ANTH 305 - Women in East Asian Anthropological and Literary Considerations

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Crossing national and disciplinary boundaries, this course will examine through the perspectives of anthropology and literature the lives of women in three East Asian countries: China, Japan and Korea. Deeply influenced by Confucianism and Buddhism, these three countries share cultural characteristics yet present striking social differences. Drawing on novels, memoirs, ethnography and film, we will compare women's experiences in family life, religious practice, the workplace and battlefield. As we consider similarities and differences, we will also scrutinize the common practice of grouping these three countries as a cultural entity, thus complicating our understanding of the idea of East Asia. 1.00 units, Seminar
