Understanding Korean Culture through Korean Dance II (Globalization of Korean Dance)

 

Professor

Min A Yang (Chung-Ang University)

 

Course Overview

This lecture will examine the changes in traditional Korean dance from the mid-19th century to the end of the Joseon Dynasty as it interacted with other cultures. In particular, we will examine the globalization process of Korean dance through the tendency of Korean dance to be enjoyed by Korean people scattered around the world since the mid-19th century. First, we will examine the migration history of the Korean diaspora to the former Soviet Union (Russia and Central Asia), Yanbian, China, Japan, and Hawaii, USA, and how the traditional performing arts represented by dance are enjoyed and the meaning of traditional performing arts activities in diaspora cultures. On the other hand, Korean people who lived in the former Soviet Union have been re-migrating to Korea since the 2000s, forming a reversed form of diaspora in Korean society and engaging in various cultural and artistic activities. In this lecture, we will consider the social role and value of performing arts activities in the era of interculturalism through the example of the cultural activities of the Gwangju Korean Village.
