요약This dissertation examines Korea's place in the world and its fluid relationship to the increasingly global reach of modern time at the turn of the twentieth century. When the Choson dynasty opened its ports and established relations with foreign powers after the Kanghwa Treaty of 1876, it encountered a whole new world with different time-keeping methods. That encounter precipitated significant sociopolitical transformation in Korea as it became incorporated into a global temporal system embodied in the twenty-four-hour clock, seven-day week, and Gregorian solar calendar; that modern form of time was considered to be the universal standard by the United States, Europe, and Japan. This study explores the multifaceted ways in which the concept of modern time was shaped, disseminated, and contested on the peninsula when Korea radically changed from being one of China's tributary states, to becoming a sovereign nation, and then a Japanese colony. I follow that shifting geopolitical landscape and highlight its connection with the new temporal order to shed light on the reconfiguration of Choson society based on modern time and the serious challenge that posed to pre-existing heterogeneous temporalities in Korea. I focus on interactions between modern temporality, state power, and social forces to show that Korean bureaucrats, journalists, and colonial authorities, among others, produced specific discourses of time and integrated them into the state apparatus to discipline the body politic.While acknowledging a commonly held view that local ideas of time were largely eclipsed by the standardized time that accompanied widespread modernization, I emphasize the multiple ways in which Koreans struggled to retain their discordant temporal knowledge and practices within the universalizing tendencies that codified modern time. Choson reformers and intellectuals, who first adopted the Gregorian calendar through their diplomatic missions and travels abroad, promoted it as a beneficial part of Western civilization and co-created a solar-based calendrical order with Japanese colonial officials from the 1890s through the 1900s. But the vast majority of Koreans, with their unique vision of the world and their place in it, were far less sanguine about modern time and refused to fully accept it until the end of the colonial period; they simultaneously challenged the universalizing notion of modern time and Japanese colonial hegemony by maintaining their inherited ways of reckoning time and the ancient lunar calendar as a means to preserve their collective memories and religious rituals. Therefore, this dissertation disputes the narrative of modernity's seamless globalization through the vivid Korean example of local resistance to Western and Japanese claims regarding the universality of modern time.
