Note | The ambiguity of violence : ideology, state, and religion in the late Chosŏn dynasty / by Franklin David Rausch. Thesis (Ph.D. Asian Studies)--University of British Columbia, 2011. Includes bibliographical references (p.319-343).
Abstract While Hwang and Neo-Confucian officials both believed that violence could be legitimately deployed in order to actualize the worldviews mandated by their respective religions, the centrality of religion had largely been eclipsed by the secular ideologies of nationalism, Social-Darwinism, and Pan-Asianism, by An‟s time. This situation led to a struggle within and between An and foreign missionaries over the proper relationship between nation, state, and religion, and eventually to An‟s decision to kill Itō for both religious and secular reasons, even as the Catholic Church forbade violent resistance to Japan‟s colonial project. Through a comparison of the violence associated with Hwang and An, I show that religion can both encourage and discourage violence at the same time, and that its influence can be shaped, magnified, or diminished by secular worldviews, proving the difficulty in simply labeling violence as “religious” or “secular,” and the essentially ambiguous nature of violence. I therefore propose that, in contravention to scholars who argue that religion is somehow more violent than secular ideologies, it is not so much whether a type of violence can be labeled as secular or religious, but the contents of that worldview, its relationship with other worldviews within an individual, and the historical context in which it is actualized, that is more important in determining its propensity for violence.

Note | Catholics and anti-Catholicism in Chosŏn Korea / Don Baker with Franklin Rausch. Includes a complete translation of an anti-Catholic essay and an annotated translation of the Silk letter of Hwang Sayŏng. Includes bibliographical references (pages 281-299) and index. Part I : The road to persecution -- Korea at the end of the eighteenth century -- Confucian criticisms of Catholicism -- The birth of the Korean Catholic Church -- A decade of hopes and fears -- Nationalism and evaluations of Hwang Sayŏng and his Silk Letter -- Part II : In their own words -- A Conversation on Catholicism by Sunam Ahn Chŏngbok -- The Silk letter of Hwang Sayŏng. Korea's first significant encounter with the West occurred in the last quarter of the eighteenth century when a Korean Catholic community emerged on the peninsula. Decades of persecution followed, resulting in the deaths of thousands of Korean Catholics. Don Baker provides an invaluable analysis of late-Choson (1392-1897) thought, politics, and society to help readers understand the response of Confucians to Catholicism and of Korean Catholics to years of violent harassment. His analysis is informed by two remarkable documents expertly translated with the assistance of Franklin Rausch and annotated here for the first time: an anti-Catholic essay written in the 1780s by Confucian scholar Ahn Chongbok (1712-1791) and a firsthand account of the 1801 anti-Catholic persecution by one of its last victims, the religious leader Hwang Sayong (1775-1801). Confucian assumptions about Catholicism are revealed in Ahn's essay, Conversation on Catholicism. The work is based on the scholar's exchanges with his son-in-law, who joined the small group of Catholics in the 1780s. Ahn argues that Catholicism is immoral because it puts more importance on the salvation of one's soul than on what is best for one's family or community. Conspicuously absent from his Conversation is the reason behind the conversions of his son-in-law and a few other young Confucian intellectuals. Baker examines numerous Confucian texts of the time to argue that, in the late eighteenth century, Korean Confucians were tormented by a growing concern over human moral frailty. Some among them came to view Catholicism as a way to overcome their moral weakness, become virtuous, and, in the process, gain eternal life. These anxieties are echoed in Hwang's Silk Letter, in which he details for the bishop in Beijing his persecution and the decade preceding it. He explains why Koreans joined (and some abandoned) the Catholic faith and their devotion to the new religion in the face of torture and execution. Together the two texts reveal much about not only Korean beliefs and values of two centuries ago, but also how Koreans viewed their country and their king as well as China and its culture. -- From book jacket. |

Note | Koyohan chongsori 고요한 종소리 / Chang Chŏng-ok 장 정옥 [Jang Jeong-ok]. 성바오로 Seong Baoro Sŏng Paoro. 차례 외로운 난새 ‘고요한 종소리’는 조선시대 천주교 박해를 역사적 바탕으로 하고 있다. 이야기의 중심은 황사영이 ‘백서’를 쓰게 된 배경과 그의 아들 경한, 그리고 정하상의 이야기가 담담히 ‘여수리’의 시선으로 펼쳐진다. 황사영의 뜻이 이어진 정하상, 그리고 육신을 이어받은 황경한의 이야기는 두 줄기의 강물이 되어 때로는 격하게, 때때로 잠잠히 여울져 흐르다 멈추어 여수리를 사이에 두고 서로를 넘나든다. 그 질곡의 회오리에 갇혀있는 여수리와 경한의 상처를 낫게 한 것은 거친 모래바람이 부는 사막이었다. 그러나 차고 시린 사막의 밤은 모래 폭풍 속으로 사라져 조용히 잠들어 있는 누란왕국의 아름다운 공주의 이야기만큼 슬픈 바람의 노래를 지금도 부르고 있는 듯하다. 그런데 왜 지금 갑자기 ‘나라를 팔아먹으려고 한 반역자’라고 단죄한 ‘황사영’인가? “양날의 검처럼 찬반론이 대립하는 백서의 정체성은 종교의 자유와 생명의 존엄성에 있다. 소설은 대박청래를 골자로 한 편지의 내용이 옳고 그름을 따지기 이전에, 권력을 정치적 보복에 악용한 지배계층의 명분 없는 환란을 먼저 꼬집고, 생명의 존귀함을 망각한 저들이 선량한 백성들에게 무슨 짓을 했는지 말해주고 있다.
정말 황사영이 역적일까?
