The Life and Family of Koreans |
|
SummaryThis course examines Korean life-cycle rituals by life stage and the family culture formed within them from a historical perspective. It compares the four major rituals—coming of age, marriage, funeral, and ancestral worship (Gwanhonsangje)—which were emphasized during the formation of the patriarchal, male-centered society of the Joseon Dynasty, with life-cycle rituals surrounding women's pregnancy and childbirth, exploring their similarities and differences. Based on this, it considers the focal points of various conflicts in Korean society and allows for a comprehensive understanding of how Koreans' lives and family culture have formed and transformed amidst sociocultural changes since the modern era. |
