Abstract

Der Band präsentiert die Ergebnisse einer internationalen Tagung, die Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaftler, Theologen, Archäologen und Historiker, Anthropologen und Rechtshistoriker zusammenführte. Zentrale Gegenstände sind die Voraussetzungen der Evangelisierung Amerikas in der europäischen Renaissance, in etablierten Verfahren der Katechese sowie in der Kosmovision indianischer Kulturen, ferner die Prozesse, die sich aus diesem Zusammentreffen im religiösen Kernbereich ergeben, auch in den angrenzenden Feldern der Rechtspraxis, Grammatikschreibung, des Buchmarktes sowie in literarischen und symbolischen Formen des Widerstands und der Integration europäischer und amerikanischer Traditionen. Die Positionen der historischen Akteure variieren extrem. Von den utopischen Grundideen der Franziskaner zur Ahndung indianischer Häresie, vom zentralen Problem der rechtlichen Stellung der Indianer zu deren spontanem Verständnis der Heiligen, von andinen Konzepten von Zeit und Raum zur Gelehrsamkeit der Kolonialzeit, von der grammatischen Erforschung des Quechua reicht der Bogen hin zu detailliertesten Beichtspiegeln in Nordwestmexiko und den Strategien der Huicholes bis in die Gegenwart.

Abstract

Rules of the House examines the transformation of the Korean family during and after Japanese colonial rule. Through in-depth reading of civil litigation records, the book shows how the Japanese colonial legal system transformed Korean families from the traditional patrilineal family system into small, patriarchal households. The new domestic pattern proved remarkably durable, forming the basis of postcolonial family life. Women feature prominently in the book. Increasingly marginalized by patriarchy, women embodied the fault line between one family system as it receded and the other as it expanded under the auspices of Japanese colonial law. As a consequence, women’s rights to family property, inheritance, divorce, and adoption of heirs were frequently challenged by family members. Far from being quiet victims, these women brought their cases to the colonial courts and won a surprising number of cases. The book highlights how legal discourse about women’s rights in colonial civil courts articulated the transformation of the family.

Abstract

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program for monographs. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more.Rules of the House offers a dynamic revisionist account of the Japanese colonial rule of Korea (1910-1945) by examining the roles of women in the civil courts. Challenging the dominant view that women were victimized by the Japanese family laws and its patriarchal biases, Sungyun Lim argues that Korean women had to struggle equally against Korean patriarchal interests. Moreover, women were not passive victims; instead, they proactively struggled to expand their rights by participating in the Japanese colonial legal system. In turn, the Japanese doctrine of promoting progressive legal rights would prove advantageous to them. Following female plaintiffs and their civil disputes from the precolonial Choson dynasty through colonial times and into postcolonial reforms, this book presents a new and groundbreaking story about Korean women's legal struggles, revealing their surprising collaborative relationship with the colonial state.
