Abstract
Modern domesticity in colonial-era Korea has generally been understood using the twin parameters of nationalism and colonialism. Much less attention has been paid to the impact of a transpacific network-mainly between the United States and Korea through Christian missionary societies-on the formation of modern domesticity before, during, and after Japanese colonial rule. This article examines the ways in which Korea's modern domesticity was shaped by not only Japanese colonial policies but also the notion of modernity that was transmitted, reinterpreted, and performed through the transpacific network that had formed among the Korean elite and American missionaries. Taking the idea of "modern home" as a key locus where national, colonial, and missionary projects converged, this article demonstrates how in colonial-era Korea the intimate private sphere was a dynamic site that historians can use to uncover the confluence of interaction between the local, national, and global.
