ASIAN LANGUAGES AND CULTURES 101: Foundations of Asian Civilizations
3.00 Credits
Hobart William Smith Colleges
Definitions and boundaries of 'Asia' abound, just as descriptions about what constitutes the 'West' are many. In this course, we have selected three 'Asian' cultures; Indian, Chinese, and Japanese. We will first address some of the fundamental concepts of these cultures and then trace how these important traditions interacted with the 'West' especially in the 18th to the 20th centuries. We will see that the interactions between the Western powers and these 'Asian' cultures were often turbulent and antagonistic. These interactions challenged the 'Asian' countries to reassess their views of their places in the world and their fundamental social, philosophical, and religiou

ASIAN LANGUAGES AND CULTURES 209: The Golden Age of Chinese Culture
3.00 Credits
Hobart William Smith Colleges
Although China is known for its long history, it is best known for its golden age during the Tang and Song dynasties (618-1279). These two dynasties witnessed a rapid growth in thought, government structures, literature, art and many aspects of culture. The people of this period, from emperor/empress and aristocratic elite to storytellers and courtesans, contributed to the formation of an urban culture that was the richest in the world. While Europe was still in its dark age, China's golden age established the foundations of much of Asian culture. This course explores Tang and Song contributions to the Chinese cultural heritage.

ASIAN LANGUAGES AND CULTURES 210: Buddhism and Taoism through Chinese Literature
3.00 Credits
Hobart William Smith Colleges
Buddhism and Taoism have long been two important constituent elements of Chinese culture. Their influences on Chinese elite culture, social ethics, and popular values have inspired the use of such phrases as "The Age of Neo-Taoism" and "The Buddhist Age" to characterize some periods of Chinese history. Though many Chinese intellectuals were suspicious of and even hostile towards these two religions and sometimes labeled them as "heterodox," they could not deny the fact that the two teachings had become an integral part of Chinese elite and popular culture. This course is an introduction to the major ideas of Chinese Buddhism and Taoism as they were represented and interpreted in various texts and narratives. (H uang, offered annua

Are Chinese women still submissive, powerless, and silent as commonly perceived What roles are Chinese women playing in the present-day China and international societies These are among the oft-asked questions this course attempts to answer. By contextualizing Chinese women in pre-modern China, nationalist China, and communist China, this course attempts to show their different characteristics in different periods. Special attention, however, is given to women in social and cultural settings in contemporary China. A variety of works, including history, fiction, and films are used to acquaint students with dramatic changes, multifaceted images, gender problems of Chinese women in the post-Mao era.

At its peak, Ottoman domains encompassed what we know today as the Balkans, Greece, Turkey, and the "Middle East"-the successor states to the great empire of Byzantium in the west and the Arab conquests in the east. And of the great cities of the world, Istanbul sat at its heart. This course examines the nature of empire in the Ottoman experience, the emergence of nationalism and capitalist economies, and the legacy of Ottoman rule today through the achievements-and failures-of Ottoman society, culture, and statecraft, and the microcosm of Ottoman society that was, and is, Istanbul.

ASIAN LANGUAGES AND CULTURES 215: Environment and Development in East Asia

Rapid development in East Asia has brought prosperity to many but has also created serious environmental problems. Rivers and lakes suffer from pollution and algal blooms; water tables have dropped dramatically; farmland has been polluted by industrial chemicals and over-fertilization; and cities choke on pollution from industry and automobiles. This course explores the environmental challenges facing East Asia as well as how governments and other groups are addressing them through various approaches to "sustainable development."
