Pictorial Memoir contains a small selection from over three thousand photographs Martina Deuchler took when she lived in Korea for a couple of years in the late 1960s and early 1970s. These pictures record her early impressions of Korea, a country that was practically unknown in the West at that time. 세계적인 한국학 권위자 마르티나 도이힐러 교수의 한국 회상록 생생하게 재현된 50년 전 한국의 전통 의례와 풍습, 그리고 사람들 인류학적 관점으로 한국과의 첫 만남을 추억하는 사진 에세이 스위스인 며느리의 추억 속에서 빛나는 50년 전 한국의 의례, 풍습, 민간신앙 서울 시내 중심부에서는 짚신을 신은 소가 달구지를 끌고 있었고, 추운 겨울 충북의 한 시골 마을에서는 동제 준비가 한창이었다. 50년 전, 한국에 막 도착한 이방인에게 이런 이국의 풍경은 분명 낯설고 신기한 경험이었을 것이다. 역사학자이자 외국인 며느리의 신분으로 ‘그때 그 한국’을 방문한 저자는 그 풍경들을 놓칠세라 재빨리 카메라 셔터를 눌러 커다란 추억의 저장고를 만들었다. 거기에는 삼실 잣는 할머니, 양주산대놀이, 정교한 장례 행렬, 안택고사, 작두를 타는 만신 등 이제는 우리에게도 빛바랜 역사가 돼버린 한국의 전통 의례와 풍습이 생생하게 담겨 있다. 저자는 남편의 나라를 향한 애정과 학자적 날카로움으로 그 순간들을 통찰한다. 이 책은 그의 추억에서 길어 올린 사진들로 담담하게 풀어 쓴 회상록이자, 50년 전 한국의 풍속을 진정성 있게 기록한 한 편의 민속지이다. 세계적인 한국학 권위자가 찍고 쓴, 독특하고 정감 어린 인류학 사진 에세이 저자 마르티나 도이힐러 교수는 하버드대에서 19세기 말 한국 외교사에 관한 논문으로 박사학위를 받고, 런던대 아시아·아프리카 대학(SOAS) 교수를 지내며 한국사를 강의한 한국학 권위자이다. 이 책은 그의 개인적 경험을 바탕으로 하지만, 수록된 사진과 기록은 개인의 차원을 뛰어넘는다. 한국 사람에게도 낯선 50년 전 한국의 모습은 그 자체로 역사적 차원의 가치가 있다. 특히 이문동의 만신, 50년 전 제주도와 울릉도, 동제의 모든 순서를 기록한 사진은 오늘날 쉽게 찾아볼 수 없는 희귀본으로 자료적 가치가 크다. 저자는 또한 그가 포착한 순간들에 대해 단순한 감상뿐 아니라 인류학적 관점의 후기를 제공함으로써, 그 시절을 살았던 사람들을 새롭게 발견하는 계기를 마련하고 있다. 이 책은 정감 어린 시선으로 50년 전 한국을 바라보며 우리의 과거를 추억하는 독창적인 사진집이다. 추억 속에서 길어 올린, 생생하고 이채로운 전통 한국의 순간들 이 사진집에는 유교적 가례와 한국의 전통 유학에 관한 저자의 관심이 깃들어 있다. 여성이라 제례에 참여할 수는 없었지만, 저자는 그 광경을 충실히 관찰하며 예복을 차려입은 제관들이 제례를 봉행하는 모습을 기록으로 남겼다. 조상의 위패를 모신 사당, 전통 차례와 같은 장면도 놓치지 않았다. 이 책에는 전통 풍속과 민간 신앙에 관한 자료들도 생생하게 수록되어 있는데, 깊은 밤 봉사할매가 북을 치며 부엌에서 안택고사를 시작하는 순간이나 공수(신의 말씀)를 내리는 만신의 모습 등 이채로운 장면이 많다. 지금은 찾아볼 수 없는 너와집이 애처롭게 자리 잡은 울릉도의 모습도 이 책의 독특함을 더해 준다.

While popular trends, cuisine, and long-standing political tension have made Korea familiar in some ways to a vast English-speaking world, its recorded history of some two millennia remains unfamiliar to most. Korea: A History addresses general readers, providing an up-to-date, accessible overview of Korean history from antiquity to the present. Eugene Y. Park draws on original-language sources and the up-to-date synthesis of East Asian and Western-language scholarship to provide an insightful account. This book expands still-limited English-language discussions on pre-modern Korea, offering rigorous and compelling analyses of Korea's modernization while discussing daily life, ethnic minorities, LGBTQ history, and North Korean history not always included in Korea surveys. Overall, Park is able to break new ground on questions and debates that have been central to the field of Korean studies since its inception.

Fashion and Feeling: The Affective Politics of Dress explores the complex nexus of fashion and the feeling body from a variety of critical perspectives across fashion studies, anthropology, sociology, design practice, and media studies. It asks such questions as: What does fashion look and feel like in an age dominated by amplified anxiety, isolation, depression, and precariousness? How are feelings woven into clothing and mobilized through fashion practices in ways that might sustain living with a sense of ongoing crisis? Does fashion have the potential to help us reimagine new lifeworlds which might be reinvigorating? In other words, how is fashion engaging with the “bad,” the “good,” and the ambivalent feelings associated with our personal and collective histories, with our troubled political present, and with our imagined future? Despite such diverse and scattered contributions, the potentialities of “feeling” for the study of fashion are still largely neglected. This edited volume seeks to tease out possible avenues of investigation of the clothed body and its representations through the lens of feeling.

It was 1937 when Joseph Donohue first met Frank Milisits in grammar school. As they grew up together on the Upper East Side of New York City, the two boys kept scrapbooks on World War II, became junior aid-raid wardens, and attended block parties for returning veterans. But little did Joseph and Frank know that their fascination with war would eventually lead them one day to fight in a hostile climate thousands of miles away. In his Korean War memoir, Joseph Donohue chronicles the captivating story of how two naive twenty-year-old kids made a full-circle journey from draftees to basic training recruits to airborne troopers who somehow summoned the courage to jump out of the first planet they ever set foot in. As the young men arrived in Korea during a time of uncertainty and chaos, Donohue details how the two men quickly moved from days of complete boredom to hair-raising moments as the crawled in the rat-infested trenches, dodged booby traps and minefields, and risked their lives to keep hordes of enemy soldiers at bay. One year later, they returned home as combat veterans who has somehow survived terrifying battles and a one-in-nine chance of becoming a war casualty. Frank and Me at Mundung-ni provided an eye-opening glimpse into the realities of The Forgotten War and the compelling personal memories of two childhood pals who shared an impassioned journey to a war neither would ever forget.

In early November 1952, 2nd Lt. Ron Freedman, along with 900 members of his battalion, boarded a military transport ship—destination … South Korea. While onboard, Ron was given fifty Christmas cards and told to write home. He couldn't remember if he had fifty friends, but he did remember Nancy “Pete” Smith, a girl he'd once dated in Boston. Their correspondence continued throughout one of the most turbulent years of the Korean War - 1953. In May 1953, not long after the first battle of Pork Chop Hill, Lt. Freedman transferred to the 7th Infantry Division as a Forward Observer, 48th Field Artillery Battalion. His service earned him the Silver Star … and a Purple Heart. Many have written about the Korean War, and the two desperate battles of Pork Chop Hill in particular. Love Letters to Pete tells the personal story of one soldier who took part in the 2nd Battle for Pork Chop Hill. But the letters he wrote to future wife Nancy “Pete” Smith don't tell all of the story. Now, 60 years later, Ron gives details of actions not told in those letters. Together the comments and letters in Love Letters to Pete give a complete picture of life at war—the boredom, endless training, friendships, battles, and an almost casual heroism, as told by one who lived it to the one he loved.

Hyung K. Shin was sixteen years old when the North Korean army invaded South Korea in June 1950. Fleeing his home, Shin soon found himself alone in Pusan, a refugee without resources or any means of support. To save himself from destitution, he lied about his age and volunteered for service in the South Korean army. Shin’s account of the months that followed is a moving record of the Korean War from the perspective of an ordinary ROK soldier. He recounts his hasty training and subsequent experiences as a battlefield soldier in North Korea, as a guard in a prisoner-of-war camp, and as a refugee again in the massive flight of civilians and ROK military personnel retreating before the onslaught of the Chinese invasion. Through it all, Shin struggles to retain his humanity and pursue his education. In the process, the naïve schoolboy becomes a man. Today, Hyung K. Shin is an internationally respected chemist, but in the pages of this memoir he carries us back to Korea during a pivotal moment in that country’s history. This is the first account in English that describes the war from the perspective of a Korean who lived through and fought in it. Shin’s detailed and lively narrative is a stirring monument to the survival of human decency and kindness in the midst of terror, cruelty, despair, and the destruction of a proud nation.

"Investigating the late sixteenth through the nineteenth century, this work looks at the shifting boundaries between the Chosŏn state and the adherents of Confucianism, Buddhism, Christianity, and popular religions. Seeking to define the meaning and constitutive elements of the hegemonic group and a particular marginalized community in this Confucian state, the contributors argue that the power of each group and the space it occupied were determined by a dynamic interaction of ideology, governmental policies, and the group’s self-perceptions. Collectively, the volume counters the static view of the Korean Confucian state, elucidates its relationship to the wider Confucian community and religious groups, and suggests new views of the complex way in which each negotiated and adjusted its ideology and practices in response to the state’s activities."
