Until this important new study, however, the nature of Koryŏ society, the stresses induced by the new legislation, and society's resistance to the Neo-Confucian changes imposed by the Chosŏn elite have remained largely unexplored. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo explain which aspects of life in Koryŏ came under attack and why, Martina Deuchler draws on social anthropology to examine ancestor worship, mourning, inheritance, marriage, the position of women, and the formation of descent groups. To examine how Neo-Confucian ideology could become an effective instrument for altering basic aspects of Koryŏ life, she traces shifts in political and social power as well as the cumulative effect of changes over time. What emerges is a subtle analysis of Chosŏn Korean social and ideological history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martina Deuchler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674160894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674160897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.08w x 1.08d","brand":"Martina Deuchler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981083148543,"sku":"9780674160897","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_de4f88bc-919d-4b5c-b3e7-1dccf5516c33.jpg?v=1683253566","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-confucian-transformation-of-korea-martina-deuchler-9780674160897","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
