In this inaugural volume of \u003ci\u003eWashU Ventures in Korean Studies\u003c\/i\u003e, the authors set out to answer the question which has underpinned the rise of new interests within Korean studies: science studies, history of technology, and medical humanities. The essays here range across a wide array of topics, from sedge craft and traditional medicine to mental health, electricity, and kimchi refrigerators. Yet they cohere around investigating the relationship between Korean society and the central human activities of knowing nature, making things, and healing bodies. To better understand contemporary Korea as well as its process of modernization, this volume presents three themes: innovation as method and history, healing and medical identity, and the dialectics of global and local technologies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leah Ford, Paulina Joo, Tony Kwon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8811549205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798811549207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Leah Ford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123338178815,"sku":"9798811549207","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6cc716fa-9f4d-4c34-b7f2-1dd6dd2386cd.jpg?v=1687430315","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/korea-reimagined-leah-ford-9798811549207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
