Hardback. Condition: New. Virtue That Matters is a groundbreaking exploration of the intricate dynamics of chastity culture in Choson Korea from 1392 to 1910, shedding light on its political, legal, social, and cultural significance. In this book, Jungwon Kim demonstrates how an emphasis on female chastity came to pervade societ…y as it intertwined with state ideology and elite interests. By analyzing a copious range of sources including governmental publications, legal records, and women's own writings, Kim unveils the rich tapestry of Choson society's attitudes toward female chastity and argues that extreme chastity culture was not merely a product of Confucianization but was also shaped by diverse social forces and individual agency. Furthermore, Kim reframes the discourse on chastity by focusing on women's experiences and perspectives, challenging the traditional portrayal of women as marginal to Choson history.Virtue That Matters illustrates the complex interplay between state-led indoctrination, socio-legal changes, and gender relations in Choson Korea. Kim also shows how the discourse on women's chastity evolved over time and continued to influence social dynamics well into the twentieth century. By highlighting the enduring legacy of chastity culture in modern Korean society, Virtue That Matters provides valuable insights into contemporary debates on gender and sexuality.

Paperback. Condition: New. Suicide and martyrdom are closely intertwined with Korean social and political processes. In this first book-length study of the evolving ideals of honorable death and martyrdom from the Choson Dynasty (1392-1910) to contemporary South Korea, interdisciplinary essays explore the changing ways in which…Korean historical agents have considered what constitutes a sociopolitically meaningful death and how the surviving community should remember such events.Among the topics covered are the implications of women's chaste suicides and men's righteous killings in the evolving Confucian-influenced social order of the latter half of the Choson Dynasty; changing nation-centered constructions of sacrifice and martyrdom put forth by influential intellectual figures in mid-twentieth-century South Korea, which were informed by the politics of postcolonial transition and Cold War ideology; and the decisive role of martyrdom in South Korea's interlinked democracy and labor movements, including Chun Tae-il's self-immolation in 1970, the loss of hundreds of lives during the Kwangju Uprising of 1980, and the escalation of protest suicides in the 1980s and early 1990s.
