The present volume explores a specific aspect of creativity in South Asian systems of knowledge, literature and rituals. Under the heading of “adaptive reuse,” it discusses the relationship between innovation and perpetuation of earlier forms and contents of knowledge and aesthetic expressions within the process of creating new works. Although this relation rarely became the topic of explicit reflections in the South Asian intellectual traditions, it is here investigated by taking a closer look at the treatment of older materials by later authors.

In 1884, Smithsonian Secretary Spencer Baird appointed J. B. Bernadou, a naval officer, to gather a collection of material culture from the Hermit Kingdom, which had been closed to outsiders until 1882. Baird gave Bernadou the official title of "Smithsonian Attache" to the American Legation. Richly illustrated with beautiful color photographs, An Ethnography of the Hermit Kingdom will interest art-, social-, and diplomatic-historians; anthropologists; linguists; students of Korean culture; and all those who appreciate the aesthetic quality of these objects, and the stories they tell. This ethnographic catalogue of historic Korean objects includes chapters that cover a wide range of pre-industrial material and intellectual resources (including ceramics, textiles, furniture, paintings, manuscripts and maps) that illustrate Korean life styles, values, philosophy, and aesthetics.
