EALC 34704 - Culture in China Today

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Chinese

Description:

This course is part of Notre Dame's Business and Culture in China Today summer program. The course aims to provide students with the opportunity to explore, study, and reflect upon the ways in which culture intersects with business in China today. In particular, the course focuses on our examination of commercial aspects that are linked to the production and consumption of various forms of culture and cultural practice in China, including but not limited to art, advertising, film, television, the Internet, music, sports, and food. Since the course does not require previous knowledge of or exposure to Chinese culture, the course will provide a general introduction to China's history, cultures, and peoples. This introduction will serve as a foundation for our analysis of how culture is packaged and marketed for domestic and global consumption. The content of the course's classroom instruction is closely linked to guest lectures by scholars and business professionals, corporate visits, and field excursions to historic and cultural sites that are related to the objectives of the course.
