ABOUT THE BOOK

Almost forty years after the publication of Hobsbawm and Ranger’s The Invention of Tradition, the subject of invented traditions—cultural and historical practices that claim a continuity with a distant past but which are in fact of relatively recent origin—is still relevant, important, and highly contentious. Invented Traditions in North and South Korea examines the ways in which compressed modernity, Cold War conflict, and ideological opposition has impacted the revival of traditional forms in both Koreas. The volume is divided thematically into sections covering: (1) history, religions, (2) language, (3) music, food, crafts, and finally, (4) space. It includes chapters on pseudo-histories, new religions, linguistic politeness, literary Chinese, p’ansori, heritage, North Korean food, architecture, and the invention of children’s pilgrimages in the DPRK.

As the first comparative study of invented traditions in North and South Korea, the book takes the reader on a journey through Korea’s epic twentieth century, examining the revival of culture in the context of colonialism, decolonization, national division, dictatorship, and modernization. The book investigates what it describes as “monumental” invented traditions formulated to maintain order, loyalty, and national identity during periods of political upheaval as well as cultural revivals less explicitly connected to political power. Invented Traditions in North and South Korea demonstrates that invented traditions can teach us a great deal about the twentieth-century political and cultural trajectories of the two Koreas. With contributions from historians, sociologists, folklorists, scholars of performance, and anthropologists, this volume will prove invaluable to Koreanists, as well as teachers and students of Korean and Asian studies undergraduate courses.

À PROPOS DU LIVRE

Près de quarante ans après la publication de The Invention of Tradition de Hobsbawm et Ranger, le sujet des traditions inventées - des pratiques culturelles et historiques qui revendiquent une continuité avec un passé lointain mais qui sont en fait d'origine relativement récente - est toujours d'actualité, important et très controversé. Invented Traditions in North and South Korea examine la façon dont la modernité comprimée, le conflit de la guerre froide et l'opposition idéologique ont eu un impact sur la renaissance des formes traditionnelles dans les deux Corées. L'ouvrage est divisé en sections thématiques couvrant : (1) l'histoire, les religions, (2) la langue, (3) la musique, la nourriture, l'artisanat et, enfin, (4) l'espace. Il comprend des chapitres sur les pseudo-histoires, les nouvelles religions, la politesse linguistique, le chinois littéraire, le p'ansori, le patrimoine, la nourriture nord-coréenne, l'architecture et l'invention des pèlerinages d'enfants en RPDC.

Première étude comparative des traditions inventées en Corée du Nord et du Sud, ce livre emmène le lecteur dans un voyage à travers l'épopée du vingtième siècle coréen, examinant le renouveau de la culture dans le contexte du colonialisme, de la décolonisation, de la division nationale, de la dictature et de la modernisation. L'ouvrage étudie ce qu'il décrit comme des traditions inventées "monumentales" formulées pour maintenir l'ordre, la loyauté et l'identité nationale pendant les périodes de bouleversements politiques, ainsi que des renouveaux culturels moins explicitement liés au pouvoir politique. Invented Traditions in North and South Korea démontre que les traditions inventées peuvent nous en apprendre beaucoup sur les trajectoires politiques et culturelles des deux Corées au XXe siècle. Avec des contributions d'historiens, de sociologues, de folkloristes, de spécialistes de la performance et d'anthropologues, ce volume s'avérera inestimable pour les coréanistes, ainsi que pour les enseignants et les étudiants des cours de coréen et d'études asiatiques de premier cycle.
