Download or read book Korean Literature Through the Korean Wave written by Jieun Kiaer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Korean Literature Through the Korean Wave engages with the rising interest in both the Korean Wave and Korean language learning by incorporating Korean Wave cultural content, especially K-dramas, films and songs, to underline and support the teaching of Korean literature. It combines both premodern and modern texts, including poetry, novels, philosophical treatises, and even comics, to showcase the diversity of Korean literature. Particular care has been taken to include the voices of those marginalised in the often male, elite-dominated discourse on Korean literature. In particular, this book also distinguishes itself by extending the usual breadth of what is considered modern Korean literature up until the present day, including texts published as recently as 2017. Many of these texts are very relevant for recent discourse in Korean affairs, such as the obsession with physical appearance, the #MeToo movement and multiculturalism. This textbook is aimed at B1-B2 level and Intermediate-Mid students of Korean. On the one hand the textbook introduces students to seeing beyond Korean literature as a monolithic entity, giving a taste of its wonderful richness and diversity. On the other hand, it provides an entry point into discussions on Korean contemporary society, in which the text (and associated media extracts) provides the catalyst for more in-depth analysis and debate.
Download or read book Modern Korean Poetry written by 리본 and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-16 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of Modern Korean Poetry with English translations. The poems are about life, finding love, experiencing love, losing love and finding it again. The verses full of Korean sentiments like references to 'the first snow' and 'mothers influence in relationships'. The book is a good resource for Korean learners who wish to get ideas for poetry they would like to share with their Korean friends. The book also is a good resource for Koreas who are learning English as the English Poems are written side by side with the Korean Version at the end of the book. Early readers of this book have commented that the poems have shared so much insight about life, love and our day to day living. I encourage the readers to share their thoughts in the feedback section on which poems have touched theirs hearts. Some samples of the poems in the book: 당신과 함께 - Growing old with you Growing old with you is a promise, I promise to listen to all your complaints and gripes; 너와 함께 늙어 가는 것은 약속이다. 나는 너의 모든 불평과 불평들을 들어줄 것을 약속한다. Even if I cannot fulfill all of them, I will try to make you smile again; 비록 내가 그것들 모두를 채워줄 없다고 해도, 나는 너를 다시 웃게 하려고 노력할 것이다. 나는 언젠가 깨어났다 - I woke up one day I woke up one day and I felt my hand on you; 내가 어느날 일어났고 나는 당신 위에 나의 손을 느꼈다; I was ecstatic since I knew it was our first night together; 나는 그것이 우리의 첫날밤 이었음을 알았 기 때문에 나는 황홀했다; I woke up one day and I saw a child standing beside me; 내가 어느날 일어났고 나는 한 아이가 내 옆에 서있는 것을 보았다; I smiled when I saw your eyes in the our son's eyes; 나는 우리 너의 눈에서 우리의 아들의 눈을 볼때 웃었다; 꿈의 환상 - Illusions of dreams Life is not as we see it 우리가 본 것처럼 삶은 그렇지 않다. It is but an illusion of what we think is true 그것은 우리가 생각하는 것의 환영 일뿐입니다. If you look at any direction 어떤 방향으로 보면 You might think the world is flat 세상이 평평하다고 생각할 수도 있습니다. If you look at the stars at night 밤에 별을 본다면 You might think we are in the center of the universe 우리는 우주의 중심에 있다고 생각할 수도 있습니다.
Download or read book Beautiful and Useless written by Min Jeong Kim and published by Moon Country Korean Poetry. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Beautiful and Useless, Kim Min Jeong exposes the often funny and contradictory rifts that appear in the language of everyday circumstance. She uses slang, puns, cultural referents, and 'naughty, unwomanly" language in order to challenge readers to expand their ideas of not only what a poem is, but also how women should speak. In this way Kim undermines patriarchal authority by displaying the absurd nature of gender expectations. But even larger than issues of gender, these poems reveal the illogical systems of power behind the apparent structures that govern the logic of everyday life. By making the source of these antagonisms and gender transgressions visible, they make them less powerful. This skillful translation from Soeun Seo and Jake Levine, brings the full playfulness and intelligence of Kim's lyricism to English-language readers.

Download or read book From Domestic Women to Sensitive Young Men written by Yoon Sun Yang and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The notion of the individual was initially translated into Korean near the end of the nineteenth century and took root during the early years of Japanese colonial influence. Yoon Sun Yang argues that the first literary iterations of the Korean individual were prototypically female figures appearing in the early colonial domestic novel—a genre developed by reform-minded male writers—as schoolgirls, housewives, female ghosts, femmes fatales, and female same-sex partners. Such female figures have long been viewed as lacking in modernity because, unlike numerous male characters in Korean literature after the late 1910s, they did not assert their own modernity, or that of the nation, by exploring their interiority. Yang, however, shows that no reading of Korean modernity can ignore these figures, because the early colonial domestic novel cast them as individuals in terms of their usefulness or relevance to the nation, whether model citizens or iconoclasts. By including these earlier narratives within modern Korean literary history and positing that they too were engaged in the translation of individuality into Korean, Yang’s study not only disrupts the canonical account of a non-gendered, linear progress toward modern Korean selfhood but also expands our understanding of the role played by translation in Korea’s construction of modern gender roles."
