*Event Description*
*“Cartography and Contraband Religion in Chosŏn Korea: Andreas Kim Taegŏn
(1821-1846) and his Map of Korea"*

Andreas Kim Taegŏn is viewed in the Korean collective memory as the first
indigenous Catholic priest and a martyr for his faith. This common
perception, however, conceals a much more complex story, that of Kim
Taegŏn’s life trajectory as go-between and religious broker. This is
evidenced among other things by the* Map of Korea (Carta Coreæ)* that he
drew in 1845. This presentation investigates the hybrid nature of this map,
which is neither fully Asian nor fully Western, and seeks to go beyond the
question of adopting or rejecting modern European cartography at the
expense of traditional Korean cartography. Dr. Roux will explore the making
of a clandestine missionary cartography through the reappropriation of
Korean official knowledge, and also demonstrate how go-betweens who
mastered linguistic and cultural codes shaped the history of Catholicism
beyond a mere religious contribution. In doing so, this presentation shows
how the *Map of Korea* sheds light on both European adaptations of Asian
maps and the historical evolution of Korean cartography in the late Chosŏn
period (1392-1897). It also demonstrates that the supposed original map
discovered in the French National Library in 2019 is certainly nothing more
than a late and bad copy of the real original map.
