Abstract

This paper, with a critical engagement with recently emerging discourses on territory education emphasizing the need to educate the issues of territorial identities and sovereignty to students, urges that a total re-formulation of geography education ― instead of expanding territory education ― is needed in order to make a meaningful contribution to the efforts to resolve the current territorial conflicts, and develop more peaceful relations, among neighboring countries in East Asia. In particular, it points out that the existing territory education perspective ― due to its nationalist orientation and its theoretical reliance on the organic conception of territory and the essentialist notion of place ― is more likely to aggravate the territorial conflicts in East Asia. With growing concerns on the nationalist territory education, there have been recent efforts to develop alternative perspectives on territory education by emphasizing the notion of civic nationalism, education for critical literacy, and development of transnational citizenship. This paper, however, highlights that these efforts are still limited in overcoming the logics of territorial exclusiveness and thus not fully useful in developing a peaceful East Asia, as long as they are made under the name of territory education, and suggests to get rid of the frame of territory education. With this problem orientation, I argue that we need to make an effort to completely re-formulate the curriculum of geography education ― instead of wasting our time and energy for territorial education ― if we want to develop an educational curriculum that can make a genuine contribution to the East Asian peace. More specifically, I suggest that 1) the developers of geography education curriculum needs to make more aggressive efforts to incorporate the relational conception of place into the contents of geography education, and 2) research and education on ‘East Asian Geography’ need to be much more strengthened in order to overcome the ‘territorial trap’ and ‘methodological nationalism’ inherent in the existing curriculum of geography education, which has been organized on the basis of two pillars of ‘Korean Geography’ and ‘World Geography’.
