This is the first volume fully theorizing the Korean folk dance tradition. Folk dances from various regions are introduced and their characteristics are discussed. The underlying spirit of Korean folk dance comes from Eastern religion and philosophy, and its profound spiritual background arises from the rhythm of nature, which arises from the state of self-renunciation. Korean dance reflects an accord between labor and art which connects work, shaman rites, amusements, and drama into one comprehensive art. Each dance movement is a condensation of power, as is the form and composition of the dance.

“Modern Korean Artists,” a compilation of articles about contemporary artists from the quarterly magazine Koreana (2000-2008), offers an opportunity for readers to better understand and appreciate Korea’s modern arts, related to a variety of genres, ranging from the fine arts to Korean film. Although the entire spectrum of Korea’s modern arts and artists cannot be fully dealt with in a single publication such as this, it does include a close-up look of several key figures who have contributed to advancement of the modern arts scene in Korea.
