Friday May 30, 2014 University of Bucharest - EPEL talk Isabelle SANCHO CNRS-EHESS Paris “Discourses and Practices of Confucian Friendship in 16th-Century Korea” The original Confucian school might be described as starting with a group of disciples and friends gathering together around the central figure of a master: Confucius, Master Kong. The man Confucius, as he has been staged in the text of the Analects, is always surrounded by a few key figures with distinct personalities, social backgrounds, and trajectories: the practical and straight-talker Zilu with military training, the gifted and politically skilled Zigong coming from a wealthy family, the youngest and favorite disciple Yan Hui from humble origins whose premature death left the Master inconsolable, Zengzi keen on transmitting the supposed true teachings of Confucius and to whom is attributed the Book of Filial Piety, etc.

  • No. 22 How Did North Korean Dance Notation Make Its Way to South
    School of Oriental and African Studies University of London SOAS-AKS Working Papers in Korean Studies No. 22 How did North Korean dance notation make its way to South Korea’s bastion of traditional arts, the National Gugak Center? Keith Howard http://www.soas.ac.uk/japankorea/research/soas-aks-papers/ How did North Korean dance notation make its way to South Korea’s bastion of traditional arts, the National Gugak Center? Keith Howard (SOAS, University of London) © 2012 In December 2009, the National Gugak Center published a notation for the dance for court sacrificial rites (aak ilmu). As the thirteenth volume in a series of dance notations begun back in 1988 this seems, at first glance, innocuous. The dance had been discussed in relation to the music and dance at the Rite to Confucius (Munmyo cheryeak) in the 1493 treatise, Akhak kwebŏm (Guide to the Study of Music), and had also, as part of Chongmyo cheryeak, been used in the Rite to Royal Ancestors. Revived in 1923 during the Japanese colonial period by members of the court music institute, then known as the Yiwangjik Aakpu (Yi Kings’ Court Music Institute), the memories and practice of former members of that institute ensured that the music and dance to both rites would be recognised as intangible cultural heritage within the post-liberation Republic of Korea (South Korea), with Chongymo cheryeak appointed Important Intangible Cultural Property (Chungyo muhyŏng munhwajae)1 1 in December 1964 and a UNESCO Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage in 2001, and the entire Confucian rite (Sŏkchŏn taeje) as Intangible Cultural Property 85 in November 1986.2 In fact, the director general of the National Gugak Center, Pak Ilhun, in a preface to volume thirteen, notes how Sŏng Kyŏngnin (1911–2008), Kim Kisu (1917–1986) and others who had been members of the former institute, and who in the 1960s were appointed ‘holders’ (poyuja) for Intangible Cultural Property 1, taught the dance for sacrificial rites to students at the National Traditional Music High School in 1980.

Despite his modern fame, Hwadam had never been enshrined during the Chosŏn period in the Munmyo, the official Confucian Shrine –even though his mother, Lady Han of Poan, is said to have dreamt of entering the gates of the shrine herself the very night he was conceived.

  • The Correlation Between the Musical Notations of Korea and China
    chapter6출고-L 2011.11.29 1:4 PM 페이지1 003 C M Y K ChapterⅥ The Correlation between the Musical Notations of Korea and China Lee Jin-weon chapter6출고-L 2011.11.29 1:4 PM 페이지2 003 C M Y K chapter6출고-L 2011.11.29 1:4 PM 페이지147 003 C M Y K The Correlation between the Musical Notations of Korea and China 147 Introduction As adjoined neighbors, China and Korea have had a continuous interchange since the beginning of their histories. As many kingdoms in ancient Korea accepted rites and music of Confucianism, which had been formed in accordance with the establishment of feudal society in China, Korea, in particular, has kept this culture of music up to this day. Dang-ak (music from the Chinese Tang Dynasty) introduced from China was performed with Hyang-ak (the native court music) in ancient Korea since the Three Kingdoms period, and the tradition has been kept alive. Aak (court ritual music), introduced from the Song Dynasty in the Goryeo Period in the 12th century, had a lot of influence on Jeryeak (court ritual music) in its formation. This is proven by Chinese musical pieces existing in Korea, such as Munmyo Jeryeak (Confucian Shrine music), Boheoja (Walking in the Void), and Nagyangchun (Spring in Loyang). Ancient Korean music was also introduced to China. Although there was a difference in scale and extent, Goryeogi (Entertainment of Goryeo) and Baekjegi (Entertainment of Baekje) were performed in the court of Sui and the Tang Dynasty of China. The musicians and professional female entertainers of ancient Korea were continuously sent to China after that time.

  • The Encyclopaedia of Korea
    1 The Encyclopaedia of Korea Aak [Music] Academy of Korean Studies Located in Songnam in Kyonggi Province, the Academy of Korean Studies (Han'guk Chongshin Munhwa Yon'guwon) was established by the government in 1978 to undertake studies in the heritage of the Korean people. The Academy sponsors research projects in the fields of history, philosophy, education, society, literature, arts and other attributes of traditional Korean life and culture. Graduate courses commenced in 1980, with master and doctorate programs now well established in most fields of Korean studies. Unlike normal graduate schools in Korea, the academy is not affiliated with an undergraduate program. Graduate students are exempted from tuition and accommodation fees, and they live on campus, thus encouraging their complete devotion to their studies. An allowance is granted to students who maintain outstanding grades. To promote the study of Korean culture overseas, enrolment opportunities are offered to overseas students interested in Korean studies. Foreign students receive similar privileges and the same level of instruction as Korean students. Adoption Characteristics Traditional methods of adoption (yangja) in Korea were radically different from what is connoted by the accepted English meaning. The primary focus of the adoption was not the child, but the parent. Traditional adoption meant the selection of a relative of the next lower generation, to serve as the heir for a man, and to provide rituals for him after he died. Many adoptions, in fact, did not take place until after the father had died; and in most cases, the 'child' was a full-grown adult. In traditional Korea, society was based on the principles of patrilineage, that is to say, a lineage resting on patrilineal inheritance and organisation.

Dr Isabelle Sancho (EHESS, Paris) "Does Confucianism matter in the study of Korea?" When Andrew Jackson invited me for this talk, he asked me to present, as an introduction, the basic ideas, texts, and history of Neo-Confucianism in Korea in order to give you a more precise idea of what Confucianism means in a philosophical and textual level. I first agreed with the proposal, thinking: "Oh that will be an easy job!" But as the talk was approaching and I started to think more about what I wanted to discuss with you, I changed my mind. I believe that one straightforward question may be asked before talking in detail about Confucianism: "Does Confucianism matters? Does it matter in the study of Korea, especially modern and contemporary Korea?" Recently, I have been struck by the increasing demands and questions about the nature, features, and history of Confucianism coming from a wide range of people around me: students, colleagues in KS, but also general audience (French press, etc.).
