World History: Group II
Course Number:
UIC1551
Course Description:
This course serves as an overview of world history in the Korean context. This idea
essentially entails a history of Korea according to the peninsula's cultural
interactions with the rest of the world---particularly East Asia and the West. To
that end, treatments of Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Indian, and Yellow River
civilizations (civilizations typically associated with conventional world history
classes) will NOT turn up in this course. Through such a reflection, we can explore
the ways through which the interplay of cultures influenced the Korean peninsula.
Rather than study Korea’s cultural phenomena as belief systems divorced from
each other, we will analyze these cultural expressions as products of forces like
syncretism (convergence), conflict, and/or dialogue with other ideas. Of course,
ideas and achievements within these cultural expressions also evolved individually.
