This course is designed for those who have successfully completed KREN-311 Integrated Advanced Korean, KREN-313 Advanced Oral Communication or equivalent and want to develop their language skills to a high level in order to address political and social issues in Korean. By looking at narrative as the human’s unique way of making sense of the world, this course examines the theme and form of narratives in contemporary South Korean short stories and films. The student will explore various themes of narratives, such as politics of Memory, Desire, Disaster, Family, Foreign Migrants, North Korean Defectors, and Globalization of Korean Literature and Film. The course also highlights aspects of language in contemporary literature and film that constitute the form of narrative, such as time and space, plot, voice, focalization, speech, and characterization. Use of language will determine how narrative shapes social reality in a particular way. Through this course, the students will learn how narrative is distinct from other kinds of genres in shaping and representing social reality in contemporary Korea, and will acquire the ability to demonstrate their understanding of distinctive viewpoints and world views in Korean literature and film and compare them with their own culture. They will develop their Korean language proficiency through reading, discussion, presentation, and critical writing about Korean literature and film. The student will deal with primary Korean texts and the class will be conducted in Korean.">
