The Korea Society is pleased to announce that the *Eighth Annual Sherman
Family Korea Emerging Scholar Lecture* awardee is* Dr. David Krolikoski*,
Assistant Professor at the University of Hawai’i. His lecture is titled *The
Politics of The Silence of Love in Colonial Korea.*

In this lecture Dr. Krolikoski examines *The Silence of Love *(*Nim ŭi
ch’immuk*, 1926), the acclaimed collection of eighty-eight poems by Han
Yong-un (1879-1944). Although the book is commonly celebrated as a metaphor
for colonial subjugation, Dr. Krolikoski complicates this established
reading to argue that its artistic significance lies in Han’s
paradigm-shifting use of colonial poetry as a medium of communal expression
during a time of national crisis.

Further, he explores how Han uses fiction and symbols to collapse the
boundary between private and public address, transmuting the individual
voice of his poetic speaker into a platform for a community. Dr. Krolikoski
also contextualizes *The Silence of Love* within the history of the
translation of foreign poetic forms into Korea during the 1920s, with a
focus on how Han incorporated elements from the lyric and prose poem into
his verse. *Dr.* *Emily Jungmin Yoon*, author of *Find Me as the Creature I
Am* (Alfred A. Knopf, 2024) and assistant professor of Korean literature at
the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, will serve as moderator.
