EALC 24950: The Inner Self in Modern Japanese Literature
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
As Japanese leaders in the mid-nineteenth century faced the threat of colonization at the hands of the Western powers, they launched a project to achieve "Civilization and Enlightenment," quickly transforming Japan into a global power that possessed its own empire. In the process, fiction became a site for both political engagement and retreat. Reading key literary texts from the 1880s through the 1930s as well as recent scholarship, this course retraces this historical and literary unfolding, paying special attention to the relationship between language and subjectivity. Texts in English . M. Bourdaghs. Autumn.

EALC 26400 /46400: Creation and Re-Creation of Yuan Drama
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course explores the Yuan zaju, or "variety play," both as a cluster of diverse performing arts of the Yuan dynasty (1271 to 1368) and as a legendary golden age of the Chinese theater created retrospectively by Ming drama aficionados and later by modern scholars. Taking the Yuanka n zaju sanshi zhong , a rare window into the print world of Yuan performance texts, as the core thread of our inquiry, we examine the linguistic, literary, musical, and other features of Yuan drama. We explore its rich after-life in the Ming by examining the complex relationships between Min g zaj u and their Yuan predecessors . Y. He. Autumn.

EALC 27410: Historicizing Desire
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course meets the critical/intellectual methods course requirement for students majoring in Comparative Literature. This course examines conceptions of desire in ancient China and ancient Greece through an array of early philosophical, literary, historical, legal, and medical texts (e.g., Mencius, Sima Qian, Book of Songs, Plato, Sappho). We attempt not only to bring out the cultural specificities of ancient erotic experience but also to make visible the historical and geopolitical contingencies of our own methods of reading. To do so, we explore the broader cultural background of the two ancient periods, and engage with theoretical debates on the history of sexuality, feminist and queer studies, and intercultural comparative studies. T. Chin. Winter.

EALC 27605: Hiroshima,Nagasaki,and Beyond
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
Knowledge of Japanese not required. This course considers the history of Hiroshima and Nagasaki through literature, film, photo essays, and nonfiction writing. We grapple with the shifting understanding of the bomb and continued nuclear testing, both within and without Japan, during the Cold War and to the present. We also study what many consider the current and ongoing form of nuclear war in the widespread deployment of depleted uranium in war zones and military bases. We compare nuclear bombing with other forms of bombing, on the one hand, and with its putative peaceful use as a source of energy. N. Field. Spring.
