  • (1501-1565) Statecraft and Buddhist View in Confucian Joseon*
    Korea Journal, vol. 54, no. 2 (summer 2014): 62-86. 62 © Korean NationalKOREA Commission JOURNAL for / UNESCO,SUMMER 2014 Queen Munjeong’s (1501-1565) Statecraft and Buddhist View in Confucian Joseon* Jongmyung KIM Abstract Queen Munjeong (1501-1565) was a substantial power holder who administered national affairs from “behind the bamboo curtain” during the Joseon dynasty (1392- 1910). The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between her view on Buddhism and statecraft in sixteenth-century Confucian Joseon. To that end, this study examines Queen Munjeong's Buddhist activities in anti-Buddhist Confucian society, her understanding of Buddhism, and her statecraft in relation to her Buddhist policy. Queen Munjeong did not reject heterodoxy and respected tradition, which served as the logic for her favor of Buddhism. She was a substantial power holder who surpassed royal authority in power and suppressed remonstrators, and her Buddhist activities had strong elements of private character while seeking miraculous efficacy, which eventually resulted in criticism from her contemporary and immediate later generations. Keywords: Buddhism, Confucianism, Joseon, Queen Munjeong, statecraft, suryeom cheongjeong 垂簾聽政 (“politics from behind the bamboo curtain”) * This article was originally presented as “Politics and Buddhism in Sixteenth-century Confucian Joseon” at the 25th Biennial Conference of the Association for Korean Studies in Europe, Moscow, Russia, June 17-20, 2011. Jongmyung KIM is Professor of Korean and Buddhist Studies at the Graduate School of Korean Studies, the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS).

  • Royal Portraits of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) in Ritual Context
    Like Life: Royal Portraits of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) in Ritual Context By © 2018 Son, Myenghee (Son, Myeonghui) Submitted to the graduate degree program in Art History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Marsha Haufler Sherry Fowler Jungsil Lee Amy McNair Kyoim Yun Date Defended: 26 April 2018 ii The dissertation committee for Myenghee Son (Myeonghui Son) certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Like Life: Royal Portraits of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) in Ritual Context Chair: Marsha Haufler Date Approved: 26 April 2018 iii Abstract Like Life: Royal Portraits of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) in Ritual Context Myenghee Son 2018 This dissertation examines the functions and meanings of Joseon royal portraits by investigating them in light of the material culture and the ritual practices of royal ancestor worship in royal portrait halls, where offerings of wine and food were presented before portrait paintings for royal ancestral rites. This study classifies portrait halls as either official or informal, depending on their inclusion in or exclusion from the official state rites and goes on to discern the different features and functions of specific portrait halls through in-depth investigation of the ritual goods used therein and the interior settings and adornment of the halls. By distinguishing repositories, where portraits were not formally worshipped, from portrait halls, it also offers case studies of portraits in the repositories and illuminates their original function and distinctive character in form and style.
