Abstract

Notions of people, place, and culture have been central to anthropological studies, and have reflected several critical changes the discipline has experienced. Two of the most salient changes are: the awareness of multivocality in cultures, and the recognition of the negotiated and contested nature of people, place, and culture. Using an ethnographic example from Insa-Dong in Seoul, Korea, a socio-historical construction of a place is examined. The relationship among people, place, and culture is not a neat juxtaposition with predetermined and clear-cut boundaries, but a constantly changing, and politically challenged one. It is, therefore, highly necessary to incorporate the dynamic aspects of this relationship in the use of anthropological studies in area studies.
