Paperback. Condition: New. Almost forty years after the publication of Hobsbawm and Ranger's The Invention of Tradition, the subject of invented traditions-cultural and historical practices that claim a continuity with a distant past but which are in fact of relatively recent origin-is still relevant, important, and highly contentious. Invented Traditions in North and South Korea examines the ways in which compressed modernity, Cold War conflict, and ideological opposition has impacted the revival of traditional forms in both Koreas. The volume is divided thematically into sections covering: (1) history, religions, (2) language, (3) music, food, crafts, and finally, (4) space. It includes chapters on pseudo-histories, new religions, linguistic politeness, literary Chinese, p'ansori, heritage, North Korean food, architecture, and the invention of children's pilgrimages in the DPRK. As the first comparative study of invented traditions in North and South Korea, the book takes the reader on a journey through Korea's epic twentieth century, examining the revival of culture in the context of colonialism, decolonization, national division, dictatorship, and modernization. The book investigates what it describes as "monumental" invented traditions formulated to maintain order, loyalty, and national identity during periods of political upheaval as well as cultural revivals less explicitly connected to political power. Invented Traditions in North and South Korea demonstrates that invented traditions can teach us a great deal about the twentieth-century political and cultural trajectories of the two Koreas. With contributions from historians, sociologists, folklorists, scholars of performance, and anthropologists, this volume will prove invaluable to Koreanists, as well as teachers and students of Korean and Asian studies undergraduate courses.…

Hardcover. Condition: As New. U-mi en haar jongere broertje U-il worden door hun moeder verlaten. Na een zwerftocht langs diverse familieleden komt hun vader hen halen en neemt hen mee naar zijn nieuwe woning. Dit twijfelachtige geluk komt echter tot een abrupt einde als ook hij na korte tijd zijn kinderen in de steek laat. U-mi en U-il koesteren hun droom te kunnen vliegen. Zo proberen ze zich te handhaven in het harde leven, maar op het moment dat zij hun vleugels uitslaan, blijken zij vogels met gebroken vleugels. Vogel speelt zich af tegen de achtergrond van het economische mirakel aan de Han-rivier, de jaren waarin Zuid-Korea van een straatarm land veranderde in een van de rijkste landen ter wereld. Het boek schetst een treffend beeld hoe de laagste sociale klasse ten tijde van deze kentering het slachtoffer werd van de intense urbanisatie en systematische uitbuiting.…
