ASIAN STUDIES 212c: d-ESD,IP.Writing China from Afar
3.00 Credits
Bowdoin College
Spring 2007. BELINDA KONG. The telling of a nation's history is often the concern not only of historical writings but also of literary ones. Examines some shaping moments of twentieth-century China - the Second World War, the Cultural Revolution, the Tiananmen Massacre, and most recently, the Three Gorges Dam project - with specific focus on literature by authors born and raised in China, but since dispersed into a western diaspora, including the United States, Canada, Britain, and France. Considers works across multiple genres, written in English as well as those in translation. Critical issues include the distinction between immigration and exile, the relationship between history and literature, the grounds of representational authority, and the complexities of narrating violence. Authors may include Ha Jin, Annie Wang, Anchee Min, Ying Chen, Jung Chang, Hong Ying, J. G. Ballard, Gao Xingjian, Dai Sijie, Shan Sa, Yang Lian, and Bei Dao. (Same as English 283.) Prerequisite: One first-year seminar or 100-level course in the English Department, or one course in Asian Studies.

ASIAN STUDIES 215c: Anthropology of Pilgrimage
3.00 Credits
Bowdoin College
Spring 2007. SUNIL GOONASEKERA. Today, there is a consensus among some educated people that pilgrimages are irrational and performed by the unenlightened. Another perspective balances this consensus with the view that pilgrimages are profoundly meaningful and enlightening. The latter view is held not only by traditional people but also by many sociologists and anthropologists. Develops a discussion about this controversy and explores the second perspective with special reference to theories of pilgrimage, and how these theories relate to the experiences of the pilgrims. Several ethnographies of pilgrimages to Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, and Islamic holy places are discussed in light of sociological and anthropological theories. (Same as Religion 231.)
