(Intensive
Literary/Classical Chinese Training Course for Students and Junior Scholars)
The
Jangseogak Archives at the Academy of Korean Studies is accepting applications
for 2019 Jangseogak Hanmun (Classical Chinese) Summer Workshop, a three-week
intensive on-campus language course from 1st July to 19th July, 2019. We
welcome application from undergraduate students, graduate students or advanced
degree holders of Korean Studies and/or East Asian Studies. Applicants must have
studied at least one year of Classical Chinese or completed comparable course
in Asian Studies.
The
workshop will run for 6 hours from Monday to Friday for three weeks (morning
lectures and afternoon practicum for translation), and will also include field
trips to explore historic sites related to the reading materials addressed in
the workshop.
The
workshop aims at creating a global knowledge-building community of Korean
studies. All lectures and discussions at the workshop will be conducted in
English; at the same time, it will require translation of the original sources
into English. Apart from the translation project, each participant will write a
no more than ten-to fifteen-page introductory article on one primary source of
his/her own choice from a list of fifty texts derived from the Archives (to be
completed within six months from the completion of the workshop). The fifty
texts will be carefully selected by the scholars of the Archives in
consideration of the participants’ expertise and interests. The authorship of
each translated piece and article will be accredited to the individual
contributor; however, both the translated sources and the introductory articles
will belong to the public domain of Korean studies and be published online for
academic purposes.
The Academy of Korean Studies will provide the participants with round-trip airfare (no
more than 1,800 USD), tuition, and board and lodging. Undergraduate and
graduate students are required to submit a letter of recommendation from their
advisors.
