Introduction
Abstract
This publication presents nine selected papers from the First International Conference of the East and West in Korean Studies Project (AKS-2020-INC-2230010), Cultural Exchanges between Korea and the West: Artifacts and Intangible Heritage, which was held at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice in May 2021. From an interdisciplinary approach and transnational perspectives, scholars from various fields, such as history, heritage studies, history of art, religious studies, and museum studies, focused on cultural exchanges and historical encounters between Korea and the West from premodern times up to the present, in terms of cultural artifacts and intangible heritage. Three papers, in particular, examine the earliest photographic records of Korea by Western travelers and diplomats in the late Chosŏn period.
