*Event Description*
“From King’s Body to Queen’s Hand: Royal Vernacular Calligraphy in Korea”

This presentation performs an archaeology of Korean royal bodies to
excavate the vernacular hand—palace style calligraphy (kungch’e 宮體) that
developed in the seventeenth century. This aestheticized cursivization of
the Korean script marked the emergence of vernacular courtly culture that
had its roots in the epistolary greeting (munan 問安) decorum of the royal
family. Tracing the contested history of palace style calligraphy—the
graphic prototype of most widely used Korean fonts, and a historical
phenomenon that was first disavowed and then overdetermined by nationalist
discourses in the two Koreas—this presentation identifies vernacular
calligraphic training as gender-bending culture of the Korean royal family
that instituted carnal continuities across the divide of kingly and queenly
embodiment, strictly demarcated at court as political sphere.
*Speaker*
*Ksenia Chizhova*
*Ksenia Chizhova* is an Associate Professor of East Asian Studies at
Princeton University. Ksenia’s first book, *Kinship Novels of Early Modern
Korea: Between Genealogical Time and the Domestic Everyday* traces the
conflicted emotions that arise in the everyday life of early modern Korean
kinship. *Kinship Novels* received the inaugural Hong Yung Lee Book Award
from Berkeley’s Center for Korean Studies, and an Honorable Mention from
the James Palais Book Prize, Association of Asian Studies. Her now
in-progress book, *Women in the Media History of the Korean Script:
1600/2000*, canvasses the techno-aesthetic history of the Korean script,
from palace-style calligraphy to modern fonts and graphic design.
*Moderator*
*Immanuel Kim*
*Immanuel Kim* is Korea Foundation and Kim-Renaud Associate Professor of
Korean Literature and Culture Studies in the Department of East Asian
Languages and Literatures. Prior to working at the George Washington
University, he was Assistant Professor in the Department of Asian and Asian
American Studies at Binghamton University (SUNY). His first book, *Rewriting
Revolution: Women, Sexuality, and Memory in North Korean Fiction* (2018),
examines North Korean literature, and his second book, *Laughing North
Koreans* (2020), looks at North Korean comedy films. He also translated a
novel from North Korea called *Friend* (2020).

Founded in the year 2016, the GW Institute for Korean Studies (GWIKS) is a
university wide Institute housed in the Elliott School of International
Affairs at the George Washington University. The establishment of the GWIKS
in 2016 was made possible by a generous grant from the Academy of Korean
Studies (AKS). The mission of GWIKS is to consolidate, strengthen, and grow
the existing Korean studies program at GW, and more generally in the
greater D.C. area and beyond. The Institute enables and enhances productive
research and education relationships within GW, and among the many experts
throughout the region and the world.
