Abstract

Martina Deuchler’s Under Ancestors’ Eyes: Kinship, Status and Locality in Pre-Modern Korea, is a vast and ambitious work that seeks to explore the development of kinship – and the persistent importance of kinship and inherited social status – in pre-modern Korea from the early Silla dynasty to 1894. The bulk of the book, which is concerned with Andong and Namwŏn from the fifteenth century to the nineteenth, makes extensive use of documents from aristocratic sajok household of those areas to reconstruct the development of sajok status during the Chosŏn period. She works with the ambitious goal of tracing a “native kinship ideology” that placed the social maintenance of aristocratic social status above court politics. As she writes in the conclusion: “The indigenous kinship ideology, with its celebration of status hierarchy and status exclusivity, ran like a red thread through Korea’s history from early Silla to the late nineteenth century” (408). The book is organized into five parts, each divided into several chapters. Part I, “Foundations” (15-76), explores the trajectory of a hereditary
Martina Deuchler的《在祖先的注视下:前现代朝鲜的亲属关系、地位和地域》是一部宏大而雄心勃勃的作品,旨在探索从新罗王朝早期到1894年前现代朝鲜的亲属关系的发展,以及亲属关系和继承的社会地位的持久重要性。该书以15世纪至19世纪的安东和Namwŏn为主题,大量使用了安东和Namwŏn地区贵族赛约克家族的文献,重建了Chosŏn时期赛约克地位的发展。她的目标是追寻一种“本土亲属意识形态”,这种意识形态将贵族社会地位的社会维护置于宫廷政治之上。正如她在结论中所写的那样:“从新罗早期到19世纪晚期,本土的亲属意识形态,以及它对地位等级和地位排他性的庆祝,就像一条红线贯穿了朝鲜的历史”(408)。全书共分为五个部分,每个部分又分为几个章节。第一部分,“基础”(15-76),探讨了一个世袭的轨迹
