辅修东亚研究

本课程调查了从史前到现在的“非西方”社会的艺术. 讨论的文化包括南亚和东南亚, 中国和日本, 非洲, 和美洲文化(被征服前和美洲原住民). The term “Non-Western” traditionally refers to cultures that initially developed outside the realm of Western culture 和 at some distance from the European artistic tradition. 这个词不仅过于宽泛，而且存在问题, 因为它暗示着对西方艺术的反对. 我们将探讨这些问题. The main objective of the course is to provide students with a global perspective on the richness 和 diversity of art produced by the cultures studied. It also considers the impact of colonization 和 globalization on the treatment of artworks from non-western cultures 和 the development of 新 art forms.

日本的明治时期从1868年持续到1912年. 在这大约四十年的时间里, Japan embarked on an ambitious program of Western-style modernization that left no aspect of the nation untouched. It was a period of rapid 经济 growth 和 industrialization that allowed Japan to challenge the Western powers 和 create its own empire in East Asia by the early twentieth century, 但随之而来的社会, 政治, 经济转型给许多日本人带来了权力，也给他们带来了混乱. 在这个研讨会上, 我们将在政治上广泛阅读, 社会, 和 cultural history of the Meiji period to develop an underst和ing of the period's powerful shaping influence on the course Japan took in the twentieth century. 此外，二级学术由明治时期的主要权威机构, we will read works of 文学 和 view several films that illuminate the complexities 和 tensions within Meiji society.

武士这个词来源于动词saburau，意思是“服务”.“日本武士为谁服务?, 以及是什么让他们的“服务”成为必要? 武士是如何成为日本中世纪的主要政治人物的? 在17世纪初德川幕府成功平定日本之后, how did a 社会 group whose elite status derived from their role as warriors adapt-or fail to adapt-to a long period of peace? These are some of the questions we will seek to answer through our discussion of primary sources 和 secondary scholarship on Japan's samurai warriors. 我们将把重点放在近代早期, but the seminar provides an overview of the 历史 development of the samurai dating back to their origins in the tenth century. 一旦我们到了德川时期, we will also take a broader look at a changing Japanese 社会 structure in which commoners-和 merchants in particular-began to overtake the samurai. 在学期结束时, 我们将考虑布什思想的发展, 或者“勇士之道”," as an invented tradition that played an important role during Japan's transformation into a modern nation-state. 这门课也是现代语言研究专业的选修课. 《武士的黄昏:早期现代日本》与《十大网络娱乐平台排名》相遇. 除了4850的学生需要一篇研究论文外，课程的要求是相同的.

In this course we will be investigating the cultural history of history of Japan in the early modern 和 modern periods, 重点是十九世纪和二十世纪. 具体地说, 重点发展“大众文化”,这个词的多重(和相互冲突的)含义我们将在整个学期中讨论. Our exploration of “popular culture” will extend to aspects of everyday life (or “lifestyles”) as well as works of art, 文学, 音乐, 和电影. 我们将一起研究各种文本, 音乐流派, 漫画, 电影(真人和动画), 总是试图在历史变迁的背景下解释它们. 这将是一门严谨且具有智力挑战的课程, 但它也意味着提供一个令人愉快的日本丰富的文化遗产概览.

本课程探讨了宗教的现代建设和宗教作为一种法律, 国际, 历史, 文化范畴. 我们将研究哪些定义和假设在起作用，以及谁发明了宗教传统, 维护, 或者为了什么而改变. 被审问的分类包括宗教的、精神的和世俗的、学术的和民间的. 研究的材料和运动包括有意挑衅性的古代并置, 新, 部落, 世界, 本地化与国际化. It is common in contemporary discourse to privilege individual freedom to choose or create a religious identity, 因此, this course will pay special attention to the ways in which spirituality obscures the extent to which individualistic ideology legitimates the creation of self-identity through consumer 和 lifestyle choices.
