RELIGIOUS TRADITIONS IN KOREA

In this course, we will explore the histories, doctrines, rituals, and practices of the major religious traditions of Korea, including Buddhism, Confucianism, and Christianity as well as Shamanism and new religions. We will look at how these religions have interacted with each other, as well as the ways in which they have been both influenced and been shaped by Korean culture and politics. We will also pay
close attention to the ways in which Korea has developed its own distinctive religious traditions on the basis of active interactions with those of other countries: Korea was exposed to Buddhism, Confucianism,
and Catholicism through China, as well as Protestantism which was brought directly from the West. We will explore how Koreans not only transformed these imported traditions and incorporated elements of
their own indigenous traditions to meet their own religious needs, but also served as active agents or participants in the development, for example, of pan-East Asian religious traditions such as Hwaŏm/
Huayan/ Kegon Buddhism.

THE SUPERNATURAL IN EAST ASIA

This transnational and interdisciplinary undergraduate seminar familiarizes students with supernatural stories from China, Japan, Korea, and Tibet. Based on close reading of literary and religious texts as well as relevant films, we attempt to understand the role of the supernatural in shaping East Asian cultural identities. We also compare stories from different East Asian countries and see how people from these countries imagine the supernatural realm in both similar and varying ways. Most crucially, we seek the momenta that propel the writing and circulation of these strange stories. All readings are in English. No knowledge of East Asian languages is required.

MODERN KOREA: INSIDE OUT

This course approaches Korea’s encounter with modernity as a history of negotiating borders, both real and imagined. We will examine literary and visual cultures from the early years of Japanese colonial rule, through national division and the devastation of the Korean War, to South Korea’s current position as a global economic power as a continual effort to re-imagine, naturalize, subvert or traverse territorial and ideological borders by artists, writers as well as ordinary people. In a seminar format, we will discuss short stories, newspaper articles, essays, memoirs, paintings, photographs and films. Students will explore relationships between modernity, militarism, enlightenment, colonialism and development, and learn how to produce coordinated analyses across different types of cultural texts that are historically informed and hermeneutically complex. We will also trace meaningful continuities and discontinuities between colonial mobilizations (of laborers, activists, intellectuals) and the post-colonial formation of the diasporicimagination.

CONTESTS BETWEEN TRAGEDY&PHIL;

Prerequisites: Intended for students with some background in Philosophy
This course explores philosophical questions that lie at the heart of an 'ancient quarrel' between philosophy and tragedy. We will pursue some ways in which ancient and modern philosophers struggle with and against views in ancient tragedies of human nature, the significance of suffering, and the shape and limits of our ethical lives. Our guiding questions revolve around the themes of freedom and the emotions: what role does fate or chance play in shaping how our lives go? What sort of choice must we be able to make to act freely? Do emotions such as grief and anger disrupt or promote the integrity of our identities, relationships, and communities? How should we relate to forces - supernatural, natural, psychological - that are not up to us, above all the facts of suffering and death? Might the philosophical pursuit of freedom evade an inescapable tragic dimension of llfe? We will explore competing answers to, and different literary styles of reflecting on, these and other questions between philosophy and tragedy. Ancient authors include Plato, Aristotle, Epictetus, Seneca, Sophocles, and Euripides, before we examine some influential, more recent philosophical encounters with tragedy by Hegel, Nietzsche, Iris Murdoch, Martha Nussbaum, and Stanley Cavell.
