Encapsulating Neo-Confucianism and the Great Learning in 16th century Korea: Yi Yulgok’s Outline of the Sagely Learning, Sŏnghak chipyo 聖學輯要 (1575)2016 •
The Great Learning has certainly been one of the most important texts of the Korean reception of Neo-Confucianism, for it provided a stimulating model to build up and strengthen the Chosŏn state. The Yuan orthodox understanding of the Song Neo-Confucian exegesis of the Great Learning conveyed a rather simple message, acceptable for both the Yi kings and their elites in search for a balance of power. The major characteristic of the Korean philosophical exegesis of the ‘Learning of the Emperor’ and the Great Learning paradigm was the focus on the necessary interaction and very close relationship between kings and scholar-officials. These ideas were developed at court, in royal lessons and daily audiences. The first outstanding commentaries on the Great Learning and especially Zhen Dexiu’s Daxue yanyibu, which was the reference text in Chosŏn court from the 14th to the 16th century, were royal commands. Yet they mainly illustrate the self-interests of the scholar-officials anxious to maintain their own social and political status in the new regime officially intended to empower kings. In this general framework, Yi Yulgok’s Sŏnghak chipyo might be regarded as both the continuation of previous tendencies and the dawn of a new era. When Neo-Confucianism became in the late 16th century a significant part of the identity and distinctive culture of the social and political elite trying to implement its ideas at both central and local levels, the Korean exegesis of the Great Learning became paradoxically more idealistic and moral. It might be said that, maybe for the first time in Korean history, Confucianism started being a holistic Weltanshauung rather than a vague reservoir used in political strategies. So, on similar Neo-Confucian grounds, the authoritarian Ming China produced the Daxue yanyibu, a technical textbook dedicated to an anonymous body of scholar-officials resembling much today’s civil servants, whereas Chosŏn Korea gave birth to the Outline of the Sagely Learning, a jewel of the elitist culture of an aristocratic bureaucracy embodied in iconic figures like Yulgok Yi I whose portrait is even printed on South Korean bank notes nowadays.

(Journal Article) "The Sound of Learning the Confucian Classics in Chosŏn Korea," Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies 79 1/2 (2019)2019 •
This article explores instantiations of cosmopolitan-vernacular mediation within the sinographic cosmopolis. Placing the publication of the Chosŏn (1392–1910) Vernacularized Classics, published by the Office of Review and Rectification, within the larger context of evolving reading technologies and state Confucianism, this article highlights how the Chosŏn state mobilized orality (utterance) and aurality (hearing) to supply Chosŏn readers with the voice of an imaginary tutor who specializes in vocalization that they could simulate. This standardized vocalization recipe became the representative sound of learning in Chosŏn as the practice of simulating the tutor's voice became a normalized part of preparing for the civil service examinations. This article shows how the creation of The Vernacularized Classics generated a new erudite linguistic register that shaped the soundscape of Chosŏn society.

Two Millenia of Sinology: The Korean Reception, Curation, and Reinvention of Cultural Knowledge from China2023 •
The tale of Korean Sinology is as dramatic as that of Korea itself, which has moved from being a faithful periphery of the Chinese civilization to a newly rising economic power in the modern world. This article begins with a survey of some distinctive features of premodern Korean scholarly works by the end of the Chosŏn dynasty from the perspective of Sinology. Then it moves on to modern scholarship, focusing mostly on the field of Chinese history, which I think is the most active and innovative among the several different fields in today's Korean Sinology. The history of Korean Sinology is a telling case study that illustrates how humanistic learning is deeply connected to fundamental aspects of a society's politics, economics, and culture at a given moment in time.
