Book Culture and Vernacular Identity in Premodern Korea and East Asia
A Korean Studies workshop at Cornell University
Sunday, October 30, 2016
Hosted by the Cornell East Asia Program and Cornell literature and linguistics faculty Suyoung Son and John Whitman, this workshop brings together a group of leading scholars to discuss the related issues of book culture and the emergence of vernaculars in a Sinocentric context. Our workshop will have two sections: one focusing on the development and evolution of vernaculars and the second section will focus on book culture and textual circulation. The presenters will be David Lurie (Columbia), Si Nae Park (Harvard), and Young Oh (Arizona State U) for the vernaculars section; and Peter Kornicki (Cambridge), Suyoung Son (Cornell), Soyoung Suh (Dartmouth), and Michael Pettid (Binghamton) for the book culture section.
Interested attendees welcome. For further information contact the Cornell East Asia Program at cueap at cornell.edu<mailto:cueap at cornell.edu>.
This workshop is part of the Cornell East Asia Program’s Korean Studies Initiative. The workshop is funded with the support of the Cornell Internationalization Fund and the Academy of Korean Studies Laboratory Program for Korean Studies.
