[KS] Publication Announcement: Korea Journal, vol. 53, no. 1

[Korea Journal]

Dear list members,


We are pleased to announce the publication of the Spring 2013 issue (vol.
53, no. 1) of the* Korea Journal.*


This issue features articles covering various topics in the field of Korean
Studies, selected from submissions through a rigorous peer review process. The
first article by Yi Sang Il addresses the relationship between poverty,
health needs, and the provision of health care in South Korea, based on
Hart’s inverse care law. The second article by Soon-yang Kim attempts to
uncover the Confucian foundation of public sector welfare in the kingdom
era of East Asia’s history and to discuss the unlikelihood of realizing
Confucian idealism in a pre-industrial country that was experiencing cycles
of poverty and natural disasters. By comparing headlines in South Korean
newspaper *Chosun Ilbo* and the American newspaper *The New York Times*, the
third article by Han Jiyoung and Lee Gunho argues that the accuracy of
direct quotations should be analyzed with three foci: the exactness of the
quotation, the validity of the attribution, and the legitimacy of the
emphasis. Park Heonho’s article explores the trends of Japanese colonial
censorship and the intellectual and cultural landscape of colonial Korea by
analyzing the five types of statistical data compiled in the *Chosen
shuppan keisatsu geppo* (Publication Police Monthly of Joseon). The fifth
article, by Huajeong Seok, examines how the international rivalries over
Korea were represented in political cartoons published between 1876 and
1898. In the next article, Choe Keysook explores how funeral oration
legitimized the act of weeping for male scholar-officials of Joseon and
shows how gender was a key element in understanding the way emotional
expressiveness was accommodated, represented, and articulated in the
Confucian norm. Finally, the last article by Oh Mi-il approaches the topic
of hill villages from a historical perspective, illustrating the symbolic
landscape and space of Busan. With a focus on spatial production and
arrangement, Oh attempts to account for the socioeconomic relations of the
colonial city.



This issue also carries a book review on John Rennie Short’s *Korea: A
Cartographic History*, one of the recent publications covering the changes
of Korea’s maps from the Joseon period (1392-1910) to post-World War II.
