3 Transforming the Self in Contemporary Korean Ki Suryŏn (氣修練)
Korean ki suryŏn (氣修練 cultivation of body and mind using ki-life
energy) is becoming more popular internationally. GiCheon (氣天), a
particular type of ki suryŏn, is portrayed here as an alchemical practice
of embodied knowledge. The term ‘technologies of the self’ (from Michel
Foucault) means practices of the self, but here also includes technical
tools, such as videos, DVDs, films, and websites. This paper will show
how the visual iconography of DVDs advertising GiCheon reflect the
values of their creators but also are instrumental for self-cultivation by
subtly programming our ways of living, acting, feeling, and perceiving.
And when the human body is represented on screen, as it is in ki suryŏn
DVDs, then this programming intensifies.
