| | Description: | For some, "Japan" evokes Hello Kitty, animated films, cartoons, and sushi. For others, the Nanjing Atrocity, "Comfort Women," the Bataan Death March, and problematic textbooks. For still others, woodblock prints, tea ceremony, and cherry blossoms, or Sony Walkmans and Toyotas. Still others may hold no image at all. Tracing the story of Japan's transformations, from a pre-industrial peasant society managed by samurai-bureaucrats into an expansionist nation-state and then to its current paradoxical guise of a peaceful nation of culture led by conservative nationalists, provides the means for deepening our understandings of historical change in one region and grappling with the methods and aims of the discipline of History. Modern, East Asia. PREREQUISITE: SEE HISTORY HEADNOTE. |

| | Description: | This course examines the history of China's foreign policy since the mid-20th century through a case study of China's most important bilateral relation-the US-China relation. The intensity of the Sino-American partnership and rivalries can be discerned in a wide range of national and international events such as the Communist revolution, the Korean War, the Indochina war and de-colonization, the Cold War, China's economic reform and the expansion of global economy, the pro-democracy movement in China and the human rights debate, the global financial crisis, and war on terrorism. It aims to study the following questions: How did China perceive and come to terms with the U.S.'s foreign policy in East Asia in the wake of WWII? What have China and the U.S. done to confront or accommodate each other in global politics during the Cold War? How did basic developments in Sino-US relations affect China's domestic political campaigns and social movements? How has China's foreign policy balanced the often competing goals of state security, economic stability, domestic political order, and international influence? What role did non-state actors (academic institutions, businesses, religious groups, NGO, and international organizations) play in shaping Sino-US relations? What are the impacts of a rising China on geopolitics in Asia-Pacific region and the U.S.'s global leadership in the 21st century? By drawing on scholarship in political and social history and area studies, this course will help students better understand the formation and transformation of Sino-American relations and its impacts on domestic, regional, and global affairs. |

| | Description: | One of the most powerful ways that a religion can realize its central beliefs and practices is through art and material culture. Rather than focusing on the historical development of Buddhist artwork itself, this course will be organized around conceptual themes concerning the evolution of key philosophies and rituals. By the end of the course, students will have a good understanding of the basic religious ideas and history of Himalayan Buddhism, much as they might gain from a standard introductory course on religion. However, students in this class will also understand the inestimable role of art and material culture in Himalayan Buddhism, as well as the ways in which artworks can express philosophical ideas, epitomize esoteric practices, aid in the transmission/propagation of religion, and in short be one of the most meaningful ways to explore and understand another culture. The course will involve works of art from the past 2000 years of history in regions of South Asia including northern India, Nepal, and Tibet. |

| | Description: | This undergraduate course surveys the major writers and works of twentieth-century Korean literature. During the twentieth century Korea went through a radical process of modernization. From its colonization by Japan, to its suffering of a civil war within the cold war order, to its growth into a cultural and economic powerhouse, Korea's historical experience is at once unique and typical of that of a third-world nation. By immersing ourselves in the most distinctive literary voices from Korea, we will examine how the Korean experience of modernization was filtered through its cultutral production. In class discussion, we will pay special attention to the writers' construction of the self and the nation. How do social categories such as ethnicity, class, gender, and race figure in the varying images of the self? And how do these images relate to the literary vision of the nation? Along the way, we will observe the prominent ideas, themes, and genres of Korean literature. This class will combine discussion with lecture with students strongly encouraged to participate. All literary texts are in English translation and no previous knowledge of Korean is required. |

| | Description: | Women writers can be found throughout most of China's imperial history, and from the 16th century on, there were an extraordinary number of women writing and also publishing their works. Despite this fact, only a very few writings by women were included in the traditional literary canon and until recently, were not considered worthy of scholarly attention. Fortunately, there is now a growing body of critical studies on, and translations of, these women writers. In this course, we will explore the writings of Chinese women from the 1st through to the early 20th centuries, and discuss the changing historical and social contexts within which these women wrote and the obstacles of both genre and gender that had to be overcome in order to ensure that their voices were heard. Much of our discussion will be based on primary sources (in English translation): reading, listening and trying to understand and interpret these women's own words, especially since they have been silenced or ignored for so long, is both the beginning and the basis for learning about their place in, and contribution to, Chinese literary history. Graduate students and graduating EALC majors who want to take this course should enroll in 482, and will be expected to do additional readings and, if possible, make use of primary sources in Chinese when preparing their final paper. |

| | Description: | This writing-intensive seminar explores transformations in popular culture and everyday life in Chinese society since 1949 through an analytical focus on political economy and material culture. Drawing upon ethnographic texts, films, and material artifacts, we will investigate how the forces of state control and global capitalism converge to shape consumer desires and everyday habits in contemporary China. Case studies include eating habits, fashion standards, housing trends, entertainment, sports, and counterfeit goods.
Prerequisite: previous course in China studies (anthropology, economics, history, literature, philosophy, or political science) required.
Enrollment by instructor approval only. |

| | Description: | This course examines the place of health, illness, and healing in Asian societies. We will explore how people experience, narrate, and respond to illness and other forms of suffering - including political violence, extreme poverty, and health inequalities. In lectures and discussions we will discuss major changes that medicine and public health are undergoing and how those changes affect the training of practitioners, health care policy, clinical practice and ethics. The course will familiarize students with key concepts and approaches in medical anthropology by considering case studies from a number of social settings including China, India, Indonesia,Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Tibet, Thailand, Vietnam and Asian immigrants in the United States. We will also investigate the sociocultural dimensions of illness and the medicalization of social problems in Asia, examining how gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, disability and other forms of social difference affect medical knowledge and disease outcomes. This course is intended for anthropology majors, students considering careers in medicine and public health, and others interested in learning how anthropology can help us understand human suffering and formulate more effective interventions. |

| | Description: | This course aims to examine Western influences in Japan and Japan's reconceptualizing the "West" in various aspects of popular culture, including cuisine, sports, music, language, advertising, entertainment, and domesticity. It is primarily an anthropological survey with historical references on Japan's turn to Western civilization in the modern era. The course explores Japanese perceptions of the "West", and how Japanese consume the "West" by attaching meanings to "Western" symbols and practices, and making them part of Japanese culture and life. Rather than explicating Japan's relationship with the West, the course scrutinizes the "West" constructed within Japanese discourse, as both a racial/ethnic other and a cultural fantasy. Course assignments include a roundtable discussion on specific topics relating to cultural integration and internationalization, and globalization and localization. |

| | Description: | In 1960, the major studio Shochiku promoted a new crop of directors as the "Japanese New Wave" in response to declining theater attendance, a booming youth culture, and the international success of the French Nouvelle Vague. This course focuses on the Japanese New Wave's most famous iconoclast, the director Oshima Nagisa. His films engage with Japan's colonial history, its disillusioned and violent youth, and intellectual debates on responsibility and national identity after WWII. His themes are sex, politics, violence, and the state. In order to understand Oshima's directorial style in context, we will also screen films by contemporaries working in action, melodrama, documentary, experimental cinema, and the youth film in Japan. Special emphasis on sexuality, race, urban space, and performance. No knowledge of Japanese necessary. Recommended prerequesite Film 220 and Film 340. Meets requirement for national cinema. REQUIRED SCREENING: Wednesdays @ 7 pm. |
