HONR 492 - Seminar: Cinema, Culture, and History in South Korea

  • 3 credits

This CSU faculty-led summer program takes students to Seoul, South Korea to live and learn among international students from around the world at the Ewha International Co-ed summer school at Ewha Women's University. Students will study a survey of post-1945 South Korean cinema from Golden Age classics of the 1950s and 1960s to the rise of new blockbuster hits and art-house films throughout the contemporary period. Week-to-week students will examine cinematic texts within various historical, sociopolitical, and cultural contexts of postcolonial South Korea, paying particular attention to the issues of Japanese colonialism, national division, civil war, U.S. neocolonialism, military dictatorships, the democratic minjung movement, and globalization.

This course meets the All-University Core Curriculum (AUCC) requirements for Social/Behavioral Sciences (Category 3C).
