Book excerpt: "In this lavishly illustrated book, historian Bruce Cumings introduces South Korea's rich history and establishes a context for 240 remarkable images by Magnum photographers that present Korea as it is today. Korea is a country of wonderful contrasts, at once a showplace of the modern and a land of beautiful mountains, coastlines, and ancient buildings. A major global industrial power, Korea is an economic powerhouse, moving confidently in such markets as food production, clothing, automobiles, and especially in science and technology. It is home to a vibrant, hard working people whose dynamic culture reflects its wealth of history and contemporary influences." "Here some of the world's greatest photographers capture both the beautiful and the commonplace, offering a close look at a country that is little known to many. This book is the next best thing to a personal visit, and a welcome visual return for those living abroad."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: With over 500 stunning photographs, this design book reveals the relatively unknown, unique aesthetics of Korea. Korea Style reveals the central elements of Korean design: simplicity, moderation, constraint, and a deep respect for all things natural. Despite the filtering of Japanese and Western design ideas into Korea over the millennia, the peninsula has maintained its own identity and is gaining recognition for its own particular "style." Spatial, spiritual and material qualities are reflected in the pure beauty of its architectural design, while classic objects that immediately distinguish themselves as being uniquely Korean are used with distinctive flair in interior design and decoration. Korea Style is the first book devoted to the country's architecture and interior design--featuring twenty-two exceptional homes, studios, and public and heritage buildings. They range from vernacular to cutting-edge creations and are a celebration of Korea's culture, natural landscape, arts and crafts, and architectural history juxtaposed with a drive towards invention, experimentation and individuality.

Download or read book Inside North Korea written by Mark Edward Harris and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2012-03-02 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All but closed to outside visitors and influence, its public posture guarded and combative, we see almost nothing from inside North Korea. Award-winning photographer Mark Edward Harris has had rare access to this reclusive country, traveling within its borders as well as documenting life along its northern border with China and the highly militarized DMZ dividing North and South Korea. His images are amazing: the monumental architecture and empty streets of the capital; tightly controlled zones of economic and tourist trade with South Korea; mass games featuring 100,000 choreographed participants. Short essays, extended captions, and a foreword by North Korea expert Bruce Cumings further illuminate a country increasingly at the center of international politics.

Download or read book Pictorial Memoir: Korea Fifty Years Ago written by Martina Deuchler and published by Seoul Selection . This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book North Korea: Like Nowhere Else written by Lindsey Miller and published by September Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first photographic exploration of North Korea, from a Westerner who lived in Pyongyang and explored the country beyond for nearly two years. What happens when you travel to a place where even basic truths are ambiguous? Where sometimes you can't trust your own eyes or feelings? Where the divide between real and imagined is never clear? For two years, Lindsey Miller lived in North Korea, long regarded as one of the most closed societies on earth. As one of Pyongyang's small community of resident foreigners, Lindsey was granted remarkable freedoms to experience the country without government minders. She had a front row seat as North Korea shot into the headlines during an unprecedented period of military tension with the US and the subsequent historic Singapore Summit. However, it was the connection with individuals and their families, and the day-to-day reality of control and repression, that delivered the real revelations of North Korean life, and which left Lindsey utterly changed from the woman who had nervously disembarked from her plane onto an empty runway just two years before. This is her extraordinary photographic account, a testament to the hidden humanity of North Korea. 'There was much of the North Koreans and their way of life that I liked and admired, and Lindsey Miller's book brought back those positive feelings. And if we don't acknowledge those we will never begin to understand the country.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mount Geumgang, also known as the Diamond Mountains, is perhaps the most famous and emotionally resonant site on the Korean Peninsula, a magnificent range of rocky peaks, waterfalls, and lagoons, dotted with pavilions and temples. Since ancient times, it has inspired cultural pride, spurred spiritual and artistic pilgrimages, and engendered an outpouring of creative expression. Yet since the partition of Korea in 1945 situated it in the North, Mount Geumgang has remained largely inaccessible to visitors, shrouded in legend, loss, and longing. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana} Diamond Mountains: Travel and Nostalgia in Korean Art is the first book in English to explore the pictorial representations of this grand and varied landscape. The special exhibition it accompanies, organized by Soyoung Lee, Curator in the Department of Asian Art, examines the evolution of Diamond Mountains imagery from the golden age of Korean true-view painting in the eighteenth century to the present day. Even today, when a profusion of Instagram photos can make the world’s most obscure sites and geographical oddities seem familiar, the Diamond Mountains portrayed here in album leaves, scrolls, and screens will be a revelation to many.

Download or read book Brief Encounters written by Brother Anthony of Taizé and published by Seoul Selection . This book was released on 2016-12-02 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology is a compilation of Westerners’ accounts of their visits to Korea, originally published in books or newspapers before the country opened its doors in the late nineteenth century. The opening of Korea made it possible to explore the country in detail and write detailed accounts. Prior impressions were garnered mostly from brief visits to remote islands along the coast. The accounts published here are mainly anecdotal, and contain many generalizations. However, the accumulated impressions of these early encounters surely influenced the perspectives of later travelers, and help explain the overwhelmingly negative image of Korea that Western governments harbored at the time. The book can serve as a useful resource for studying Korea’s early interactions with the outside world, and will give readers an idea of the criteria by which Westerners judged the foreign “other.”

Each situation/topic-based lesson of the main texts consists of two or three model dialogues, narration, new words and expressions, pronunciation notes, vocabulary notes, culture, grammar, task/function, and English translation of dialogues. The workbooks provide students with extensive skill-using activities based on the skills learned from the main texts.
