The Language of Motherhood in Korean Literature and Society by Jieun Kiaer (University of Oxford)
Date and Time: Thursday 27th February, 1700-1830
Location: G.03, 50 George Square
Abstract: This talk examines how contemporary Korean literature portrays motherhood through language and narratives, exploring how these depictions shape societal perceptions of mothers in Korea. It focuses on themes such as educational expectations, familial roles, and the cultural burdens placed on mothers, analysing how linguistic and literary choices reflect and critique the evolving identity of Korean mothers. By bridging linguistic and cultural analysis, this talk offers insights into the complex realities of motherhood in modern Korean society.
