Influence and Innovation
We will explore ways Koreans have adapted and innovated at cultural boundaries.
This week, we will look at how Koreans formed their own culture and ideas.
What we consider to be “Korean” today is the result of their long-standing self-awareness and tenacious practice of reconstructing cultures from beyond their cultural borders. Among them, the Chinese culture had the deepest influence on pre-modern Korea. We will explore ways Koreans have adapted and innovated at cultural boundaries.
