K605 (Online) KOREA: FROM MODERNIZATION TO
GLOBALIZATION

This course involves dialogue about globalization mostly from a historical and cultural point of view. We will look at the history of 20th century Korea and examine the special circumstances of the westernization and modernization process throughout the century to better understand how the 1990s globalization concept fits into peninsular history and culture; how its mechanisms and transformations work; and what the effects on Korean society and culture are.

Instructor: Frank Hoffmann, Ph.D. (Cand.), Harvard University, IIC Faculty.
Already a kind of celebrity in Korean studies circles, Frank Hoffmann is perhaps the quintessential Korea scholar. His Korean studies website, for many years at Harvard (which can now be found at hyperlink
http://www.iic.edu/hoffmann/) has over the last several years served as the most widely used gateway to Korean studies on the Internet. Another high profile project has been The Harvard Korean Studies Bibliography: 80,000 References on Korea on CD-ROM, which he initiated and developed. Frank is preeminent in the field of modern Korean history and art history, having been published extensively in specialized journals (Korean Studies, Asien, et al.) as well as in renowned popular magazines such as W_lgan Chos_n. Besides being a prolific writer, he has also curated Korean art shows and has amassed an impressive private collection of paintings by Korean and Southeast Asian artists, some of which were on display at the 2000 Kwangju Biennale. Art in America will be publishing his article about the Kwangju Biennale 2000 in October. His main research interests are colonial period art and culture, modern North Korean culture, Korean diaspora, Korean American art, social and intellectual history and art history from the 18th century to the present.

K704 (Online) CLASSICAL KOREAN LITERATURE

By exploring literary works of various periods, this course seeks to understand the lifestyles, customs, religious beliefs and social systems of the Korean people. Rather than focusing on the upper classes, it attempts to examine the lives of the common people through source materials such as poem-songs, short stories, myths, shaman songs and oral legends.

Instructor: Michael J. Pettid, Ph.D., University of Hawaii at Manoa is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Korean literature at the prestigious Academy of
Korean Studies in Seoul (Songnam), Korea. Dr. Pettid is a specialist in oral, folk, and classical Korean literature. Among his interests is the genre of shaman songs, which requires an interdisciplinary approach involving familiarity with shaman rituals, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, folk religions, performing arts, and even gender issues. Dr. Pettids sophisticated and extensive analysis of Pari Kongju (Song of the Abandoned Princess), accompanied by a full English translation, is a pioneering effort in that it is the first such attempt ever made. Besides Korean literature, his contributions add to the corpus of knowledge in the fields of folklore, anthropology, history, comparative religion, and social and cultural studies. Presently, Dr. Pettid is conducting research into the shaman songs and myths of Cheju Island, which offer substantial differences from those on the Korean peninsula. Since 1998 Dr. Pettid has been the editor of The Review of Korean Studies and is currently Editor-in-Chief of the English version of the multi-volume "Encyclopedia of Korean Culture" soon to be published by The Academy of Korean Studies. He has also been a visiting fellow at The Australia National University where he helped to compile the Encyclopedia of Korea as an Associate Editor.
