Download or read book Beyond Line written by Stephen Little and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning two millennia and including nearly 150 works of art, this elegant book traces the history of Korean calligraphy from the first century to the present. Offering an extraordinary window into Korean culture, this magnificent volume brings a multidisciplinary approach to the history of Korean writing--from the earliest texts from the Three Kingdoms period to its use in contemporary art. Beyond Line discusses the social and cultural conditions that led to the creation of calligraphic works by a wide range of people, including kings, queens, officials, scholars, painters, monks, and even slaves. It also explores the variety of materials employed in the creation of the art--from paper, ink, and bamboo to ceramics, silk, and metal. In addition, it looks at how calligraphy was used both to maintain Korea's historical class structure and, as literacy spread, to incite social change for women, merchants, and other segments of society. The authors explore how the invention of the hangeul phonetic script led to a more global identity for Korea, and how this script continues to shape contemporary art and design. Beyond Line illuminates the restrained beauty, strength, and flexibility of Korean calligraphy. Copublished by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and DelMonico Books

Download or read book Introduction to Korea written by Gilad James, PhD and published by Gilad James Mystery School. This book was released on with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Korea is a fascinating country located in East Asia, divided into two distinct regions: North Korea and South Korea. Korea has a long and complex history, with its civilization starting around 1392 when the Joseon Dynasty was founded. For several centuries, Korea's strategic location has made it the sight of several invasions and colonization attempts, including Japan's colonial rule over Korea from 1910 to 1945. The Korean War, which took place from 1950 to 1953, also impacted the Korean people, resulting in separation of North and South Korea. Despite a challenging past and political differences, South Korea has become a significant economic powerhouse and an entertainment hub, while North Korea remains a secretive and repressive state. South Korea, also known as the Republic of Korea (ROK), is a dynamic and modern country that is home to numerous corporations, including Samsung and LG. South Korea has undergone significant economic growth, and it has become one of the world's leading economies. Yet despite its economic success, South Korea is also home to some of the most unique cultures, including distinctive cuisine, traditional music, and festivals. South Korea is also famous for its entertainment industry, including music (K-pop), television dramas (K-dramas), and movies. North Korea is an enigma, rarely seen or heard about beyond government propaganda. It is led by the Kim dynasty and maintains strict control over its citizens. Over the years, North Korea has become famous for its nuclear program and human rights abuses, making it a topic of international concern. Despite their differences, both North and South Korea have an intricate and fascinating history and culture that continues to captivate the world.

Download or read book Kinship Novels of Early Modern Korea written by Ksenia Chizhova and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lineage novel flourished in Korea from the late seventeenth to the early twentieth century. These vast works unfold genealogically, tracing the lives of several generations. New storylines, often written by different authors, follow the lives of the descendants of the original protagonists, offering encyclopedic accounts of domestic life cycles and relationships. Elite women transcribed these texts—which span tens and even hundreds of volumes—in exquisite vernacular calligraphy and transmitted them through generations in their families. In Kinship Novels of Early Modern Korea, Ksenia Chizhova foregrounds lineage novels and the domestic world in which they were read to recast the social transformations of Chosŏn Korea and the development of early modern Korean literature. She demonstrates women’s centrality to the creation of elite vernacular Korean practices and argues that domestic-focused genres such as lineage novels, commemorative texts, and family tales shed light on the emergence and perpetuation of patrilineal kinship structures. The proliferation of kinship narratives in the Chosŏn period illuminates the changing affective contours of familial bonds and how the domestic space functioned as a site of their everyday experience. Drawing on an archive of women-centered elite vernacular texts, Chizhova uncovers the structures of feelings and conceptions of selfhood beneath official genealogies and legal statutes, revealing that kinship is as much a textual as a social practice. Shedding new light on Korean literary history and questions of Korea’s modernity, this book also offers a broader lens on the global rise of the novel.
