This course aims to conduct an in-depth exploration of contemporary Korean society and culture through various materials, such as documentaries and news articles. Students will select topics of interest and prepare individual or group presentations, thereby deepening their understanding of Korean society and culture while enhancing their presentation skills.

The body is a kind of “buffer zone” between outside and inside. It’s an interface between our « self » and social world. In sociology, this externality can be understood as responsible institutions for our education : family, school, amateur sport, first job, et cetera ; internality must be understood by the embodiement of its education (the body is learning and memorizing unconsciously social conducts). Sociology of body is about the embodiement of such norms. How are we internalizing these social norms ? How these norms are structuring our mind and, de facto, our perception of the world. Our class will answer to all of these questions.
What it means being a ‟stranger”? Is it living in a different country from the one where we were born? If that is the case, how did we embodying the way of life and thinking of our native country? How this country, where we are originary from, is defining our cultural identity?
Furthermore, being a ‟stranger”, is it living in a very different social environment from the one where we have been educated? In other words, being a ‟stranger” is it likewise having the feeling to be different than everyone else and feeling incomfortable with people who are meeting each day (metro, work place, amusement places, etc.)? If that he case, how these interactions are weakening our social identity?
In brief, we can tell being a ‟stranger” is the embodiment of our native culture and social environment which both are expressing through our interaction with people. This interaction is defining our stranger’s identity same as an alterated and deforming mirror which is reflecting our alterity or worse our exoticism.
We will answer to those questions.
There is no human society that does not value certain acts and prohibit others. Each society designs rules to measure and judge behaviour that it considers "normal", and to which the members of a group must submit on pain of being excluded from the community. An individual who does not conform to the rest of the group is labelled a "deviant" in relation to the norm in force in that group. But what defines the deviant nature of an act? The aim of this course will be to use selected texts to understand the social construction of deviance and, consequently, to deduce what is defined as 'normality' according to society and time.

The Nikkei Communities in Latin America and Japan.
In this course we will explore the Nikkei communities in Latin America from a historical and cultural perspective. Students will analyze the historical background of the Japanese migration to Latin America, the settlement and community development. The analysis of the historical processes will enable the students to understand the contemporary features of Nikkei communities in different Latin American societies. In the second part of the course, we will examine the so-called “return migration” to Japan. This analysis aims to understand these ethnic minorities, whose temporary migration has gradually turned into a permanent stay.
Along the course we aim to consider the main causes and effects of migration, the cultural characteristics of the migrants and their families, and the effects of their settlement on their children education. Additionally, we will discuss the migrants’ identity and the maintenance (or non) of their heritage language.
