[KS] Publication Announcement: Korea Journal, vol. 53, no. 3

[Korea, Journal]

Dear list members,


We are pleased to announce the publication of the Autumn 2013 issue (vol.
53, no. 3) of the *Korea Journal*. This issue features articles covering
various topics in the field of Korean Studies, selected from submissions
through a vigorous peer review process.

The first article by Sohyeon Park examines how Korean legal specialists
reestablished judicial thought through Chinese legal cases, with a focus on
*Heumheum sinseo *(Toward a New Jurisprudence). The second article by Kim
Youn-Gyeong investigates how Laozi’s *Daodejing* (Classic of the Way and
Virtue) was understood in Joseon, a country that adopted Zhu Xi’s
Neo-Confucianism as its state ideology, based on the examination of the
characteristics of five Joseon dynasty annotations of the “book of heresy.”
Kim and Yang’s article examines how the level of verbal aggressiveness and
argumentativeness of Korean people is affected by *chemyeon* (roughly
translated as “face”), a deeply pervasive Korean concept that pertains to
one’s consciousness of how others perceive one’s performance, personality,
and status. Kang and Yun’s article examines the ideas of transversality,
cross-cultural dialogue, and biological analogies in order to suggest the
proper guidelines for deconstructing Western-centrism and engaging in
comparative political philosophy. Ryu and Won’s study examines cultural
politics with regard to the modern revival of “Baekdudaegan” as a term in
Korean society while attempting to understand how society makes sense of
Baekdudaegan by endowing it with meaning and changing that meaning to
complement social changes. The sixth article by Haangsok Jung suggests ways
to utilize “positive engagement” as a cooperative measure for reducing
threats and facilitating the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula,
arguing against coercive measures or neglect approaches. The last article
by Nam-Il Jun analyzes the reorganization of Korean residential space
following the accommodation of modern-day needs, focusing on the
transformation of the main space from the *daecheong* (large floor) to the *
geosil* (living room).

This issue also features a book review of Kim Seon-Hee’s *Matteo Ricci-wa
Zhu Xi, geurigo Jeong Yak-yong *(Matteo Ricci, Zhu Xi, and Jeong Yak-yong),
a recent publication which examines the intellectual clashes between
medieval Christianity and Confucianism in East Asia, in particular, China
and Korea, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
