Description
This course invites students to explore the dynamic relationship among national identity, collective memory, media technology, and cultural industry in the contemporary context of Korean socioeconomics and politics. The course will provoke students to critically appreciate the roles that mass media (e.g., photographs, motion pictures, statues, memorials, and museums) play in (re)constructing, contesting, and legitimizing the narrative of historical events in hegemony.
