The Korea Now Podcast #109 (Literature Series) – Daniel Pieper– 'Redemption and Regret in the Writings of James Scarth Gale'

This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Daniel Pieper. They speak about James Scarth Gale and the significance of his translation work, the extraordinary upheaval and change that he witnessed as a missionary in late-Choson Korea, how he saw the changing face of Korea and the importance of Korean literature, the accusations that Gale was a pro-Japanese sympathiser during the colonial period, Gale's view of the existing religious landscape inside Korea, how he balanced a deep affection for Old Korea whilst also seeking to modernise and convert it to Christianity, and how we should understand Gale's legacy today both inside and outside of Korea. Daniel Pieper is a Lecturer in Korean Studies at Monash University. He received his PhD in Asian Studies from the University of British Columbia. His current research focuses on the emergence of vernacular Korean as a discrete subject in the modern school, the textual differentiation process of cosmopolitan Hanmun and vernacular Korean, and the role of language ideology in directing language standardization in pre-colonial and colonial-era Korea. His most recent book is titled Redemption and Regret: Modernizing Korea in the Writings of James Scarth Gale and examines themes of vernacularization, linguistic modernity, and literary translation in the missionary's unpublished writings. *** Redemption and Regret: The Ambivalence of Korean Modernization in the Writings of James Scarth Gale, Missionary to Korea (1888-1927) Redemption and Regret (utpdistribution.com) *** The Korea Now Podcast (Literature Series) – Daniel Pieper– 'Hangul - The History, Evolution and Nationalism of the Korean Language' The Korea Now Podcast: The Korea Now Podcast (Literature Series) – Daniel Pieper– 'Hangul - The History, Evolution and Nationalism of the Korean Language' (libsyn.com) *** Daniel Pieper's academic publications can be found at: Support via Patreon – Support via PayPal – Shop – Support via Bitcoin - 31wQMYixAJ7Tisp773cSvpUuzr2rmRhjaW Website – Libsyn – Youtube – Twitter – Academia.edu – Research Gate –
