Arranged around a set of provocative themes, the essays in this
volume engage in the discussion from various critical perspectives
on Korean geography. Part One, ""Geographies of the (Colonial)
City,"" focuses on Seoul during the Japanese colonial occupation
from 1910-1945 and the lasting impact of that period on the
construction of specific places in Seoul. In Part Two,
""Geographies of the (Imagined) Village,"" the authors delve into
the implications for the conceptions of the village of recent
economic and industrial development. In this context, they examine
both constructed space, such as the Korean Folk Village, and rural
villages that were physically transformed through the processes of
rapid modernization.The essays in ""Geographies of Religion"" (Part
Three) reveal how religious sites are historically and
environmentally contested as well as the high degree of mobility
exhibited by sites themselves. Similarly, places that exist at the
margins are powerful loci for the negotiation of identity and
aspects of cultural ideology. The final section, ""Geographies of
the Margin,"" focuses on places that exist at the margins of Korean
society.
