Rohini ShuklaThis course explores the core classical literature in Chinese, Japanese and Korean Humanities. The main objective of the course is to discover the meanings that these literature offer, not just for the original audience or for the respective cultures, but for us. As such, it is not a survey or a lecture-based course. Rather than being taught what meanings are to be derived from the texts, we explore meanings together, informed by in-depth reading and thorough ongoing discussion.

Lu KouThis course traces the history of Korean cinema and literature from the 1930s to the early 2000s. Particular attention is given to colonialism, national division, war, gender relations, authoritarianism, urbanization, consumer culture, and diaspora. What kinds of familial, social, economic, and political relations do these films and literary works envision? We will link films and literary texts to their historical context, noting how representations of people, places, and ideas have changed over time—from colonialism, through poverty and malaise in the aftermath of the Korean War, to North Korea’s continuing search for autonomy in the world system and South Korea’s current position as global economic power and maker of the “Korean Wave ”

Theodore HughesThis course explores the intersection of cultural production with national policies and global economies in the context of Tibet. We will focus not on colonial sources (Mythos Tibet) but on a wide range of representational and expressive practices by contemporary Tibetans in film, literature, music, social media, art, performance, local museums, etc. -- all since the 1990s. Tibetan cultural production today is at once localized and transnational, whether it is the vision and work of artists in the People's Republic of China or the creation of Tibetans living in the diaspora. We will explore the impact of colonialism and socioeconomic marginalization on the de-centering and re-centering of ethnicity and identity in education, publishing, and the arts. How do Tibetan artists, musicians, filmmakers, writers, comedians, and other cultural producers negotiate the complexities of modernity, secularization, globalization and political agendas, vis-à-vis incentives to preserve traditions, while engaging creatively?
Each week will focus on 2 to 3 primary sources and 1 or 2 related secondary readings. Our discussions of the primary source materials (film screenings, readings, artwork, performances, etc.) will be enriched with readings in Cultural Studies, sociology, and anthropology, and by conversations with area artists.

Lydia LiuMiddle Period China, often seen as a pivotal point of inflection and transformation, is currently subject to ongoing debate regarding its scope and definition. This graduate course aims to approach literature from this era by moving beyond the traditional framework of Tang-Song literary history. It considers literature a key variable in this historic crossroads and recontextualizes it within the broader landscape of cultural history. This course analyzes primary texts along with topics like periodization, Sino-barbarian discourses, cultural memory, materiality of texts, urban culture, gender politics, etc.

Lili XiaThis seminar examines the body and bodily practices in various performance traditions in Tibet and China by reading theory from the fields of performance and dance studies alongside regional case studies of dances and dramas in East Asia. In addition to required course readings, students will watch performances on film (though also live in New York City where/if possible), read play scripts, and participate in practicums to gain an embodied understanding of the course’s subject matter. Practicums include workshops with the Tibetan Service Center of New York City, dance journalist Karen Greenspan, and the Kunqu Society of New York. After a brief introduction to the fields of performance and dance studies, course meetings will focus on different performative bodily expressions; for example, the expression of “culture,” history, politics, affect and emotion, and so on.

Seong-Uk KimPremodern Chinese literati (wenren 文人) have long been regarded as spokesmen of “This Culture of Ours” (siwen 斯文)—a metonym for civilization in the premodern Sinitic context—
while they also fed from, partook in, and gave shape to popular and foreign cultures. Besides “literary writings” (wenzhang 文章) like poetry and prose, literati also engaged in calligraphy,
painting, and antiquarianism under the umbrella term of “literary or cultural arts” (wenyi 文藝). In turn, creation and appreciation of artwork (“cultural or civil objects,” wenwu 文物) were
intrinsic to the leisurely and aesthetic life of literati community and further established their self-identity.
Covering the long trajectory of imperial China over 3,000 years, this course reveals the birth and growth of literati culture from the beginning, to its full bloom since the Northern Song dynasty (960–1126), to the shifting patterns across the second millennium. In particular, this course takes an interdisciplinary approach to literati culture, introducing intellectual and poetic discourses, socio-historical contexts, literary criticism, visual and material culture, to envision a “common ground” for their civil world. Textual, visual sources plus material objects are meant to have conversations with each other in this course. Important issues include historical transformations of the elite class, cultural geography in different eras, materiality and visuality of elite calligraphy and painting, literati self-expression through aesthetic practice, the roles of the court and literati in producing and preserving art, as well as other relevant issues such as gender studies, vernacular literature, and commodity society.
No background in Chinese language is required in this course, and all reading materials—either translation of primary sources or secondary scholarship—are accessible in English. But students are expected to have a basic familiarity with classical traditions of China. By the end of the semester, students will have grasped a comprehensive insight of literati culture in premodern China, acquired the skills to understand and analyze key textual and visual sources, and kept abreast of up-to-date scholarship in this field. Ideally, this course will help students shed new light on Chinese literary traditions from multi-medial and interdisciplinary perspectives.

Lili XiaExamines the social and cultural place of Chinese religions through time, focusing on Chinese ideas of the relation between humans and spirits, and the expression of those ideas in practice. Problems will include the long-term displacement of ancestors by gods in Chinese history; the varying and changing social functions of rituals, and the different views of the same ritual taken by different participants; the growth of religious
commerce from early modern times on. Topics will be organized roughly chronologically but the emphasis is on broad change rather than historical coverage.
