L04 Chinese 4510Urban Culture in Modern China3.0 Units
Description:The narrative of rural crisis and peasant revolution has dominated China's modern history for decades. But there has been a growing interest in China's urban past and present with the increased prominence of cities in China's breathtaking economic development and the opening of municipal archives in post-Mao era. The course aims to introduce students to "conventional wisdoms," new directions, and major debates in the urban history field. Topics include: the urban political economy, the cultural dynamics of modernity, the reconstruction of traditions in the making of modernity, the cultural production and consumption, colonialism and imperialism in the urban setting, nationalism, and reform and revolution. Acknowledging and understanding the nuance and difference in views and interpretations in historical writings (historiography) are essential. The course seeks to develop students' research and analytical skills, such as locating secondary sources, incorporating scholarly interpretations, and developing and sustaining a thesis based on secondary and primary sources in student research. Prerequisite: This is an interdisciplinary seminar designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. Advanced undergraduate students must have taken at least one China-related course at the 300-level or higher.

L04 Chinese 482Reading Seminar in Gender and Chinese Literature: Writing Women of Imperial China3.0 Units
Description:Although women of premodern China have often been portrayed as little more than long-suffering victims of male patriarchy and sexual repression, their lives were far more complicated, diverse, and interesting. Women played roles as filial daughters, dutiful wives, and devoted mothers, but also as proud courtesans, clever entrepreneurs, educated scholars and teachers, independent nuns, fierce warriors and even powerful rulers. In this course we will begin with a broad overview of the ideal traditional roles for women established in early China. We will then move on to a general exploration of some of the ways women were represented in classical literature by male writers. Our main focus, however, will be on how, over time, more and more women took up the brush and began to write themselves. In so doing they were able to express their own subjectivity and often radically reinscribe many of the notions of femininity and of female roles that were dominant during their times. We will conclude with a discussion of ways in which traditional women writers both anticipated and contributed to the 20th century transition to modernity. Most of our class discussion will be based on primary sources in English translation, supplemented by occasional secondary critical scholarly articles where relevant. Prerequisite: Some background in premodern Chinese literature history or culture would be helpful but is not required.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
