영문 초록

  This article explores various pedagogic issues surrounding the field of modern drama in a Korean context. The first section of the article discusses dominant trends and problems of the current curriculum. Most modern drama professors require students to read seven to eight plays in a semester, teaching modern American drama during half of the sixteen weeks and modern British or Irish drama in the other half. In this case, only canonical dramatic texts written before the early half of the twentieth century tend to be included in the syllabus, largely disregarding contemporary texts written by playwrights with minority identities from traditional viewpoints.
  The second section of the article discusses ideological issues surrounding curriculum development, focusing on minority sensibility as a key concept of modernity in modern drama that should be reflected in the curriculum. Minority sensibility is, regardless of one"s racial, gender, ethnic, sexual, or class identity, emotional affinity with minorities and attitude that is open to questioning traditional criteria and willingness to believe possibilities of social change.
Whether one can afford to teach American and British/Irish dramas separately in different semesters, teachers of modern drama should integrate canonical classics with contemporary or non-canonical works by writers from various identities and non-realistic dramas with experimental representational form.
