Hiraeth project discussion: I think for ‘Hiraeth’, it can be the one’s hometown, but also I think it can be the time that one wants to go back to. At this point, people can discuss which can be our Hiraeth between place and time we want to go; still, my Hiraeth is the time that I want to go back to. No matter how we desperately want, we cannot return to the past. For example, for me, I personally want to go back to the time when I lived in Busan; the biggest coastal city in South Korea. I did not have any worries at that time, and from my house to the beach it takes only 15 minutes by walk. Of course, I can go back to Busan whenever I want, since the place still exists. However, the view that I saw as a child, and the view that I see with the view point of an adult is totally different. Moreover, Busan does not have a same view as before, compared to the past, it is too modernized, and the street that I used to play, the restaurant that I used to go with my mom, and the sauna that I went with my dad does not exist anymore. Therefore, I personally believe that talking about the past that we want to go back to is more close to Hiraeth that we are going to talk about. I think a movie or video clip can be the best for my assignment and describing Hiraeth. Since song lyrics can only convey words to audiences, it has limits in stimulating audiences’ imaginations. However, a movie has everything that can stimulus every sense of people not only our imaginations but also auditory senses and maybe more than that. For example, there are some movies or dramas that describe about specific eras like 1980s. Those movies and dramas can also stimulate people’s Hiraeth, thus, I think for Hiraeth videos and movies are the best sources that can occur nostalgia for people.
