{"product_id":"korea-between-empires-9780231125390","title":"Korea Between Empires","description":"\u003cp\u003eKorea Between Empires chronicles the development of a Korean national consciousness. It focuses on two critical periods in Korean history and asks how key concepts and symbols were created and integrated into political programs to create an original Korean understanding of national identity  the nation-state  and nationalism. Looking at the often-ignored questions of representation  narrative  and rhetoric in the construction of public sentiment  Andre Schmid traces the genealogies of cultural assumptions and linguistic turns evident in Koreas major newspapers during the social and political upheavals of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.  Newspapers were the primary location for the re-imagining of the nation  enabling readers to move away from the conceptual framework inherited from a Confucian and dynastic past toward a nationalist vision that was deeply rooted in global ideologies of capitalist modernity. As producers and disseminators of knowledge about the nation  newspapers mediated perceptions of Koreas precarious place amid Chinese and Japanese colonial ambitions and were vitally important to the rise of a nationalist movement in Korea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45953166966837,"sku":"ByrdShop_0231125399","price":45.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780231125390.jpg?v=1788180469","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/korea-between-empires-9780231125390","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
