The Asian Languages Programs of the Department of World Languages and Cultures are pleased to invite you to our next virtual Korea lecture "The Boundless Seas of Imagination" on April 5 (M).
What would you include if you are to draw a world map? How did maps contribute to the growth and distribution of knowledge and ideas?
Abstract of the talk:
During the late Chosŏn (17th-19th centuries), the Korean people’s appreciation of new materials and recognition of different cultures expanded rapidly. Koreans composed poetry and prose that explored Chinese and other foreign and remote areas, and broadly circulated maps that nourished their growing interest in new people, places, and things. This talk examines the use and popularity of cartography, particularly Ch’ŏnhado (Cosmography), and how it enriched the
Korean way of life. Using a wealth of information uncovered in recent decades, I explore the many ways in which maps contributed to the growth and distribution of knowledge and ideas, by illustrating both the geographical imagination and the cosmopolitan desire of late Chosŏn Koreans. World maps and related literary representations were not simple reflections of newfound cartographic information and knowledge. They were intricate revelations of the imaginative and abstruse worlds that lived in the Korean mind, speaking to their silenced but soaring demand to nourish their cultural and literary pride and creativity.
Sponsored by the Department of World Languages and Cultures and Korean Education Center of New York.
