The Center for Korean Studies at UC Berkeley is honored to host the
inaugural winner of the UC Berkeley Hong Yung Lee Book Award in Korean
Studies <https://ieas.berkeley.edu/cks/hylbookaward>, Professor Ksenia
Chizhova (Princeton University), and present her with the award for her
winning book "Kinship Novels of Early Modern Korea: Between Genealogical
Time and the Domestic Everyday" (Columbia University Press, 2021).

The Award Ceremony will feature a presentation by awardee Professor
Chizhova followed by a moderated discussion with Professor Yoon Sun Yang
(Boston University). After the main event concludes, a cocktail hour will
be hosted in the David Brower Center Gallery.

"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. An
excerpt from the book can be read online here.

This book award was launched with the generous support of Whakyung Choi Lee.

Best,
Kelsey
