The question at the heart of the book is what might an education
with self-care and care-for-others look like? Juxtaposing
self-understanding through the method of currere and the historical
character of hakbeolism (a concept indigenous to Korea referring to
a kind of social status people achieve based on a shared academic
background), this book articulates how subjective reconstruction of
self in conjunction with historical study can be transformative,
and how this can be extended to social change. Articulating how
having one's own standard can be a way of making one's life a work
of art, the author looks at how Korean schooling exercises coercive
care, disconfirmation, and the "whip of love" for the children's
own good. Emphasis is given to the internalized status of these
practices in both students and teachers and to teachers' and
parents' culpability not only in exercising but also in reproducing
these practices through themselves. Going beyond describing and
analysing the educational problem of academic (intellectual)
achievement-oriented education based on aggressive competition,
this book suggests ways to address these issues through
autobiography (using the method of currere to reconstruct one's
subjectivity) and an ethic of care.
