[KS] Korea and Koreans as featured in literary works by non-Korean(ist) writers

[Lauren Deutsch]

A good questions. I have witnessed Kim Keumhwa, the Naramansin, on several
occasions teaching her apprentices and associates the gut liturgy by
presenting the libretto from her vast repertoire from memory learned orally,
and they were writing it down. It is a striking experience to realize how,
still, so much oral culture is still accessible.

hi, Frank, great...
Question: are the texts of mask dances, pansori, muga, (add folk songs,
maybe early sijo, the Cheoyong-ga...) literature?
Best,
Werner

This for sure is not literature -- but I thought I mention it anyway, given
how important Chinoiserie and Japonism were for upper class arts and art
collectors in Europe and North America, but that there was never anything
like Koreanism -- this is as close as you get:

  "Die Braut von Korea" (The Bride from Korea)
  a ballet from 1897
  Music: Joseph Bayer (1852-1913), choreography: Josef Hassreiter

The ballet was performed 38 times between 1897 and 1901 at the Wiener
Hofoper (Vienna Court Opera)--that was the time when Gustav Mahler was the
director there.


Best,
Frank
