Students will explore the three phases of Japanese rule: military rule (1910-1919); cultural rule (1919-1931), and wartime mobilization (1931-1945) and how each of these phases have shaped and continue to shape Korean national identity and politics, socioeconomic development, and memory culture. The course draws on historical and literary texts as well as film and other visual sources. This course combines lecture with active student discussion and presentations.Fulfills the LAMA requirement for History Majors
