History, Language and Culture in Korea

History, Language and Culture in Korea: Proceedings of the 20th Conference of the Association of Korean Studies in Europe (AKSE), compiled by Youngsook Pak and Jaehoon Yeonm consists of facsimile copies of papers presented at AKSE’s twentieth conference in London (4-8 April, 2001).

The texts presented are in English, Korean and French and include papers in pre-Modern and Modern History, Religion and Thought, Literature and Language, Anthropology and Modern Korea, where these have been supplied in their final form. The book consists of facsimile copies of papers presented at the 20th Conference of the Association of Korean Studies in Europe (AKSE).

AKSE has its twentieth conference in London (4-8 April, 2001). At the start of a new millennium, there is a growing awareness of the importance of Korean studies and an increasing number of scholars in this field worldwide.

Without the sound foundation laid by distinguished senior scholars in the West and their training of younger generation of scholars, the situation of Korean studies today would have taken a different course. Students who embark on this study must begin by mastering Korean and other East Asian languages, essential and fundamental tools for in-depth research. The quality of scholarship in Korean studies throughout the world is evident in the papers gathered here.

Students of Korean studies, we believe, will welcome any publication that is the result of serious scholarly enquiry and research. With this thought in mind, I have long felt that it is necessary to assemble and publish such significant studies no matter how diverse their topics. At many conferences nowadays, it has become possible and common practice to publish papers submitted in advance of the conference itself, with considerable benefits for all concerned. Following my request for advance copies of papers with full text and footnotes, I am very grateful for the generous response of participants, who have sent their papers in English, Korean and French, among the languages spoken and used by the members of AKSE as a whole. They include papers in pre-Modern and Modern History, Religion and Thought,  Literature and Language,  Anthropology and Modern Korea, where these have been supplied in their final form.

AKSE is most grateful to Korea Research Foundation, without whose generous support continued over many years, this series of scholarly gatherings in Europe would not have been possible.

Finally, I am grateful to the Publisher, Sajid Rizvi of Saffron Books, for his generous offer to print these pre-Conference proceedings at very short notice.
