This course engages in a critical study of representative Korean literary
texts of the twentieth century. Texts are drawn from both the Japanese
colonial period (1910-1945) and the post-liberation period (1945-present).
Reading of literary works are supplemented with theoretical texts and
recent scholarship on modern Korea. Discussion of works written in the
colonial period, considers the formation of "modern literature," the
emergence of rival literary camps, representations of gender, nationalism,
assimilation, and resistance against Japanese rule. Topics central to the
Korean postcolonial experience include national division, war, the
emergence of women writers, rapid industrialization, and
authoritarianism.
