Course content
|
The course will focus on a comparative cultural analysis of contemporary Korean television dramas and contemporary Japanese animated films, with the aim of identifying and examining motifs related to the broader Sinitic cultural sphere, particularly Confucianism and Mahayana Buddhism. At the same time, attention will be paid to the identification of culturally unique elements that distinguish the two traditions. The course will apply the centre-periphery theory. Specifically, it will focus on Korean television dramas produced between 2015 and 2022 and Japanese animated films released between 1980 and 2022. An essential component of the course will be independent preparation, consisting of viewing selected dramas and films, followed by their semiotic analysis during seminar sessions. Course credit will be awarded on the basis of a semiotic analysis of one selected work from either of the two areas, presented in the form of a poster.

This course focuses on a comparative cultural analysis of contemporary Korean television dramas and Japanese animated films, with particular attention to identifying and examining motifs related to the broader Sinitic cultural sphere, especially Confucianism and Mahayana Buddhism. At the same time, the course explores culturally distinctive elements that contribute to the unique identities of Korean and Japanese cultures. The centre-periphery theory will be applied as a conceptual framework for analysis. Specifically, the course examines Korean television dramas produced between 2015 and 2022 and Japanese animated films released between 1980 and 2022. A key component of the course is independent preparation, which involves watching selected dramas and films, followed by their semiotic analysis during seminar sessions. Course credit will be awarded for a semiotic analysis of one selected work from either of the two areas, presented in the form of a poster.
