### title

CULTURAL HISTORY OF KOREA

### description

The culture and society of Korea have evolved hand in hand with the country's transformation from the Choson dynasty, a relatively isolated Confucian kingdom built on an agrarian economy, to South Korea and North Korea, two modern, industrialized nation-states in the globalized present. Explores key aspects of Korea's great cultural and social transformation from the 15th century to the 21st century. Delves into recent studies on gender history and on the constructed notion of "national culture." Also analyzes primary sources from different historical periods, as well as cinematic representations of Korea's past and present.
