Naming the Local: Medicine, Language, and Identity in Korea Since the Fifteenth Century
ISBN: 9780674976962 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Naming the Local uncovers how Koreans domesticated foreign medical novelties on their own terms, while simultaneously modifying the Korea-specific expressions of illness and wellness to make them accessible to the wider network of scholars and audiences. Due to Korea's geopolitical position and the intrinsic tension of medicine's efforts to balance the local and the universal, Soyung Suh argues that Koreans' attempts to officially document indigenous categories in a particular linguistic form required constant negotiation of their own conceptual boundaries against the Chinese,...

The Capitalist Unconscious: From Korean Unification to Transnational Korea
ISBN: 9780231171939 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The unification of North and South Korea is widely considered an unresolved and volatile matter for the global order, but this book argues capital has already unified Korea in a transnational form. As Hyun Ok Park demonstrates, rather than territorial integration and family union, the capitalist unconscious drives the current unification, imagining the capitalist integration of the Korean peninsula and the Korean diaspora as a new democratic moment.
Based on extensive archival and ethnographic research in South Korea and China, The Capitalist Unconscious shows how the hegemonic... The unification of North and South Korea is widely considered an unresolved and volatile matter for the global order, but this book argues capital has...

Korean Religions in Relation: Buddhism, Confucianism, Christianity
ISBN: 9781438462769 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Instead of simply being another survey of the three dominant religions in contemporary Korea--Buddhism, Confucianism, and Christianity--this unique book studies them in relation to each other in terms of assimilation, accommodation, conflict, and exclusion. The contributors focus on major issues that have historically challenged the relations between the three religions from the Goryeo period to the present and how each religion has responded to them. The essays bring a new perspective to the study of Korean religions, one that is especially pertinent in the current age of religious pluralism...

ISBN: 9780824872632 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. North Korea is firmly fixed in the Western imagination as a ""rogue"" nation that refuses to abide by international norms.

Immanuel Kim's book confronts these stereotypes, offering a more complex portrayal.
