Sommario/riassunto

Lady Hyegyong's memoirs, which recount the chilling murder of her husband by his father, form one of the best known and most popular classics of Korean literature. From 1795 until 1805 Lady Hyegyong composed this masterpiece, depicting a court life Shakespearean in its pathos, drama, and grandeur. Presented in its social, cultural, and historical contexts, this first complete English translation opens a door into a world teeming with conflicting passions, political intrigue, and the daily preoccupations of a deeply intelligent and articulate woman. JaHyun Kim Haboush's accurate, fluid translation captures the intimate and expressive voice of this consummate storyteller. Reissued nearly



twenty years after its initial publication with a new foreword by Dorothy Ko, The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyong is a unique exploration of Korean selfhood and an extraordinary example of autobiography in the premodern era.

Sommario/riassunto

The fourth edition of the Osdotta seminar, was held in Turin from 10-13 September 2008. The Seminar, set up as a moment of reflection about the tendencies that characterize the internal research of the Technology of Architecture, expanded its area of interest, opening up to different and wider horizons for new objectives of research. The program of the three days of meetings developed, as in the preceding editions, with an organic series of thematic tables merging in the final round table that hosted the discussions and the verification of the three external valuators.
