Carving Status at Kmgangsan: Elite Graffiti in Premodern Korea by Maya K.H. Stil

Description: Carving Status at Kmgangsan by Maya K.H. Stiller, Clark W. Sorensen Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description North Koreas Kumgangsan is one of Asias most celebrated sacred mountain ranges, comparable in fame to Mount Tai in China and Mount Fuji in Japan. Carving Status at Kumgangsan marks a paradigm shift in the research about East Asian mountains by introducing an entirely new field: autographic rock graffiti. The book details how late Choson (ca. 1600-1900 CE) Korean elite travelers used Kumgangsan to demonstrate their high social status by carving inscriptions, naming sites, and joining the literary pedigree of visitors to renowned locales. Such travel practices show how social competition emerged in the spatial context of a landscape. Hence, Carving Status at Kumgangsan argues for an expansion of accepted historical narratives on travel and mountain space in premodern East Asia. Rather than interpreting pilgrimage routes as exclusively religious or tourist, in Kumgangsans case they were also an important site of collective memory.A journey to Kumgangsan to view and contribute to its sites of memory was an endeavor that late Choson Koreans hoped to achieve in their lives. Based on multidisciplinary research drawing on literary writings, court records, gazetteers, maps, songs, calligraphy, and paintings, Carving Status at Kumgangsan is the first historical study of this practice. It will appeal to scholars in fields ranging from East Asian history, literature, and geography, to pilgrimage studies and art history. Author Biography Maya K. H.
