For the past two decades, South Korea has established itself as a tireless generator of soft power. What began as a mostly inter-Asian phenomenon dubbed the `Korean Wave¿ has since spread across the globe. This class will look into the economic engine that moves South Korea¿s "cultural contents" industry, and will develop analytic tools that examine its various forms: K-pop, K-drama, K-beauty, and more.

KOREA 120: Narratives of Modern and Contemporary Korea (COMPLIT 222, KOREA 220)
This introductory survey will examine the development of South and North Korean literature from the turn of the 20th century until the present. The course will be guided by historical and thematic inquiries as we explore literature in the colonial period, in the period of postwar industrialization, and contemporary literature from the last decade. We will supplement our readings with critical writing about Korea from the fields of cultural studies and the social sciences in order to broaden the terms of our engagement with our primary texts.
