08F, 09F: 3A Each offering of this course will undertake an examination of one or more topics in modern Korean film history. National or cultural identity, genre, representations of social or political movements, adaptation of literary works, the reworking of tradition (and representations of modernity), gender and sexuality, treatments of national division and international relations, and representations of war and violence may all be treated in the context of Korean film. Discussion and written assignments will focus both on the films themselves as well as on related critical texts. In 08F, Introduction to Korean Film. This course will provide a broad overview of Korean film history, from the beginning of the twentieth century into the present, tracing the correlation between film and major historical, political and cultural events or shifts over the same period. Focusing on how film narratives represent (rather than reflect) social reality, we will analyze the imagination and construction of national identity and cultural tradition (and its critique) across representative films. No Korean language ability is required; no background knowledge in Korean history or culture is assumed; all films are subtitled in English. Dist: ART; WCult: NW. Hanscom.

09W: 10A We shall consider the relationship of Vergil's major works (Eclogues, Georgics, Aeneid) to their generic heritage and to their contemporary historical context. We shall read from all three poems but will spend most time on one book of the Aeneid (8, 9, or 11). Depending on the text chosen the focus of the course may range from the connection between epic and history to the successes and failures of martial heroism. The course may also include a component on the late antique commentary of Servius, which will reveal some of the continuities and disjunctions between modern views of the poem and at least one ancient reader's approach.Prerequisite: Latin 10 or equivalent.
