	33161	Online	BTA	1:15PM -4:00PM	M	n.a.	Butler, D Ha, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/24-05/01/24 Section Info: Topic: K-Pop: Genre, Identity, Industry, Fandom Course Description: This course will be offered through BTAA CourseShare (Ohio State University, Prof. Pil Ho Kim) and be taught synchronously utilizing Zoom. Students should check their email regularly in early January to find out how to access the course site at OSU and the zoom link information. This is a graduate-level seminar focused on Korean popular music, specifically (but not limited to) its contemporary incarnation abbreviated to K-Pop. Advanced undergraduate students who are committed to a serious research project on K-Pop will also be allowed to enroll. Though many regard K-Pop as a genre performed by Korean idol dance music artists, they often overlook the ever expanding cultural, linguistic, ethnic, and musical boundaries of K-Pop. In this seminar, we will approach such fundamental questions as “what is the exact meaning of K in K-Pop?” and “what makes K-Pop K-Pop?” from different angles. Increasing multiethnic presence among K-Pop performers, the globalizing nature of K-Pop music production process, the emphasis on ‘Koreanness’ by incorporating traditional musical elements, the close relationship between the K-Pop industry and the South Korean government agencies, K-Pop idols’ public diplomacy, the issues of abuse, exploitation, discrimination, and criminality in the entertainment business, and the impact of K-Pop global fandom on culture and politics will be closely examined through up-to-date academic literature and in-depth media coverage Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Junior or Senior class standing.
	70133	Lecture-Discussion	GPP	3:30PM -5:50PM	W	1046 Literatures, Cultures, & Ling	Persiani, G	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/24-05/01/24 Section Info: Poetry in Japanese Culture: A journey through 1,000 years of Japanese culture through the lens of classical poetry (waka). Although the Tale of Genji is more familiar to English-language readers, no literary form has had a bigger impact on the development of Japanese culture than classical poetry (waka). We explore waka’s rich and manifold intersections with the visual arts, calligraphy, religion, modern nation-making, and contemporary popular culture while honing our skills in cross-media cultural analysis. Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Junior or Senior class standing.
