Vengeful Promises: The Agency of Love Oaths as Materially Hybrid Texts in Late Seventeenth-Century Japan East Asian Publishing and Society (IF 0.3) Pub Date : 2022-02-07 Radu Leca
This article focuses on the historical use and meanings of early modern oaths (Jp. kishōmon 起請文). These materially hybrid texts were initially stamped (on one side) and then inscribed by hand in ink (on the other side), often even in blood.

Romancing Precolonial Korea: The Making of Chosŏn Yadam as Heritage Tales in Early Twentieth-Century Korean Publishing East Asian Publishing and Society (IF 0.3) Pub Date : 2021-09-02 Si Nae Park
Early twentieth-century Korean publishing was undergirded by a twofold urgency: the construction of a new inscriptional culture premised on the telos of text production using the Korean writing system and the imperatives of the production of knowledge about Korea’s past against colonial censorship and the colonial episteme. This paper traces early twentieth-century reception of yadam texts from Chosŏn

‘The Wuding Editions’: Printing, Power, and Vernacular Fiction in the Ming Dynasty East Asian Publishing and Society (IF 0.3) Pub Date : 2017-04-20 Scott W. Gregory
