HKOB0108EU KOR, Korean Religions (Korean Studies Content Course 1) (E21)
- Curriculum for the BA programme in Korean Studies, The 2019 Curriculum
- Curriculum for the Elective Studies in Korean studies The 2019 Curriculum
- Curriculum for MA Elective Studies in Cross Cultural Studies The 2019 Curriculum
This course examines Korean religious and spiritual thought from
the earliest written records to the present day, in their
historical context and contemporary representations. We examine the
tension between unique aspects of Korean culture and universal
values in these traditions and ask about their contribution to
“Korean-ness”. We will pay special attention to the various
academic definitions of the terms “religion” and “ritual”, and
inspect the problems which arise from using those definitions.
The course is organized into five study units, with the opening and
closing of the semester making up the sixth unit. In each unit, we
will focus on one spiritual tradition. We will survey the history
of that tradition as well as its unique terminology. Each unit will
also focus on a different branch of scholarship as the main
methodological framework. The larger Korean context will allow us
to utilize this knowledge to analyze and understand concrete
cases.
