The sequence of the genres discussed is roughly chronological, and each chapter attempts to trace the birth and growth of the subject based upon both its outer and inner forms. Because of limited space and the intended use of the book, only those authors who contributed to the development of the genre under discussion are mentioned; hosts of minor writers are disregarded. This study attempts to be both factual and critical. Since conclusionson the Saenaennorae and changga are drawn solely from a small number of extant poems, chapters I and II list all Old and Middle Korean poems. Also, chapter X contains an unusually large number of authors because of the long history and bulk of existing writing in Chinese, a type of writing which enjoyedan un- broken popularity up till the end of the nineteenth century amongsome writers yet contributed iittle to the development of the Korean language. The history of Korean literary history is short.' It was only after 1945 that Korean literature began to be studied extensively by Koreans themselves. But the accumulated scholarship during the short span of these seventeenyears is amazingly vast. There are many controversial points, especiallyon Old Korean poetry, which have to be further studied and interpreted. Such topics as the drama and the p'ansori are yet to be explored. Every daynew evidence is un- earthed, and new theories advanced. A literary history of Korea byone author, which is at once comprehensive and authoritative over the entire field, is there- fore almost impossible. I have, however, tried to consult the most important studies on each subject. For the convenience of the reader who wishes topur- sue further the matters that interest him, I have appended, after each chapter, a select, bibliography of the most important books, articles, and translations which have appeared by 1963. The most useful bibliography is the Kukhak yOn'gu nonjO clz'ongnain (1960).2 and I ask the reader to turn to this book for further information. The reader is also referred to my Anthology of Korean Poetry from the Earliest Era to the Present (New York: John Day, 1964) which includes most of the poems disc:15.sed in this book.

The Saenaennorae The first notice of Korea appears in various Chinese chronicles:the Chu-shu chi-nien,' Um, Han shu,2 andWei chih.3 We are told of ninetribes in continual- strife for land and power from the Metal Age up to thebeginning of the Chris- tian Era. What strikes us forcibly, however, is not the pettysquabbling of these nine tribes, but their essential unity in language and culture,especially in their love of singing and dancing.The Chu-shu chi -nien andHou Han shu even tell us that Korean music was alreadyintroduced to the Hsiacourts approximately 2,000 years before Christ. Be that as it may, the PuyO,KoguryO, and Ye tribeswere termed by Chinese historians "the people whoenjoy singing and dancing." Itwas customary for the Puy0 tribe to offer a sacrifice to Heaven during the firstmoon, and on that occasion the people assembled together and drank and dancedfor several days in a festival called Majigut ("Welcoming the Drum"). TheKogury0 tribe was similar in language and customs to the PuyO. During thetenth moon, the offer- ing of sacrifice to Heavenwas made and there took placea major festival called &win:ilk ("Dawn").

  • Unexpected Nasal Consonants in Joseon-Era Korean Thomas

    Unexpected Nasal Consonants in Joseon-Era Korean Thomas

    Unexpected Nasal Consonants in Joseon-Era Korean Thomas Darnell 17 April 2020 The diminutive suffixes -ngaji and -ngsengi are unique in contemporary Korean in ​ ​ ​ ​ that they both begin with the velar nasal consonant (/ŋ/) and seem to be of Korean origin. Surprisingly, they seem to share no direct genetic affiliation. But by reverse-engineering sound change involving the morpheme-initial velar nasal in the Ulsan dialect, I prove that the historical form of -aengi was actually ​ ​ maximally -ng; thus the suffixes -ngaji and -ngsaengi are related if we consider ​ ​ ​ ​ them to be concatenations of this diminutive suffix -ng and the suffixes -aji and ​ ​ ​ ​ -sengi. This is supported by the existence of words with the -aji suffix in which the ​ ​ ​ initial velar nasal -ㅇ is absent and which have no semantic meaning of ​ ​ diminutiveness. 1. Introduction Korean is a language of contested linguistic origin spoken primarily on the Korean Peninsula in East Asia. There are approximately 77 million Korean speakers globally, though about 72 million of these speakers reside on the Korean peninsula (Eberhard et al.). Old Korean is the name given to the first attested stage of the Koreanic family, referring to the language spoken in the Silla kingdom, a small polity at the southeast end of the Korean peninsula. It is attested (at first quite sparsely) from the fifth century until the overthrow of the Silla state in the year 935 (Lee & Ramsey 2011: 48, 50, 55). Soon after that year, the geographic center of written Korean then moved to the capital of this conquering state, the Goryeo kingdom, located near present-day Seoul; this marks the beginning of Early Middle Korean (Lee & Ramsey: 50, 77).
  • Lovesickness” in Late Chos Ǒn Literature

    Lovesickness” in Late Chos Ǒn Literature

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reinterpreting “Lovesickness” in Late Chos ǒn Literature A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures by Janet Yoon-sun Lee 2014 © Copyright by Janet Yoon-sun Lee 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Reinterpreting “Lovesickness” in Late Chos ǒn Literature By Janet Yoon-sun Lee Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Peter H. Lee, Chair My dissertation concerns the development of the literary motif of “lovesickness” (sangsa py ǒng ) in late Chos ǒn narratives. More specifically, it examines the correlation between the expression of feelings and the corporeal symptoms of lovesickness as represented in Chos ǒn romance narratives and medical texts, respectively, of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. As the convergence of literary and medical discourse, lovesickness serves as a site to define both the psychological and physical experiences of love, implying the correlation between mind and body in the non-Western tradition. The analysis itself is re-categorized into the discussions of the feeling and the body. In the discussion of the feeling, it will be argued that the feeling of longing not only occupies an important position in literature, but also is gendered and structured in lyrics and narratives of the seventeenth century. In addressing the rubric of feelings of “longing,” this part seeks the ii theoretical grounds of how the intense experience of longing is converted to language of love and to bodily symptoms to constitute the knowledge of lovesickness. The second part concerns the representation of lovesick characters in Korean romance, particularly concerning the body politics of the Chos ŏn society.

    Development of a Reliable Performance Gas Generator of 75 Tonf-Class Liquid Rocket Engine for the Korea Space Launch Vehicle II

    DOI: 10.13009/EUCASS2019-521 8TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE FOR AERONAUTICS AND SPACE SCIENCES (EUCASS) Development of a Reliable Performance Gas Generator of 75 tonf-class Liquid Rocket Engine for the Korea Space Launch Vehicle II Byoungjik Lim*, Munki Kim*, Donghyuk Kang*, Hyeon-Jun Kim*, Jong-Gyu Kim*, and Hwan-Seok Choi* *Korea Aerospace Research Institute 169-84, Gwahak-ro, Yuseong-Gu Daejeon, 34133, South Korea [email protected] Abstract In this paper, development history and result of a reliable performance gas generator of 75 tonf-class liquid rocket engine is described. Based on the experience acquired from the 30 tonf-class gas generator development, the almost identical concept was adopted to 75 tonf-class gas generator such as a coaxial swirl injector and a regeneratively cooled combustion chamber. During the entire development process using the full-scale and subscale technological demonstration model and development model up to now, combustion tests of over 430 times and cumulative time of over 17 700 seconds have been carried out for a 75 tonf-class gas generate. Now the 75 tonf-class fuel-rich gas generator shows very reliable and reproducible characteristics throughout the entire lifetime including the flight test which was done with the test launch vehicle in November 2018. Thus, it can be said that the development of a 75 tonf-class fuel rich gas generator which will be used in Korea first independent space launch vehicle, KSLV-II was finished successfully. 1. Introduction As a leading institute for technology which is related with space launch vehicle and a national space development agency in the Republic of KOREA, the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) has been continuously researching and developing technology related to space launch vehicles since establishment in 1989.

    Modern Literature After the 1960S in Korea 25 DOI: 10.1515/Ijas-2016-0002

    DE SANGGUM LI. Modern literature after the 1960s in Korea 25 DOI: 10.1515/ijas-2016-0002 Research Note SANGGUM LI PUSAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY Modern Literature after the 1960s in Korea Abstract (English): Since the beginning of the 1990s in Korea, the category and definition of new generation literature have become the topic of heated debate. One may understand this tendency as ‘generation severance’, ‘alienation between social classes’, or the ‘consumption- oriented culture of the masses’. Here, we call the literary youth born in approximately 1960 ‘the new generation’. In literature, the new generation refers to the appearance of a new culture and way of thinking. This generation passed their childhood in the 1970s and faced no such great difficulties as their parents combating poverty. However, they grew up under the indirect influence of a dark political outlook and suppression. Generally, they have a great affection for the culture produced by mass media. If we compare their development process with the literary stream in Korea, the 1960s could be defined as the era of literature for independence and strong self-awareness, the 1970s as the era for people, the 1980s as the era for the rights or emancipation of labour, and the 1990s as the era of new generation literature. Meanwhile, the appearance of the ‘Korean Wave’, or so-called ‘Hallyu’, has become one of the most beloved popular cultural phenomena both in Asia and in other countries since the late 1990s. Abstract (Korean): 특히 문학에서 1990년대 후반의 신세대가 새로운 문화의 등장과 새로운 사고로 특징되는 배경은 70년대에 유년시절을 그들의 부모세대와 달리 큰 어려움을 겪지 않고, 경제적으로도 궁핍하지 않게 성장할 수 있었기 때문일 것이다.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy o f the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

    Korean Immigrant Women's Everyday Life Information S

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: INFORMATION PRACTICES DURING LIFE TRANSITION: KOREAN IMMIGRANT WOMEN’S EVERYDAY LIFE INFORMATION SEEKING AND ACCULTURATION Jinyoung Kim, Ph.D., 2016 Directed By: Associate Professor, June Ahn, College of Information Studies/College of Education In this dissertation, I explore information practices during life transition in the context of immigration. This study aims to understand how their unique personal, social, and life contexts shape immigration experiences, and how these diverse contexts are related to various information practices that they engage in to resolve daily information needs and achieve immigration goals. In my study I examined daily information needs and acquisition of Korean immigrant women. Data were collected through two interview sessions, diary entries on everyday information seeking up to three weeks, post-diary debriefing interviews to reveal contexts surrounding information practices, and observation sessions. My study shows that one’s accumulated experiences with information-related situations shape the person’s attitudes toward diverse information resources and habitual information practices. Both personal and social contexts surrounding immigrant women change during life transition and shape how they interpret their immigration experiences, what information they need to deal with both daily and long-term goals, and how they modify their information practices to obtain the relevant information in an unfamiliar information environment. Also, life transition of immigration entails changes in immigrant women’s social roles, which engender their daily responsibilities in the new society. These daily responsibilities motivate immigrant women’s everyday interactions with a variety of communities in order to exchange information and conduct their social roles in the new sociocultural environment.
