NARRATIVE AND IMAGE IN MODERN KOREAN LITERATURE(LECTURE IN ENGLISH)

20세기동안의 한국 현대 문학과 영화제작의 전체적인 내용에 대해 다룰 것입니다. 이 수업의 목적은 문화를 통해서 다시 한번 우리의 지배적인 역사학에 대해 생각하게 만들게 될 것입니다. 예를들면, ‘제국주의,’ ‘도시화,’ ‘자본주의,’ ‘성별의식,’ ‘민족주의’의 개념적인 해석을 탐색하게 하고 도전을 하겠금 만들 것입니다. 수업을 진행하는 동안 여러분은 이와 같은 질문을 할 것이라 예상됩니다: 역사적, 문학적, 시각적으로 봤을 때 어떤 식으로 비슷한 점과 다른 점을 표현할 수 있을까? 문화 통해서 어떤 식으로 한국 근대화를 접할 수 있을까?
