In this course, we will engage in a critical study of representative Korean literary texts of the twentieth century. Texts will be drawn from both the Japanese colonial period (1910-1945) and the post-liberation period (1945-present). We will supplement our reading of literary works with theoretical texts and recent scholarship on modern Korea. In our discussion of works written in the colonial period, we will consider 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.
