'Everyday Life in Joseon-Era Korea' shows how the momentous changes of the time transformed the lives of the common people. In 23 concise chapters, the book covers topics ranging from agriculture, commerce, and mining to education, marriage, and food culture. It examines how both the spread of Neo-Confucianism in the early Joseon period and its decline from the 17th century impacted economic and social life. The book also demonstrates that much of what is thought of as ancient Korean tradition actually developed in the Joseon period. Chapters in this book discuss how customs such as ancestor worship, the use of genealogies, and foods such as kimchi all originated or became widespread in this era.

Have you ever thought how it would be if you were born yesterday, at the time of monarchs and nobles, when people`s ordinary wardrobe consists of extra ordinary materials and fabulous frills? Have you ever wished you were born same time, met a certain person, lived a life as exciting, as fascinating, as surreal as things seemed to be then? Titled Journey To Joseon, this book is a time-travel poetic sojourn to the past of one of the most popular Korean dynasties, particularly the Joseon era. In our present time, Koreanovelas and KDramas seems to be enjoying their moment of glory and the so-called millennials are getting more glued to KPop oppas and unnies who catapulted to fame via mainstream movies being patronized worldwide. This book is my way of sharing that same fascination and captivation upon these old tales, by presenting them to you in my most eloquent form of expression, through poetry. Armed with enormous imagination, I try to reach a fancy world that once existed in reality, yet can simply be reminisce today. The long forgotten past that used to be the day to day existence of yesteryears was brought to the present as we once again recall what was life back then, in a recollection of fragments and sliver of their past through my poems. To all of you old souls like me, who derives pleasure in reading about old stuff, stories of long ago, lives lived in long times past, this book is for you.

Early Korean Literature written by David McCann and has been published by Columbia University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2000-09-14 with Literary Criticism categories.
Preeminent scholar and translator David R. McCann presents an anthology of his own translations of works ranging across the major genres and authors of Korean writing—stories, legends, poems, historical vignettes, and other works—and a set of critical essays on major themes. A brief history of traditional Korean literature orients the reader to the historical context of the writings, thus bringing into focus this rich literary tradition. The anthology of translations begins with the Samguk sagi, or History of the Three Kingdoms, written in 1145, and ends with "The Story of Master Hô," written in the late 1700s. Three exploratory essays of particular subtlety and lucidity raise interpretive and comparative issues that provide a creative, sophisticated framework for approaching the selections.

The book explores the favorite pastimes and customs of the Korean people under the 'Great Empire' from the late 14th century to 1910, when Korea was occupied by Japan. Some of the popular games discussed include Baduk (the Korean version of 'Go', a strategic board game for two players), Janggi (the Korean version of chess) and Yutnori (a game played with four short sticks). The author also discusses games played by young boys (e.g. flying kites) and young girls (e.g. hide-and-seek), men (e.g. archery) and women (e.g. seesaw), and pastimes enjoyed by both sexes (e.g. tug of war). Lee examines the origin of family names and common people's obsession with genealogy during the Joseon dynasty. He also discusses the important ceremonies celebrating milestones in one's life as well as ceremonies associated with various holidays on the calendar. The last segment of the book is devoted to people's interest in fortune-telling. The author discusses behaviors that were considered taboo and the various ways people tried to predict their future.

Owing to their unique state of preservation, mummies provide us with significant historical and scientific knowledge of humankind’s past. This handbook, written by prominent international experts in mummy studies, offers readers a comprehensive guide to new understandings of the field’s most recent trends and developments. It provides invaluable information on the health states and pathologies of historic populations and civilizations, as well as their socio-cultural and religious characteristics. Addressing the developments in mummy studies that have taken place over the past two decades – which have been neglected for as long a time – the authors excavate the ground-breaking research that has transformed scientific and cultural knowledge of our ancient predecessors. The handbook investigates the many new biotechnological tools that are routinely applied in mummy studies, ranging from morphological inspection and endoscopy to minimally invasive radiological techniques that are used to assess states of preservation. It also looks at the paleoparasitological and pathological approaches that have been employed to reconstruct the lifestyles and pathologic conditions of ancient populations, and considers the techniques that have been applied to enhance biomedical knowledge, such as craniofacial reconstruction, chemical analysis, stable isotope analysis and ancient DNA analysis. This interdisciplinary handbook will appeal to academics in historical, anthropological, archaeological and biological sciences, and will serve as an indispensable companion to researchers and students interested in worldwide mummy studies.
