ASCL 60.30 Modern Korean Literature in a Global Context

With our understanding of Korea and Korean literature increasingly reaching beyond the confines of the peninsula, this course explores modern Korean literatures both from the Korean peninsula and in diaspora. It will introduce participants to canonical works in modern Korean literature and well-known works from Korean diaspora communities in Japan, the US, and China, as well as to the critical discussions surrounding them. We will closely examine how each work, with its particular content and form, engages with the historical development and contemporary dynamics of modern Korea and Korean diaspora communities. From literary and cultural perspectives, this course addresses and problematizes some of the most difficult issues that modern Korea has been working hard to deal with, including colonial modernity, the US occupation and the division, democratic movement and trauma, overseas Koreans, gender and sexuality, and so on.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
