Courses
This lecture aims to establish a basic understanding of Korean cultural history by reviewing the foundation of Korean culture through literary history and organizing its values.
- Level : Beginner
- Instructor : Jang Moon-seok
In this course we will examine the flow of contemporary Korean literature history from the perspective of the emerging and replacement of a new generation. According to Raymond Williams, culture is changing through dynamic transformation of “the residual,” “the dominant,” and “the emergent.” Through this viewpoint, contemporary literature can be interpreted by constant replacement of a new generation in creation of acceptance.
- Level : Beginner
- Instructor : Seo Deok-soon
The language we are using needs to be studied in detail from the perspective of human cultural genes. It is unfortunate, however, that such research is not being conducted in depth. If human genes are transmitted through our bodies, the cultural genes are transmitted through language. Therefore, just like human DNA is being studied, we have to analyze and study the human language. So, what cultural genes can be found in the Korean language. Of course, these are not only Korean genes like the human ones. The cultures have changed constantly influencing each other. And matured. They are changing even now. Through examining the cultural genes of Koreans in Korean language, we will learn to understand Korean language and Korean’s attitudes, values, and feelings toward life. And we will learn to draw a cultural genetic map of Koreans through Korean language.
