Turning Toward Edification
Turning toward Edification discusses foreigners in Korea from before the founding of Chosŏn in 1392 until the mid-nineteenth century. Although it has been common to describe Chosŏn Korea as a monocultural and homogeneous state, Adam Bohnet reveals the considerable presence of foreigners and people of foreign ancestry in Chosŏn Korea as well as the importance to the Chosŏn monarchy of engagement with the outside world. These foreigners included Ju…
Early Modern China and Northeast Asia
In Early Modern China and Northeast Asia: Cross-Border Perspectives, Evelyn S. Rawski makes an ambitious attempt to reconsider Chinese history from the point of view of what is at times treated as
Lies, Rumours and Sino-Korean Relations
In 1687, a man calling himself Yu Yŏlli was discovered begging from the common people of Chido garrison in Chŏlla Province by pretending to be a Chinese castaway. Although the Chosŏn court eventually established that he was lying, it took a full month to come to this conclusion, despite what seems at times to have been a very flimsily constructed identity on Yu’s part. This article argues that he succeeded because he effectively reproduced the es…
Debating Tumen Valley Jurchens during the Late Sixteenth and Early Seventeenth Centuries
This article discusses developments among Jurchen tribes on Chosŏn Korea’s northeast frontier during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. By the sixteenth century, it is often argued, Chosŏn court officialdom had thoroughly internalized Sinocentric ideology, and this caused them to despise Jurchens as barbarian outsiders. By exploring court debates and poetry related to Jurchen uprisings in northern Hamgyŏng, however, this essay ar…
From Liaodongese Refugee to Ming Loyalist
This paper investigates the construction of biographies of Ming migrant descent groups during the Late Joseon as a product of the interaction of diverse social and political forces. With a focus especially on the biographies of one migrant-those of Ma Shunshang or Pengzhi, the founder of the Sanggok Ma descent group-this paper argues that the biographies were created by the interaction of the Joseon court and the Ming migrant descent groups thems…
Ruling Ideology and Marginal Subjects
Numerous Ming Chinese took refuge in Chosŏn Korea during the early seventeenth century. Despite the supposed sinocentrism of Chosŏ’s elites, refugees from China were treated as belonging to the category of submitting-foreigner ( hyanghwain ), a protected but distinctly humble social status that had been used primarily as a tool for settling Japanese and Jurchen from Chosŏn’s frontiers. Beginning in the mid-eighteenth century, however, the Chosŏn …
