Dr Loli Kim is a British multimodal semanticist, pragmatist, semiotician within the field of Asian scholarship. She is currently based at the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Oxford, and holds the position of Postdoctoral Researcher on the Leverhulme Grant 'Sea, Song, and Survival: The Language and Folklore of the Haenyeo'. In 2023, Kim won the Hendrick Hamel prize with Jieun Kiaer on their co-authored monograph 'Understanding Korean Film: A Cross-Cultural Perspective.[1][2]

Kim's Scholarship

Korean Segmented Film Discourse Theory, Socio-Pragmatic Primitives, and Asian Representation

Loli at BreMM19 conference proceedings in Bremen, Germany.
Dr Loli Kim is an alumni of Hertford College at the University of Oxford.

Kim's academic work focus on multimodal translation and Asian representation, [3][4] with a focus on the developed of formal semantic methodologies, [5][6][7] and their utilisation by researchers as a means of cross-cultural analysis and for the prevention of marginalisation in research undertaken in the humanities and social sciences.[8]

Kim is quoted stating, in an interview with reporter Sung-hwa Dong for Korean national newspaper the Korea Times, dated 16th February 2022, "If you do not have the linguistic or cultural knowledge needed to understand something, it is simply rendered invisible. I find this fascinating. It is an issue that has plagued translation studies, cultural studies, film studies, and yet little has been done to unravel this invisibility and bring about visibility. I was keen to be involved in research that does so."[9]

Protégé and common collaborator of Korean linguist Jieun Kiaer, the Young Bin-Min KF Professor of Korean Linguistics at the University of Oxford, Kim is currently conducting research with her long-time mentor as Postdoctoral Researcher on the language and folklore of the haenyo (해녀) 'sea women' (the Korean free divers of Jeju, South Korea) on the Leverhulme Trust Grant 'Sea, Song, and Survival: The Language and Folklore of the Haenyeo[10] at the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Oxford. Kim and Kiaer devised a system of "socio-pragmatic primitives" (common formulae for multimodal Korean expressions),[11] that can be used to interpret Korean multimodal communication. Kim then applied and developed the socio-pragmatic primitives within the framework of German multimodalist and linguist Dr Janina Wildfeuer, a dynamic semantic film discourse analysis methodology 'Segmented Film Discourse Representation Theory', which was developed from the 'Segmented Discourse Theory' of Asher and Lascarides.[12] Kim called this Korean theory of multimodal discourse 'Korean Segmented Film Discourse Representation Theory'[7][13][14]
