an instructor is needed in Fall 2011 for Asian Studies 868 Korean

University (TU) in Philadelphia. A section focusing on Korea has never
been offered before. The course may be cancelled if it is not staffed

DESCRIPTION:
Asian Studies 868. World Society in Literature & Film (3 s.h.) RCI: GG.
(Formerly: GE-WRLD 0060.)
Learn about a particular national culture—Russian, Indian, French,
Japanese, Italian, for example, each focused upon in separate sections
of this course—by taking a guided tour of its literature and film. You
don’t need to speak Russian, Hindu, French or Japanese to take one of
these exciting courses, and you will gain the fresh, subtle
understanding that comes from integrating across different forms of
human expression. Some of the issues that will be illuminated by looking
at culture through the lens of literature and film: Family structures
and how they are changing, national self-perceptions, pivotal moments in
history, economic issues, social change and diversity.
[Note: This course fulfills the World Society (GG) requirement for
students under GenEd and International Studies (IS) for students under
Core. Students cannot receive credit for this course if they have
successfully completed any of the following: Arabic 0868/0968, Chinese
