ENGL149 PO - Korea’s IMF-Crisis CinemaWhen Offered: Last offered fall 2017.
Instructor(s): J.Jeon
Credit: 1
This course examines the remarkable moment of Korean Cinema in the decade following the so-called International Monetary Fund Crisis in South Korea which began in 1997. Global in orientation, the films of the period not only help make sense of the changing economic climate in the region, but also offer insight into the operations and effects of neoliberal economics worldwide. To this end, this class will consider the formal, artistic, and narrative aspects of filmmaking in relation to the geopolitical social contexts they engage. Students in the course will attend a weekly required screening and read theoretical texts that will give critical context to the films. All films have English subtitles; neither language background nor familiarity with Asian cinema is required. Letter grade only. (TH, H5, DG)
