Abstract

The study of calamities and abnormal phenomena in ancient times has always been the focus of Korean scholars. In recent years, two monographs have been published, together with 14 academic dissertations (including 11 masters' theses and 3 doctoral dissertations) and 37 periodical theses. They cover research fields of the totality of calamities and abnormal phenomena, the relationship between calamities and abnormal phenomena with politics, the thoughts on calamities and abnormal phenomena, as well as representative figures and books on that topic. This paper briefly summarizes and analyzes these researches on ancient calamities and abnormal phenomena in South Korea in this period, in order to provide some reference for domestic research in that field.
