Korean Carthography - Chosŏn in Regional Context from 14th untill 19th Century
Louthanová, Terezie ; Šamánková, Karolína (advisor) ; Mazaná, Vladislava (referee)
This thesis analyses Korean maps made by Koreans during the Chosŏn kingdom period from its beginning until the arrival of protestant missionaries to the Korean peninsula, which is when Korea was exposed to the direct influence of the western sciences. The first part of this thesis introduces the topics of cartography, the history of cartography, korean cartography during the Chosŏn period and the wider cartographic contexts in the East Asia region. The second part contains the analysis of the maps which depict Chosŏn in the regional context, that is, world or regional maps and maps of the border areas. The purpose of the analysis is to understand how the maps reflect Korean perception of the world and of the region Chosŏn is a part of during the time of their creation and which art genres, political relations with neighbouring countries and religious or philosophical beliefs are expressed in the maps.
