| Description: | This course offers an introduction to the history, practices, and worldviews that define the Daoist tradition. Through both secondary scholarship and primary texts, we will consider the history of Daoism in reference to the continuities and discontinuities of formative concepts, social norms, and religious practices. Our inquiry into this history will center on consideration of the social forces that have driven the development of Daoism from the 2nd century to the modern day. Special consideration will be given to specific Daoist groups and their textual and practical traditions: the Celestial Masters (Tianshi), Great Clarity (Taiqing), Upper Clarity (Shangqing), Numinous Treasure (Lingbao), and Complete Perfection (Quanzhen). Throughout the semester we will also reflect on certain topics and themes concerning the Daoist tradition. These include constructions of identity and community, material culture, the construction of sacred space, and cultivation techniques. |

| Description: | This course examines the historical development of Buddhism from its origins in South Asia circa sixth to fifth century BCE, through the articulation of Buddhist teachings and practices in Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Tibet.

In the first section of the course, we will focus on early, elite Buddhist doctrine and practices as represented in the Pali canon. In the second section, we will examine the Theravada Buddhist tradition of Southeast Asia, from its historical origins to the modern day. In the third section of our course, we will consider Mahayana Buddhist doctrines, theories, and practices in both their scriptural representation and their lived expressions in East Asia. In the final section of our course, we will explore Tantric Buddhist doctrine and theory in relation to the Buddhist tradition of Tibet in particular. Throughout our semester we will consider modern developments and representations of Buddhism in both the West and in Asia. |

| 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. DISCUSSION SECTION REQUIRED. Modern, East Asia. PREREQUISITE: SEE DEPARTMENT INFO. |

| Description: | In this course we will explore the role of women in the indigenous religious traditions of China, Japan and Korea (Confucianism, Daoism, Shamanism and Shinto), as well as Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. We will begin by considering the images of women (whether mythical or historical) in traditional religious scriptures and historical or literary texts. We will then focus on what we know of the actual experience and practice of various types of religious women - nuns and abbesses, shamans and mediums, hermits and recluses, and ordinary laywomen - both historically and in more recent times. Class materials will include literary and religious texts, historical and ethnological studies, biographies and memoirs, and occasional videos and films. Prerequisites: This class will be conducted as a seminar, with minimal lectures, substantial reading and writing, and lots of class discussion. For this reason, students who are not either upper-level undergraduates or graduate students, or who have little or no background in East Asian religion or culture, will need to obtain the instructor's permission before enrolling. |

| 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 provides an introduction to those iconoclastic filmmakers, who went on to break with major studios and revolutionize oppositional filmmaking in Japan. We will analyze the challenging politics and aesthetics of these confrontational films for what they tell us about Japan's modern history and cinema. The films provoke as well as entertain, providing trenchant (sometimes absurd) commentaries on postwar Japanese society and its transformations. Themes include: the legacy of WWII and Japanese imperialism; the student movement; juvenile delinquency; sexual liberation; and Tokyo subcultures. Directors include: Oshima Nagisa, Shinoda Masahiro, Terayama Shuji, Masumura Yasuzo, Suzuki Seijun, Matsumoto Toshio, and others. No knowledge of Japanese necessary. Credit 3 units. Mandatory weekly screening: Tuesdays @ 7 pm. |

| Description: | Demonic goddesses, bird-women, sexy shamans, and snaky sorceresses have slipped and slithered their way through the pages of Japanese myth, history, and narrative from time immemorial. Their presence in modern Japanese fiction has largely been treated as either suggestive of an author's nostalgia for a mythic past or an aberrant fantasy. In this WRITING INTENSIVE course we will examine the way the trope of the demonic woman has been used as a discrete literary strategy to either bolster or defy the modern national subject. Among the authors considered will be Izumi Kyoka, Kawabata Yasunari, Enchi Fumiko, and Oba Minako. All readings will be in English translation. Knowledge of Japanese language or literature is not required, though some familiarity will naturally prove helpful. PREREQUISITES: JUNIOR STANDING OR ABOVE, AND SOME BACKGROUND IN LITERATURE. |

| Description: | How do Taiwanese writers and filmmakers imagine, depict, and construct various spaces in which they live that are changing rapidly? How do they record and narrate the transformation of landscapes, negotiate with political ideologies, and reject or reinforce certain identifications? To better understand Taiwan society and culture as a whole, we will examine films and fictions that reflect momentous historical moments of this island's recent past and its present cosmopolitan condition. We will focus on issues concerning ethnic relations, displacement, imagined nostalgia, sexuality, political transformations and so forth. All literary texts and films will be in Chinese language. Prerequisites: Near-native fluency in reading in Chinese, advanced training in literary critical theories. Designed for graduate students; seniors with instructor's special permission only. |
