East Asian Art I: China, Korea, Japan to 1000CE

Professor Michele Matteini | MW: 3:30 PM - 4:45 PM

An introduction to the art and culture of the Far East, presented in a chronological and thematic approach corresponding to the major dynastic and cultural changes of China, Korea, and Japan. Teaches how to "read" works of art in order to interpret a culture or a historical period; aims at a better understanding of the similarities and differences among the cultures of the Far East. Also under ARTH-UA 510.

China in the Republic Period, 1911-1949

Professor Rebecca Karl | TR: 11:00 AM - 12:15 PM

Introduces the contours of Republican-era China (1911-1949), including some of the major issues and historical themes that emerged during the period. Focus on the problems of cultural production, urbanization, social division, and war. Engages not only with the history but, to some extent, with the academic debates on this history as well. Presumes some basic knowledge of modern China. Heavy reading and writing load.

The Cold War in Asia: 1945-2001

Approaches to Chinese Cinema

Professor Todd Foley | TR: 2:00 PM - 3:15 PM

Beginning with one of the earliest Chinese films still in existence and ending with a 2017 blockbuster, our class will examine not only a variety of Chinese films spanning nearly a hundred years of production, but also a number of different intellectual approaches to understanding these films. By focusing on one selected film per week, we will develop our own critical capacities in a way that pays attention to issues of history, politics, ideology, the material conditions of production, aesthetics, and intellectual life. We will generally follow a chronological organization and focus on important works by major directors from different parts of the Sinophone world. We will complement our critical focus on individual films with a selection of secondary readings, some of which will help to paint a broader picture of Chinese cinematic history, and some of which will provide specific readings of films through a variety of interpretive methods. The course is by no means exhaustive, and after being introduced to these several representative films and critical approaches, by the end of the semester students will hopefully be better equipped to continue navigating this rich field of cinematic production on their own.

Japanese Animation and New Media

Professor Thomas Looser | W: 2:00PM - 4:45PM

This course looks at the terms and conditions of Japanese animation (primarily, though not exclusively, anime) as, in many ways, a new and unique mode of expression. The course is framed in which anime might, or might not, shift earlier modes of expression (both literary and animated): the prevalence of mythology in animation and the tension between mythology and ideology; the importance of genre; and the impact of old and new media on narrative structure and reception. Implications of these conditions for thinking about Japanese culture are also considered.

Topics in Asian Studies: Avant-Garde Art in Post-War South Korea

Professor Sooran Choi | MW: 2:00PM - 3:15PM

The course examines post-WWII art and visual culture in South Korea and investigates why Western notions and forms of the avant-garde held such importance. By looking at various manifestations of resistance that emerged in South Korean art and visual culture, a complex relationship between art and politics will be explored. South Korea was led by the military, authoritarian governments that operated under a Cold War ideology after the Korean War (1950-1953) ended. Human rights and political dissent were often severely constrained and communist witch hunts were prevalent. The course focuses on several South Korean art collectives which engaged in avant-garde forms of art, music, performance, and literature to advance their cultural and political critique of the military regimes.

Topics in Asian Studies: Feeling Intimacy and Isolation in East Asian Literature, Film, and New Media

Professor Daniel Johnson | TR: 12:30PM - 3:15PM
Love is, as a concept and feeling, wrapped up in promises about romance and eroticism, but can also be connected to familial bonds and friendship, as well as pain and disappointment. These sentiments play a powerful role in defining personal experience, identity, and social formations between public and private life, and particularly in terms of how we understand our feelings of belonging, intimacy, and happiness. Love also has historical dimensions for us to consider, and has often been mediated by the relationship of the individual to the state and law. Looking at works of literature, film, and new media produced in modern and contemporary East Asia, this course will examine some of the ways that love has been articulated and experienced by different types of people within the region. We will play close attention to how cultural and historical contexts have shaped these instances of love, their relationship to questions of gender, desire, as well as dynamics of public/private and intimate/isolate. How did the arrival of modern life in East Asian challenge and transform expectations for romance and personal happiness for people in Japan, China, and Korea? In what ways has the atomization of life through neoliberal politics shifted our expectations and possibilities for intimacy? No knowledge of East Asian languages is required for this course. Apologies to Tina Turner.

Topics in Korean Studies: Cosmopolitan Desires and Korean Imaginations

Professor Yoon Jeong Oh | T: 11:00AM - 1:45PM

This course examines critical and aesthetic cosmopolitan discourses in contemporary cultural formations in Korea. We will take a look at the emergence and importance of the city in South Korea, and its relationship to or divergence from cosmopolitan ideas. By putting Seoul into dialogue with other cosmopolises, such as New York, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, and others, we will analyze the relationship between disparate topics from colonization to zombies, and pop culture to cosmopolitan anxieties and deserted islands. We will tackle critical questions about the parallels between the global (cosmo) and the local (polis), how to challenge that dichotomy, what it means to build and desire for a cosmopolitan city, and how Seoul participates in cosmopolitan imaginations. Texts will include Yi Kwang-su, Frantz Fanon, Walter Benjamin, Henri Lefebvre, films by Bong Joon-ho, and city symphony films.

Topics in Korean Studies: Korean Culture and Society through K-Pop

Professor Hye Eun Choi | TR: 6:45PM - 8:00PM

This course examines the transitions in Korean culture and society through modern popular music from the turn of the twentieth century to the latest K-pop hits. We will study the trajectory of changes in the production, circulation, and reception of Korean popular music not only across successive political, social, and economic junctures but also within major themes such as nationalism, race, gender, technology, and globalization. We will also investigate modern popular music and music culture as they relate to such subjects as hybridity, authenticity, transculturation, cyber-culture, and fandom. Classes will consist of lectures and discussions, and relevant music and video clips will be screened. No prior knowledge of Korean is required.

Topics in Chinese Studies: Of Bandits, Saints, and Beasts

Professor Moss Roberts | TR: 12:30PM - 1:45PM

Although Confucianism and its “down to earth” approach to ethics and political rule dominated Chinese
government since the middle of the Han Dynasty, and literary Chinese writing dominated poetry and
formal writing for educated scholars and officials, vernacular fiction was wildly popular during the late
Ming dynasty and Qing dynasties. Such novels and short stories were written in language closer to the
people’s common speech and playfully violated, though sometimes reinforced the established political,
ethical, and religious hierarchies and boundaries with the inclusion of supernatural feats and creatures,
saints and rebels, and the mingling of humans and beasts.

Topics in Chinese Studies: Chinese Literature & World Literature

Professor Todd Foley | TR: 6:20PM - 9:00PM

What is Chinese literature, and what is world literature? Is Chinese literature world literature? Are these questions even worth asking? Through a combination of literary texts and theoretical readings, this course will approach these basic questions from a number of different angles. Our attempts to interrogate the slippery categories of “Chinese literature” and “world literature” will take us through a variety of modern and contemporary Chinese works by a diverse group of writers. At the same time as we engage in a close literary analysis of these texts, we will examine the many ways the categories of “Chinese” and “world” literature can become complicated, including through issues of translation, genre, politics, culture, nation, and literary assessment. By the end of the course, we hope to have developed a productive critical perspective on the notions of “national literature” and “world literature” by working through the particular set of problems Chinese literature presents these categories.

Topics in Japanese Studies: Meiji Japan and the Nation-State (CANCELLED)
