Course Description:
This survey course examines Korean history, culture, and society from prehistoric times to the end
of the Joseon Dynasty. It also follows Korean "traditions" including traditions of marriage,
childbirth, ancestral veneration, traditional performance, religion, food, etiquette and more. In most
of these cases we will be examining the question are the thing we call "traditional" actually that old?
How long have people been doing XXXX in this way? How is XXXX changing as Korea changes?
We will also utilize primary sources, to demonstrate the sources from which history books are
drawn, to assist us in drawing our own interpretations, and to experience, as closely as possible, the
voices of the past. These range from the diaries of an admiral, the declaration of a king, to the words
to a shamanic ritual.
