<p class="western"><font color="#000000"> “<font face="Baskerville,

Materiality in Korea, Premodern to Postmodern” special issue
seeks
to ground the study of Korea, past and present, in the</font></font><font
color="#0000ff"><font face="Baskerville, serif">
</font></font><font color="#000000"><font face="Baskerville,
serif">materiality
of writing, while refining its theorization and
historicization.
Technological developments of the recent decades have prompted
renewed academic interest in inscriptional media, their
innovation
and negotiation, and we aim to explore when and how the medium
becomes the message and shift the lens of critical inquiry
from
textual interpretation towards the infrastructure of textual
transmission and the work of the body and the senses. </font></font><font
color="#000000"><font face="Baskerville, serif">Further,
we wish to draw a</font></font><font color="#000000"><font
face="Baskerville, serif">ttention
to how writing as material technology is implicated in power
relations, whereby script enables language standardization,
social
control, and spatial claims. Finally, we are interested in the
dynamics of remediation and intermediality: competition,
symbiosis,
and border-crossing among distinct mediums. </font></font>
</p>
<p class="western"><font color="#000000"><font face="Baskerville,
serif">We
invite submissions that consider such theoretical problems at
any
point of Korean history from scholars of media, material
culture,
visual culture, literature, history, anthropology, and related
fields</font></font><font color="#0000ff"><font
face="Baskerville, serif">.
</font></font><font color="#000000"><font face="Baskerville,
serif">Moving
beyond the discussion of cosmopolitan vs. vernacular
developments in
the literary culture of premodern Korea, can we identify the
significance of performative aspects of writing (writing in
blood,
spirit writing, writing as self-harmful filial activity, etc)?
How
was writing affected by the proliferation of new media
technologies,
such as printing press, radio and television, in the context
of
colonial modernity and, later, post-colonial nation-building
in two
Koreas? How has the spread of the Internet and other new media
technologies reconfigured textual materialities?</font></font></p>
