At its core, the volume works to foreground non-human agents that have long been marginalized in Korean studies, placing flora, fauna, mineral deposits, and climatic conditions that have hitherto been confined to footnotes front and center. In the process, the authors blaze new trails through Korea's social and physical landscapes.What emerges is a deeper appreciation of the environmental conflicts that have animated life in Korea. The authors show how natural processes have continually shaped the course of events on the peninsula—how floods, droughts, famines, fires, and pests have inexorably impinged on human affairs—and how different forces have been mobilized by the state to variously, control, extract, modernize, and showcase the Korean landscape. Forces of Nature suggestively reveals Korea's physical landscape to be not so much a passive context to Korea's history, but an active agent in its transformation and reinvention across centuries.Human beingsEffect of environment onKorea (North)HistoryHuman beingsEffect of environment onKorea (South)HistoryHuman beingsEffect of environment onKoreaHistoryHuman ecologyKorea (North)HistoryHuman ecologyKorea (South)HistoryHuman ecologyKoreaHistoryNature and civilizationKorea (North)HistoryNature and civilizationKorea (South)HistoryNature and civilizationKoreaHistoryNatureEffect of human beings onKorea (North)HistoryNatureEffect of human beings onKorea (South)HistoryNatureEffect of human beings onKoreaHistorySOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / Asian Studiesbisacshenvironmental history of Korea, Korean environmentalism, environmental politics in Korea, nature and wildlife in Korea, industrial pollution, climate change in Korea, Korean environmental humanities, natural disaster in Korea, Korean beef industry.Human beingsEffect of environment onHistory.Human beingsEffect of environment onHistory.Human beingsEffect of environment onHistory.Human ecologyHistory.Human ecologyHistory.Human ecologyHistory.Nature and civilizationHistory.Nature and civilizationHistory.Nature and civilizationHistory.NatureEffect of human beings onHistory.NatureEffect of human beings onHistory.NatureEffect of human beings onHistory.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / Asian Studies.304.2Eriksson Fortier Ewactbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbFedman Davidctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbFedman Davidedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMcCormick Sooactbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbJolivette Lindsay S.
