Modern Koreans tend to think that what
they now call "tradition" dates back to very ancient times. In fact, however,
the majority of what is referred to as tradition was a relatively modern
invention of the 19th century, during the late Joseon Dynasty. This talk will
examine the arts of the late Joseon period, which is thought to best represent a
modern sense of 'Koreanness.' It will argue that the Korean yearning for
disorderliness and spontaneity is embodied in countless artworks from this
period, as artisans tried to reflect their longing for absence of order in their
works by trying to avoid human's artificial intervention, and by leaving natural
materials as they were. This spontaneity can also seen in Korean traditional
music and dance, which incorporates much improvisation and spontaneity, and
which valued performers' own interpretation more highly than imitating their
masters' style. In this way, this talk will examine how this concept of
spontaneity is manifested in each genre of Korean
arts.
