They can communicate appropriately using a variety of speech styles. They are able to read and write more complex texts with a solid understanding of main ideas and supporting details on familiar topics from a variety of texts. Prerequisite: L05 213 (grade of B- or better) or placement by examination. |

| | Description: | An examination of key turning points in the history of Japan from the mid-19th century to the present, this course uses film, in addition to written materials, to gain an understanding of political and social transformation over time. We focus in particular on the role of public servants in facilitating and, at times, obstructing change. Students will view and discuss eleven films screened in Japanese with English subtitles, including The Twilight Samurai, To Live, and Shin Godzilla. In-person attendance at screenings is required. Through written and visual materials, students will learn about the history of Japan, consider the value of public service, and evaluate the utility of film for engaging the past. |

| | Description: | This course is an introduction to Pure Land Buddhism, one of the most popular forms of Buddhism all over East Asia, from its inception to the 21st century. Centered around the worship of a buddha called Amitabha (C. Amituo; K. Amita; J. Amida), Pure Land Buddhism is a complex tradition that during its long history has included sophisticated visualization practices, simple vocalizations, elaborated doctrinal discussions, and apocalyptic worldviews. In this course, students will adopt a multidisciplinary approach and explore the history, literature, art and practices of Pure Land Buddhism in China, Korea and Japan. In particular, the course will focus on the relationship between devotionalism, practice and salvation; and on discourses about human nature and their implications in terms of approaches to Buddhism. In other words, what do we do when the world as we know it seems to be ending? Students will read primary sources drawn from a wide range of genres - meditation manuals, letters, canonical scriptures and hagiographic narratives. They will familiarize themselves with the most important figures, deities and texts of the Pure Land traditions in East Asia, and they will study the arts and material culture of Pure Land Buddhism, one of the richest in East Asia. No prior coursework on Buddhism or East Asia is required. Fulfills premodern elective for EALC major. |

| | Description: | How do artisans approach the task of making? If different cultures of making exist, what forms do they take and why? In this course, students will explore these and other questions concerning the central human activity that is the production of material objects. From a Korean rice wine brewer to a Japanese clockmaker and to the Shanzhai cellphone manufacturers, makers in East Asia have distinguished themselves as skillful practitioners throughout history. The aim of this course is to understand their ways of production -- and how these, in turn, evolved alongside broader changes in society and culture. The course begins by appreciating the challenges of studying making cultures and the importance of material, hands-on research, which involves, for instance, cooking with historical recipes. The course then investigates the history of artisanship in relation to social structures and statecraft and the many ways in which it unfolded in Korea, Japan, and China and across various artifacts, from kimchi and porcelain to steam engines and Van Gogh paintings. For the term project, students have the option of reworking a historical recipe or artifact from East Asia before the modern era. During this process, students will learn by doing and explore the tacit knowledge involved in the creation and maintenance of craft practices. This course is primarily for sophomores and juniors with a major or minor in the Department of East Asian Languages & Cultures. Other students may enroll with permission. No prior knowledge of East Asia is required. Fulfills premodern elective for EALC major. |
