Course Description:
This course explores a cultural history of Korea through tangible and intangible heritages. Heritage is the material and spiritual culture that we have inherited from our ancestors. As a window to understand the history, culture, and people’s lives of Korea, we will examine national treasures, historical artifacts, particularly preserved at Yonsei, and heritage entries registered with UNESCO. Special emphasis will be placed on the interplay between performance and tangible texts, trans-national interactions with neighboring states, and the construction of the cultural identity of Korea. Lectures will be both topical and chronological and are designed to emphasize and expand upon texts, themes or issues, which are deemed important in the study of Korean culture.
