[KS] Winner Announced: UC Berkeley Hong Yung Lee Book Award in Korean Studies

[Berkeley Center for Korean Studies]

ANNOUNCEMENT:
The Winner of The UC Berkeley Hong Yung Lee Book Award in Korean Studies

The Center for Korean Studies at UC Berkeley is honored to announce the
inaugural winner of the UC Berkeley Hong Yung Lee Book Award in Korean
Studies, *Kinship Novels of Early Modern Korea: Between Genealogical Time
and the Domestic Everyday* (Columbia University Press, 2021), by Professor
Ksenia Chizhova (Princeton University).

*Kinship Novels of Early Modern Korea* is a pioneering treatise on lineage
novels [kamun sosŏl], a literary genre that has been understudied and
underexamined, particularly in English-language academia. In the book,
Prof. Chizhova assembles granular textual readings, historical inquiries
and examinations, and theoretical illumination to put forward a compelling
view of established kinship norms, intimate practices in the domestic
spheres, and the development of the emotional self in late Chosŏn Korea.

The UC Berkeley Hong Yung Lee Book Award in Korean Studies and its $10,000
prize were created to support groundbreaking research and writing that
seeks to further the field of Korean Studies. A ceremony and symposium to
celebrate the award and Professor Chizhova’s achievement will be held at UC
Berkeley on February 3, 2023.

The Center for Korean Studies at UC Berkeley is deeply grateful to all the
authors and publishers who participated in this round of competition. We
will soon be making a separate announcement launching next year’s
competition, which will be open to submissions of Korean Studies books
published in 2021 and 2022.
