AAS 532 - HUM topics in Korean Studies
KOR 532 Humanities Topics in Korean Studies: This course explores the evolution of Korean humanism as reflected in historical scholarship, literary traditions, and cinematic narratives from the late Joseon dynasty to contemporary South Korea. We will examine how core humanistic values have been challenged, transformed, and reimagined through colonial encounters, war, democratization, globalization, and shifting social realities. This course combines close reading of historical and philosophical texts with critical analysis of Korean films that engage with humanistic themes, including democracy, gender equality, social justice, and the negotiation of tradition and modernity. Students will develop advanced skills in historical interpretation, film analysis, and interdisciplinary research, making this course particularly suited for those pursuing academic or professional work in Korean studies and related fields.
