Course Title:
Selling Korea: Tourism and the Curation of Culture
Course Number:
KE2001966
Course Description:
This course is focused on deeply understanding how Korea and Korean culture is being packaged
and presented to both domestic and international audiences for education and entertainment. The
mix of Korean and international students in the class will allow us to investigate the promotion of
Korea from both an insider and an outsider perspective, a goal that can only be achieved through
active class discussion. Students will spend the early part of the course learning useful tools
(theories and frameworks) for analysis of tourism and cultural displays. Students will then conduct
investigations at tourist sites and cultural displays (such as museums and performances). For the
final work of the term, students will put their new skills to use by preparing tourism proposals that
will be presented to the Busan Korean Tourism Organization and/or other local governmental
bodies.
