Film, Literature and Culture in Mumbai & Seoul Info Session
In addition to being centers of global capital, Mumbai and Seoul are two of the most culturally vibrant cities in the world. The Hindi cinema industry centered in Mumbai is massively popular both within India and outside. Korean cinema and popular culture in turn may have been a later to arrive on the global scene but is now arguably even more significant in its global reach, popularity and influence, not least in India. On this off-campus study program students will explore various cultural facets of both cities and study their representations in and contributions to film, popular culture and literature. We will examine the connections and differences between the globally popular productions of these two cities and the cultural and historical contexts they emerge from.
