The Tale of Ch’unhyang Beyond Korea: Translation, Narrative, and Performance October 20, 2017 - October 21, 2017 The 25th HMS Colloquium examines the Tale of Ch'unhyang, one of the most famous classical novels written during the Chosŏn period (1392-1910). Scholars of Korean literature will analyze how the novel has been translated inside and outside of Korea since the turn of the twentieth century. They will explore the challenges of translation in multiple languages such as Japanese, Chinese, English, and French, and how the story evolved in various cultures in ways that diverged from the original version. We will also examine how the Tale of Ch'unhyang has been reconstructed in other genres such as p'ansori (Korean musical storytelling) and film. The 25th HMS Colloquium is organized by the GW Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures, co-organized by GW Institute for Korean Studies, and co-sponsored by Literature Translation Institute of Korea, the Korea Foundation, and the GW Sigur Center for Asian Studies. This event will be held in a span of two days with the p’ansori performance on the first day followed by the talks on the next day.
