A central theme of the first part of this course will be how Koreans sought to imagine and create in the new nation in the wake of the collapse of the Joseon Dynasty. Based on the materials in the lecture AND readings, use this forum to discuss these questions (you don't have to answer all of them. The main point is to use one or some of them as a starting point).

What were some of the causes and consequences of Korea's crisis in the late 19th and early 20th centuries?

How did Korean intellectuals imagine a new nation?

What were some of the limitations or contradictions of trying to forge a modern/enlightened nation?

Please give me the correct answer,
