<TITLE>Seeking English language sources on Korean aesthetic</TITLE>

<BODY>
<FONT FACE="Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:14.0px'>I am seeking English language references to Korea’s cultural impact on Japanese aesthetics, especially the qualities of “wabi”, “sabi” and “shibui”. This would include but not be limited to ceramics in the 16th century and beyond. Classical and contemporary analysis, commentary is welcome. I plan to use the information in an article on “beauty” for <I>Parabola</I> as well as to inform lectures and other writing on the roots of rusticity as presented in Japanese tea ceremony.<BR>
<BR>
Many thanks.<BR>

<BR>
I’d like to announce the publication (and free online access... hear, hear!) of Monash University Press’s <I>Complicated Currents: Media Flows, Soft Power and East Asia</I>, edited by Daniel Black, Stephen Epstein and Alison Tokita. I believe that except for chapter 11 (my own), this is an extremely valuable (and well edited) collection of studies on Korean and East Asian popular culture, and certainly worth checking out. <BR>
