Yisang (1910–1937), one of the most renowned and best-studied poets of Korea's colonial period, is usually remembered as a bohemian, as an intoxicated master of modernist language games. But a close reading of the poetologically charged poems with which Yisang introduced himself to his audience as a Koreanlanguage poet in July 1933 reveals that the engagement with Korean history and identity took center place in his own view of his poetical endeavors. However, different from more simple-minded nationalist authors, Yisang recognized the doubleedged quality of "history" and "nation" — constituting both a treasure and a burden. It is argued that this complication of the "love for the nation" instigated by his poetry has been one of the reasons why the political layer of Yisang's poetry has kept being forgotten — notwithstanding repeated rediscoveries — in the scholarship in recentdecades. More than anything, it is his distrust of a celebratory politics of remembrance that makes a celebratory remembrance of Yisang's politics so difficult.

"In response to the recent surge of interest in studying epistemic transfers and changes, this volume assembles an interdisciplinary range of articles that look at the production, consumption and dissemination of knowledge in East Asia, centering on Korea, under the paradigm of knowledge circulation. Applying this heuristic tool offers new perspectives on pre-modern Korea and beyond. It allows for flexibility of scale and thus facilitates the identification of shared processes of appropriation, digestion and re-distribution of ideas, regardless of whether the exchanges take place between states and nations, between social groups, or even between individuals. The articles in this volume stress the spatial and social aspects of the process of knowledge circulation in particular: the role of location and of social networks in the production, evaluation and dissemination of new knowledge"--Provided by publisher

The book consists of studies of six important intellectuals of the Korean late 19thand early 20thcenturies. It shows how they positioned themselves in a period of crisis that necessitated hard choices but also afforded new intellectual and social opportunities.
