ENGL 327 - Korean/American Literature and Popular Culture

Upper Division

This course closely analyzes literature, film, and television produced in South Korea and America, examining their intersections to understand Korean/American cultural formations and the role they play in constructions of nationhood, gender, and class. We will interrogate the boundaries between “literature” and “popular culture” and critically examine how the relationship between the two can function to support or disrupt American cultural hegemony.
