This course examines Korean American Literature with emphasis on questions of aesthetics and belonging. Topics of discussion will include the flow of popular culture between the U.S. and South Korea, the depiction of North Korea in mass media, and the import of World War II and the Korean War. In querying the representation of the Korean American experience, we will pay particular attention to how writers, artists, and performers contribute to the perception of what it means to be Korean American. No prior knowledge of Korean is required.
