- Tantárgy tartalma
- During the semester, we will examine the relationship between film and social history. We will explore how films represent and recreate different social eras and historical events. The semester will begin with readings from the literature on the relationship between film and history, followed by an examination of representative film examples in relation to the representation of history. Most, but not all, of the examples will be drawn from Korean history and film history, but we will also examine other examples, primarily from Asia. In preparation for classes, students are required to read English-language academic texts, and each class is expected to be accompanied by a feature film, which students must watch individually in advance of the class. Some of the planned topics: Cinematic Representation of Colonial Korea Representation of "Comfort Women" in Korean cinema The Korean War on Film The Cinematic Representation of the Democratic Transition in South-Korea and elsewhere Films of the Gwangju Uprising
