  • JPN 352: Seminar.Postwar Japanese Fiction

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Zimmerman With the lifting of state censorship in the postwar period, Japanese writers began to write again about sex, politics and decadence. They also wrestled with questions of war responsibility and the role of the writer in a changing world. In recent years, Japanese writers have courted a global audience, moving towards fantasy and magic realism while depicting the proliferation of isolated subcultures in Japan. We embed literary texts in their social and historical contexts as we listen for the ?hum of the times.? We also practice close reading of individ-ual texts as we assess the literary accomplishments of nine Japanese writers from 1945-200 7. Prerequisite: One course on Japan or by permission of the instructor. Distribution: Language and Literature Semester: Spring Unit: 1.0

  • KOR 256: Gender and Language in Modern Korean Culture

    0.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    NOT OFFERED IN 2009-10. Postwar modernization and industrialization have brought dramatic changes in Korean society. In spite of remarkable economic growth and rapid social progress, Korean women still struggle with gender inequality. This course explores the relationship between language use and cultural views of womanhood in modern Korea, using phonetics, semantics, discourse analysis, and sociolinguistics. By examining actual language use in myths, movies, ads, and popular cul-ture, we explore how sociolinguistic factors shape gender dichotomies, notions of individual identity, and ethnicity. Substantial evidence of linguistic data will be used to clarify the connection between language and gender as we address the challenges faced by women of East Asia. Taught in English.
