea's dramatic transformation from a rural to an industrial society. Nostalgia for the past, idealized and reimagined, is linked to the idea of immortality from Korea's ancient mountain culture. Ki suryon is an important part of spiritual social phenomena. The author teaches GiCheon, one of the disciplines of ki suryon.
