EAST ASIAN STUDIES 493A,494A - Literature And Film of The Chinese And Japanese City

Institution:

Connecticut College

Subject:

Description:

A study of the various ways the city has been conceptualized in China and Japan since the early 19th-century. We will attempt to understand and adjudicate between competing visions of the city as -on one hand-a site of alienation, anonymity, anxiety, repression, and culturaldislocation, and-on the other hand-as a site of community, carnival,open-ended possibility, and welcome cultural ferment. Course materials will include essays, travel-writings, novels, short stories, films, maps, and contemporary illustrations, as well as theoretical and historical readings. Students will receive guidance in advanced research methods, and must present a seminar paper.
