The range of the texts in this course includes fictions, films, photographs, documentaries, TV commercials, etc. and we will discuss these cultural productions vis-a-vis the intensive process of globalization in this region (roughly the early 1990s and onwards) as well as in the context of rapidly growing inter-Asian cultural flows we are facing now. Also, moving beyond the selected texts as part of the literary/art genre, we will envision how these cultural productions are inseparable from our living surroundings, and how, these texts shape social memories, traditional Asian values, gender roles, nationalisms, and historical traumas. Section 2 【Course Objectives/Goals/Learning Outcomes】 This course aims to approach various examples of cultures from different Asian societies in the larger context of (East)Asia, past and present. The students are expected to understand the complex, intricate layers of different East Asian cultures and societies through cultural productions. We also aim to discuss the issues of translating literature/culture in the context of global cultural economy and its relations to the issues of national development and identity.
