| ASIAN LC 110 | The Japanese Role-Playing Game | TTh 3:30pm-4:50pm | |||||||||||||
ASIAN LC 110 The Japanese Role-Playing GameOverview of Course How do video games tell stories, and what kind of stories do they tell? How do the formal elements of the game experience shape the stories that they tell and the meanings that they convey? What historical contexts make those stories meaningful, and what is the significance of historical shifts in game form? In this class, we answer these questions through a study of the Japanese Role-Playing Game—the JRPG. We approach the JRPG as a genre, under the premises that cultural genres represent the formal crystallization of a set of cultural meanings, that individual works express particular meanings through manipulation of the details of form, that the evolution of form reflects historical shifts in cultural meanings, and that interpretation of an individual work thus demands knowledge of genre conventions, careful attention to the nuances of form, and rich historical contextualization. To study this genre, we begin by building skills of formal description and analysis, with attention to how scholars in different disciplines have attempted to theorize various formal elements. We then situate this genre in its historical context—the social and cultural crises facing Japan at the end of the 20th century—and examine the evolution and permutation of the form as it has been adapted to different narrative concerns between the late 90s and the present day. Though our focus is on the JRPG, the skills and modes of thinking that we develop—formal description and analysis, historical contextualization and interpretation, theoretical framing, critical evaluation—form the basis of humanistic study at the college level.

| ASIAN LC 290 | East Asian Religious Classics | TTh 11am-12:20pm | |||||||||||||
ASIAN LC 290 East Asian Religious ClassicsOverview of Course This course explores some of the most influential texts of the major East Asian religious and philosophical traditions including Confucianism, Daoism, Chan/Zen Buddhism, and Tibetan Buddhism still prominent in China, Japan, Tibet, and several other Asian societies today. The goal is to understand their significance in East Asian cultures, as well as consider what we can learn from these texts today. This course will probe the following questions: What are the major themes, dilemmas, and issues these texts address? How can humans achieve contentment in the world? What are the moral values these texts instill? Beyond this historical focus, this course will also reflect on ways that these literary and religious texts have been appropriated and adapted in the modern context. Each period dedicated to a specific text will be preceded by an introduction to the tradition it represents offering a historical background together with biographical and/or content outlines. Format The course format will include a combination of lecture and discussion. Students will be encouraged to exercise critical thinking and to participate in class discussions. Students will analyze primary source material in translation, critically evaluate content and concepts, and will be encouraged to synthesize the information and communicate it effectively and thoroughly. | |||||||||||||||

ASIAN LC 390* Buddhist Cultures and the Rhetoric of ViolenceThis course investigates the intersections between religion and violence in the context of Buddhist Asia while also considering why in many religious traditions there seem to be a link between the two. The course will be structured in two parts: in the first part students will be encouraged to build expertise in the basic concepts, definitions, and general academic consensus (as well as debates) about categories including “religion,” “violence,” “sacrifice,” “ritual,” “martyrdom,” and also “nationalism,” “politics,” and “terrorism” through reading both primary sources (in English translation) and secondary sources (scholarly writings). We will then move into an analysis of case studies that focus on specific circumstances where Buddhist rhetoric, scriptural authority, and religious practices have played a role in violence including suicide, terrorist-related actions, and self-immolation predominantly in pre- and modern Asia. Some of the provocative questions that this course asks include: Why and how is religion involved in politics? Is Buddhism a pacifist religion? How does religion rationalize violence? How can some Buddhist leaders embrace terror as a political tool? Are the recent practices of self-immolation in Tibet acts of violence? Can non-violence be violent?

ASIAN LC 397 Senior SeminarThis course will offer an focused and in-depth introduction to research methodology in the humanities with a focus on Asian languages and cultures. Course meetings will pair secondary readings on theoretical approaches to the field with structured exercises designed to hone students’ understanding of the research and writing process. These exercises will lead students toward the completion of a major research paper which is to be submitted at the end of the quarter. Though each student will pursue their own individual projects, they will engage one another’s ideas and questions collectively. Each week, students will present their progress, discuss their difficulties, and explore potential avenues of thought through collective discussion. In the final weeks of the course students will exchange drafts and provide commentary and feedback. Students whose projects do not engage South Asia, the field in which I focus, are encouraged to identity a faculty member working in their field with whom they will consult on their projects independently.

ASIAN LC 492* Readings in Tibetan Texts: Religious & Literary Texts1) Overview of CourseThis class over three quarters is designed to assist students who already have the equivalent of at least two-years of Tibetan language study. The course is intended to build on this foundation so that students gain greater proficiency in reading a variety of classical Tibetan writing styles and genres, including (especially in the third quarter) texts relevant to their research. We will explore various genres: canonical and other religious texts, religious songs (mgur), poetry (snyan ngag), biographies (rnam thar), avadanas (rtogs brjod), and histories. We will also look at administrative documents (gzhung yig), other manuscripts and scrolls to become familiar with the most common forms of Tibetan calligraphy. Students will gain facility in the use of Tibetan dictionaries essential for reading classical texts, in particular for understanding kāvya-derived ornamental vocabulary and rhetorical devices. 2) Learning ObjectivesStudents will learn to identify commonly found vocabulary, grammatical constructions and other conventions appearing in Classical Tibetan texts, including religious, literary, and historical genres. In the third quarter, students will be introduced to texts in dbu-med scripts and the abbreviated words (skung yig) often employed in these. They will learn how to identify texts helpful for their research and begin reading those texts. 3) Teaching Method:

| ASIAN LC 492* | Comparison and Interdisciplinarity | T 2pm-4:50pm | |||||||||||||
ASIAN LC 492* Comparison and InterdisciplinarityOverview of Course This seminar considers methods of comparison and interdisciplinarity in relation to the field of Comparative Literature. It offers a brief history of that field and some of its influential texts as a starting point for thinking through alternative methods of “doing” comparative and relational literary and cultural studies today. Of particular concern is the challenge of working within (or between) Eurocentric fields that struggle to make equal space for different traditions and the methods, questions, and theories best suited to them. What does it mean to work in a field that doesn’t necessarily understand the work you’re doing and why you’re doing it? Of equal importance is the challenge of working across fields that are epistemologically and institutionally isolated from one another. How, for example, do you bring insights from other fields (in which you are not formally trained) to bear on your own research, particularly when both home and “outside” fields are not in conversation with one another? What does scholarly rigor look like when it comes to interdisciplinary work? We will approach these challenges and questions by looking at recent comparative and interdisciplinary scholarship in several broad fields, including the environmental humanities.

| ASIAN LC 492* | Approaches to Asia | W 1pm-3:50pm | |||||||||||||
ASIAN LC 492* Approaches to AsiaOverview of Course This seminar considers methods of cultural analysis that have shaped the field of Asian Studies and questioned its status as an academic discipline and institutional formation. We begin with a brief history of the field, examining its roots in the philological practices and colonial knowledge production of its various subfields, before moving through the critique of area studies and into contemporary developments. While attending to the epistemological and political stakes of producing scholarship about literature, media, theory, and other forms of cultural production in Asia, we will explore the efficacy of particular practices of interpretation: from modes of theorization and historicization to close reading and translation. In terms of praxis, we will consider how we position ourselves within and between fields through the methods we use in our research. We will ask, for example: how can we make our work legible to scholars in overlapping disciplines and areas while remaining focused on a specific project? How and why might we put our work into dialogue with scholarship from academic fields outside of the Euro-American context? What role does translation play in the interpretive and writing process? How do we identify our audiences and how do we speak to them? Designed for students whose research involves studying aesthetic media and cultural practices in Asia, this seminar will approach these issues by examining the methods employed in recent and past scholarship in the fields that constitute Asian studies.

ASIAN LC 373* Fanā: Sufism and Islamic Mysticism in South Asian Art and LiteratureOverview of Course How do you convey an experience of the ineffable? How do you guide others along the path toward the divine presence? For many practitioners of Sufism in South Asia, the answer was and is art: literature, music, and the visual arts. These artistic and literary forms were, and remain, one of the primary means through which people in South Asia encountered and understood Islamic thought. Simultaneously artistic and spiritual, entertaining and didactic, these forms of artistic expression appeal to both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Today, Sufi literature and arts continue to occupy a central place in the artistic universe of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Thirteenth-century devotional appear in synthesized Bollywood love songs meant for popular audiences, pop-anthems quote 16th century savants, while listeners around the world enjoy remixes of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s devotional qawwalis. In short, Sufism and the arts are tightly intertwined in South Asia. This course will offer an introduction to this expansive theological and artistic history, exploring Islamic mysticism as it found expression in the arts and literatures of South Asia, as well as an examination of Sufism’s contribution to the development of South Asian art and popular culture. Our study will range from narrative poems in Braj Bhasha to pop songs in Persian, from erotic couplets in Urdu to esoteric quatrains in Sindhi. We will engage with scholarly approaches to Sufism, but primary sources will be the feature of this course. We will encounter at least one work in each session, analyzing it both as a work of artistic expression in its social and historical setting, and as a vehicle to convey the indescribable experience of divine love. We will also necessarily read Islamic mystical literatures produce outside of South Asia (Rumi, Attar, etc.), for the exchange of religious ideas and spiritual influence have always moved freely across the Islamic world. By the end of this course, students will have a thorough knowledge of the relationships between Islam, Sufism, literature and popular culture in South Asia.

JAPANESE 310* Japanese ModernismOverview of class This is an advanced course in reading and translation of modern Japanese, focusing on the literature of the Taisho and early Showa periods. We will examine a range of different genres, styles, and texts to consider what modernism was as an aesthetic, cultural, and intellectual movement within the literary arts. Through an examination of representative short stories, novels, poetry, and criticism the course will explore a series of questions including but not limited to: How can we define Japanese modernism? What are the aesthetic bases of modernist literature? How did writers and artists respond to contemporary political trends such as Marxism, feminism, imperialism, and nationalism? In what ways did modernist works reflect rapidly changing conceptions of space, time, and self in the early to mid-20th Century? Primary readings are in Japanese with discussion and theoretical readings in English. Registration Requirements Students must have completed JAPANESE 211-3 with C- or above, or must be placed into the class by the departmental placement test. Learning Objectives:

JAPANESE 313-1 Japanese IV: Japanese Newspaper Reading and News ListeningOverview of class JAPANESE 313-1 is an upper-intermediate fourth-year Japanese language course. All of the fourth-year Japanese courses have the common goal of bringing students’ overall proficiency towards the Advanced-Low defined by the proficiency guidelines of American Council on Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) as close as possible. JAPANESE 313-1 centers on the reading and analysis of news articles curated by the instructor. The focus will be on enhancing students’ news reading-comprehension abilities through systematic vocabulary building that includes collocations, idioms and kanji compounds. Students will have the opportunity to practice their newly acquired vocabulary in discussions that develop ideas from the articles read in class. Students will also hone their listening-comprehension skills by watching and listening to news. This course does NOT provide training for writing skills development (All students taking this course are expected to have at least the intermediate-level writing skills, equivalent to the end of JAPANESE 211-3, and should be able to write an opinion paper in the plain style). The students who need writing skills development should take JAPANESE 314-1.

ASIAN LC 321* Paying For It: Sex, Money, and LIterature in Early Modern JapanIn early modern or Edo-period (1600-1868) Japan, the licensed prostitution quarters of the three main cities (Kyoto, Osaka, Edo) were among the most fertile sites of literary production, and the courtesan was one of the most complex literary figures. This course examines the relationship between prostitution and literature in Japan during this period: how was the commodification of literature, through the emergence of a commercial publishing industry, related to the commodification of sex? Topics addressed include representation and the use of the courtesan as a literary symbol; tensions between literary image, lived experience, and embodied performance; questions of agency and identity politics, and the methodological challenges of reconstructing marginalized historical subjectivities; the role of media in producing sexual desires and norms of gender; ideological functions of the figures of courtesan and “geisha” in modern cultural imaginaries; and more. Our orienting concern is with understanding the logics of commodification in the early modern context: what was the impact of the commodity form on cultural production and social relations in early modern Japan, and how was it shaped by hierarchies of gender, class, and status? All readings are in English; no knowledge of Japanese is required or expected.
