My work on the history of emotions in premodern and early modern Korea is situated at the intersection of literary studies, material culture studies, and theoretical understanding of emotion and affect. The main areas of my research include vernacular Korean lineage novels (kamun sosŏl), women’s literacy, vernacular Korean calligraphy, the materiality of manuscript culture, and the early-twentieth-century intellectual discourse of emotion. Weaving these themes and analytical strategies together is the goal of my current manuscript project based on my dissertation.
