The K-Narrative Team of SNU Contemporary Korean Studies holds a monthly colloquium to critically explore the emerging trends in contemporary Korean narratives. We invite active participation from members of the university community.

The July 25 session will examine whether there exists a masterplot running through literary and cultural content currently produced in Korea, and if so, whether it demonstrates a national specificity that warrants the use of the qualifier “K-.”

Title: Survivalism, Meritocracy, Retributivism – The Vicious Cycles of Contemporary K-Narratives

Presenter: Shin Hyoung Cheol (Professor of English Literature, Seoul National University)

Date & Time: July 25, 2:00–4:00 PM

Venue: Room 422, Building 14, Seoul National University

Format: In-person
