Kommentar

This seminar serves as a preparatory course for the upcoming student excursion to South Korea, organized by the Division of East Asian Art History and scheduled for September 18–30, 2025. Open to both BA and MA students, participation in the seminar is mandatory for those joining the excursion. Students not attending the excursion may still enroll but will be required to complete an alternative writing assignment. The primary language of instruction is English, though students may communicate in German. Korean-language materials are included in the recommended readings and are encouraged for use, though prior knowledge of Korean is not required. The seminar explores the historical significance of Seoul, a city that has long been a central hub of the country’s economy, politics, and culture. Known as Hanyang during the Joseon dynasty, Seoul served as the capital for nearly 500 years and played a pivotal role in shaping the country’s material culture and artistic traditions. Its urban landscape also bears traces of colonial rule, the Korean War, and rapid modernization, making its visual history dynamic and complex. Students will be introduced to major cultural sites included in the excursion itinerary, such as the Joseon royal palaces and gardens, the Confucian shrine Jongmyo, and Buddhist temples. The course will also provide historical and curatorial context for the museums on the itinerary and offer object-focused studies of key artifacts encountered on-site. Additionally, the seminar will examine how modern media, particularly photography, has documented Seoul’s evolving urban landscape and engage with critical discourses on its visual representation. Students will choose a research topic from a list provided by the instructor and conduct independent or group research. Findings will be shared through oral presentations and written reports. By the end of the semester, the collected research materials will be compiled into a PDF and distributed as a reference resource for excursion participants. Schließen
