Description

Book Synopsis
Challenges the popular conceptions of transgression as resistance to authority, the collapse of morality, and an attempt at self-empowerment. Examples of transgression from premodern, modern, and contemporary Korea are examined side by side to underscore the possibility of reading transgression in more ways than one.

Trade Review
In the able hands of these excellent scholars, Transgression in Korea is a successful exploration of the trope of transgression and provides intriguing readings of oft-overlooked materials. The volume is a welcome addition to our increasingly sophisticated understanding of the complex processes that undergird Korean contemporary cultural expression."" - Timothy R. Tangherlini, University of California Los Angeles
