Song, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/23/21-12/08/21 Section Title: Hanguk Hip Hop Section Info: Hanguk Hip Hop: Global Rap in South Korea This course looks at the birth, growth, and rise of Hanguk hip hop—Korean hip hop—by locating the local, national, and global flows of cultural and musical exchange between America and South Korea. By doing so, it outlines the sociocultural, economic, and historical conditions that underlie the production, circulation, and consumption of Korean hip hop. How did hip hop travel from America to root itself in Korean society? How did Korean hip hop develop over the last three decades as a cultural and artistic entity? How is hip hop represented in Korean media and popular culture? In considering these questions, we will pay close attention to how Korean hip hop artists— particularly rappers—(re)imagine their identities through music in various sociocultural, economic, and political contexts that oftentimes flow outside of Korea and extend to not just East Asia but across United States and other parts of the world. With the help of scholarly readings, our study will question several intersections including cultural appropriation and appreciation; authenticity and identity; and youth subcultures, community, and technology.

Originally called Edo when it was the castle town and headquarters for the Tokugawa Shoguns, today Tokyo has grown into the modern megalopolis that is home and haunt to many icons of Japanese popular culture. In this course, you will be introduced to Edo-Tokyo through maps and artwork of its urban form, its temple and residential architecture, its literary and culinary creativity (sushi and tempura were once street food here), its markets and marketplaces, its quaint neighborhoods and bustling city centers, and it place in film, manga, and anime. You will also create your own story of Edo-Tokyo by exploring a topic of your choice about the city’s fascinating history and culture.
