Book Synopsis The Life and Works of Korean Poet Kim Myŏng-sun by : Jung Ja Choi
Download or read book The Life and Works of Korean Poet Kim Myŏng-sun written by Jung Ja Choi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life and Works of Korean Poet Kim Myŏng-sun offers an introduction to Korea’s first modern woman writer to publish a collection of creative works, Kim Myŏng-sun (1896–ca. 1954). Despite attempts by male contemporaries to assassinate her character, Kim was an outspoken writer and an early feminist, confronting patriarchal Korean society in essays, plays, poems, and short stories. This volume is the first to offer a detailed analysis in English of Kim’s poetry. The poems examined in this volume can be considered early twentieth-century versions of #MeToo literature, mirroring the harrowing account of her sexual assault, and also subversive challenges to traditional institutions, dealing with themes such as romantic free love, same-sex love, single womanhood, and explicit female desire and passion. The Life and Works of Korean Poet Kim Myŏng-sun restores a long-neglected woman writer to her rightful place in the history of Korean literature, shedding light on the complexity of women’s lives in Korea and contributing to the growing interest in modern Korean women’s literature in the West.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History by : Bonnie G. Smith
Download or read book The Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History written by Bonnie G. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 2710 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Women in World History captures the experiences of women throughout world history in a comprehensive, 4-volume work. Although there has been extensive research on women in history by region, no text or reference work has comprehensively covered the role women have played throughout world history. The past thirty years have seen an explosion of research and effort to present the experiences and contributions of women not only in the Western world but across the globe. Historians have investigated womens daily lives in virtually every region and have researched the leadership roles women have filled across time and region. They have found and demonstrated that there is virtually no historical, social, or demographic change in which women have not been involved and by which their lives have not been affected. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History benefits greatly from these efforts and experiences, and illuminates how women worldwide have influenced and been influenced by these historical, social, and demographic changes. The Encyclopedia contains over 1,250 signed articles arranged in an A-Z format for ease of use. The entries cover six main areas: biographies; geography and history; comparative culture and society, including adoption, abortion, performing arts; organizations and movements, such as the Egyptian Uprising, and the Paris Commune; womens and gender studies; and topics in world history that include slave trade, globalization, and disease. With its rich and insightful entries by leading scholars and experts, this reference work is sure to be a valued, go-to resource for scholars, college and high school students, and general readers alike.

Download or read book Poems from Korea written by Peter H. Lee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-21 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Koreans, according to the Chinese chronicles, are ‘the people who enjoy singing and dancing’ and who regaled their gods with dance and song. Since then poetry has been an essential part of Korean life and has been regarded as the highest of the arts. In this first comprehensive anthology of Korean poetry in English, first published in 1974, Peter Lee has selected and translated a wide variety of poems ranging from the Silla Dynasty in 57 BC to the middle of the twentieth century. The poems chosen reflect not only the native Korean tradition, but also the great tradition of Chinese poetry. They often possess a deep lyrical quality, many are rich in religious overtones or derive their beauty from contemplation of nature and through many of the poems runs the feeling of the closeness of Korean life to the earth.

Download or read book Gisaeng written by Masha Alexandra van der Heijde and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existence of Korean courtesans remains mostly unknown in the western world, while much has been written about Chinese and Japanese female entertainers. This is partly because the official histories of Korea themselves remain quiet; even up to this day many formal histories of Korea describe little or nothing about them. Also, the Japanese colonial period (1910-1945) resulted in a negative image for these women and their profession. It is a sad fact that, as Japan's military presence on the peninsula became overwhelming, the Korean courtesans were among the first to be pushed into the role of "comfort women" for the Japanese armies.Ironically, it was under Korean and Chinese influence that the Japanese developed their own specific courtesan culture. While in China the courtesan culture was firmly established in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and in Korea in the Koryo Dynasty (918-1392), the first Japanese pleasure quarter opened in 1589. This culture reached its height during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Japan, where it eventually developed into the geisha - most well known in the western world today. The Korean courtesan culture was just as marvelous as her Chinese and Japanese counterparts, and in the high days of their culture these women were admired and saluted. Indeed several famous courtesans are still remembered and celebrated today in both South and North Korea in stories, novels, performances and cinema. This book is intended to give insight into the illustrious courtesan culture of Korea.
