Thirty years ago, anthropologist Laurel Kendall did intensive fieldwork among South Korea's (mostly female) shamans and their clients as a reflection of village women's lives.

Under Construction: The Gendering of Modernity, Class, and Consumption in the Republic of Korea
ISBN: 9780824824075 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since the late 1960s, the lives of south Koreans have been reconstructed on the shifting ground of urbanization, industrialization, military authoritarianism, democratic reform, and social liberalization. Class and gender identities have been modified in relation to a changing modernity and new definitions of home and family, work and leisure, husband and wife. Under Construction provides an illuminating portrait of south Koreans in the 1990s--a decade that saw a return to civilian rule, a loosening of censorship and social control, and the emergence of a full-blown consumer...

Getting Married in Korea: Of Gender, Morality, and Modernity
ISBN: 9780520202009 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 269 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This work explores what it means to be modern and what it means to be Korean in a culture where courtship and marriage are often the crucible in which notions of gender and class are cast and recast. Touching on a number of important issues--identity, romantic love, women's work, marriage negotiations, and wedding ceremonies--Laurel Kendall gives us a new appreciation for how Koreans have adapted this pivotal social practice to the astounding changes of the past century. Kendall attended her first Korean wedding in 1970, soon after she arrived in the country with the Peace Corps. Years...

God Pictures in Korean Contexts: The Ownership and Meaning of Shaman Paintings
ISBN: 9780824847630 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Shamans walking on knives, fairies riding on clouds, kings with dragon mounts: They are gods and they are paper images. Some are repulsed and unsettled by shaman paintings, some cannot stop collecting them, and some use them as sites of veneration. Laurel Kendall, Jongsung Yang, and Yul Soo Yoon explore what it is that makes a Korean shaman painting magical or sacred. How does a picture carry the trace of a god and can it ever be "just a painting" again? How have shaman paintings been revalued as art? Do artfulness and magic ever intersect? Does it matter, as a matter of market value, that... Shamans walking on knives, fairies riding on clouds, kings with dragon mounts: They are gods and they are paper images.
