********************
This course is an introductory survey of the history of modern Korea from the late fourteenth century to the present. The timeframe of this course covers the rise and fall of the Chosǒn dynasty (1392-1910), Korea under Japanese colonial rule, and the continuing division between North and South Korea. We will study historical change and continuity in Korean society, and particular emphasis will be placed on situating Korea in a broader regional context of East Asia and beyond. We will read historical surveys and primary materials in translation, supplemented by visual materials and film screenings. Readings will also include popular tales of the Chosŏn period and a seventeenth-century account of the shipwreck of a Dutch vessel in Korea. The structure of this course combines lecture and discussion. Approximately half of class time will be devoted to lectures and discussion of historical context. We will use the second half of class time to discuss the assigned primary source readings. There are no prerequisites for this course.
