Taking up diverse transnational and interdisciplinary standpoints, this volume aims to encourage readers not to treat modern Korean literature as a self-evident category but to examine it anew as an uncultivated and uncharted space, unearthing its internal chasms and global connections. Divided into five parts, the themes covered include the following: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLiterature and power\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBorders and boundaries\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRationality in literature and its limits\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLanguage, ethnicity, and translation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKorean literature in the changing mediascape.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy introducing new conceptual paradigms to the field of modern Korean literature, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Korean, East Asian, and world literature alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYoon Sun Yang\u003c\/strong\u003e is associate professor of Korean and comparative literature at Boston University, US.
