KORLIT 231:
Topics in Korean Literature
Colonial period fiction is often described in binary terms in Korean literary history, via genre (modernism/realism), politics (resistance/collaboration), aesthetics (verisimilitude/style), interpretive focus (content/form), subject (collective/individual), and class (engaged/elite), among others. This term we will focus on major works and authors but will also raise questions regarding the status of cultural production under colonial rule. nPrerequisite: KORGEN 120/220
