The image of Global Korea in the 21st century commonly reflects one of high-tech innovation, spectacular urban growth, and dizzying social change. While such images reinforce the values of seamless progress and unfettered markets, the ongoing dynamism of mass protest and public acts of defiance and resistance reveals a powerful alternative imaginary. This course invites students to critically re-imagine the idea of Global Korea by exploring the art of protest and bottom-up social change. We will examine how various social actors–including workers, students, parents, feminists, migrants, queers, and members of the Korean diaspora among others–have utilized protest to wield pointed critiques against social inequality, political repression, and capitalist injustice. We will analyze how social, political and economic conditions shape the limits and possibilities of protest politics in fostering meaningful change. We will also examine the role of art, emotions, bodies, places and infrastructure in forging oppositional cultures of resistance and solidarity.
Students will knowledge they have acquired on the art of protest and social change in contemporary Korea to improve Wikipedia through the revision of existing articles and the creation of new content.
