I suspect that the wet hair is a side-effect of needing a head shot that was oriented differently, that they wanted to shift Stone&#8217;s gaze away from the viewer, make her less &#8230;. well, here&#8217;s where my complete lack of exposure to Korean media becomes a liability. Either they want her to be less aggressive (which doesn&#8217;t entirely make sense, given the movie) or more aloof. <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/quodshe.blogspot.com\/2008\/03\/publications-and-visibility.html\">Dr. Virago<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/reassignedtime.blogspot.com\/2008\/03\/on-placement-of-scholarship.html\">Dr. Crazy<\/a> (Dr. Crazy&#8217;s analogy to Star Trek\/Lost In Space\/Heroes is worth the price of admission) among others, are having an interesting discussion about how scholars achieve &#8220;visibility&#8221; and &#8220;impact&#8221; both within their subfields and in the discipline. Their discussion doesn&#8217;t directly touch Asian Studies, but it does have some thought-provoking ideas for both young and feeling-marginalized scholars.<\/li>\n<li>I just got my <a href=\"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/jjs\/341.htm\">current <i>Journal of Japanese Studies<\/i><\/a> in the mail, and two of the three articles are about Korea: one about the development of the Korean Civil Code under Japanese protectorate and the other about middle-class Koreans in 1930s Japan. The latter is by an old grad school friend, <a href=\"http:\/\/internet2.trincoll.edu\/facProfiles\/Default.aspx?fid=1235284\">Jeff Bayliss<\/a>, who&#8217;s teaching a course combining <a href=\"http:\/\/internet2.trincoll.edu\/pTools\/CourseInfo.aspx?subj=HIST&#038;catnbr=451&#038;instrid=1235284\">Korean and Japanese history<\/a> which is exactly the kind of thing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.froginawell.net\/korea\/2005\/11\/self-introduction-jonathan-dresner\/\">I&#8217;ve been thinking about<\/a> for a long time.
