Focusing on\n                    <jats:italic>b\u00edbo<\/jats:italic>\n                    forests\u2014geomantic forests believed to regulate energy flow between mountains and villages\u2014the paper analyzes how these sites were reclassified as \u201cprotection forests\u201d within the functionalist logic of imperial forestry. Drawing on the framework of boundary objects, the study reveals how the same forests were interpreted both as cosmological entities and as disaster prevention infrastructure. While many entries reduce\n                    <jats:italic>b\u00edbo<\/jats:italic>\n                    forests to technical utilities, others\u2014like the Hanjiwon case\u2014retain traces of\n                    <jats:italic>pungsu<\/jats:italic>\n                    cosmology and present forests as nonhuman actors. This tension highlights the partial and uneven nature of colonial knowledge\u2010making, in which local ontologies were subordinated but not fully erased.
