Modern Asian Literature and Its Role in Education Across Asia and Beyond
MODERN ASIAN LITERATURE AND ITS ROLE IN EDUCATION ACROSS ASIA AND BEYOND Ali Mustofa English Language and Literature Department, Faculty of Languages and Arts, Universitas Negeri Surabaya E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Modern Asian literature is all works of literature produced in Asia and those which talk about Asia and beyond. When discussing Asian literature, it will also signify the works of literature that have been written by Asian writers and also by other writers from other countries which of course, about Asia. Today’s trend for Asian literary studies has shifted from a postcolonialism perspective to cultural studies since the latter has developed very fast in the rapid changing of cultural, regional, and multinational diversities. The issues in Asian literature have also touched the grounds of transnational and multidimensional problems which give more room toward different interpretations of nations and identity. Those issues will also bring up the ideas of the role of Asian literature in education across Asia and beyond since they contribute directly and indirectly to the development of the educational curriculum in Asia and other neighboring countries. The paper will briefly share some insights into the nature of Asian literature and its position in the English language studies curriculum in Asia and beyond. It also discusses some issues related to the role of Asian literature in Asian education which specifically addresses the issues of nation-building through the understanding of “the self” and “the other” in a postcolonial perspective, and at the same time rediscovers the very nature of “Asia’s sense” as well as “Asian eyes” in the scope of language and cultural studies.

Williams of literary and scholarly figures who were important in their time and remain relevant to our epoch, and yet whose significance has been poorly understood. “The ten inquisitive and energetic authors explore a variety of topics from ‘bad-girl’ writers in contemporary China to Sanskrit poetesses in medieval India, from urban migration to avant-garde theater, and from genre paintings to writing systems.” Victor H. Mair, Professor of Chinese Language and Literature, University of Pennsylvania “This excellent book of essays represents the best of the conference volume genre. It includes concepts of the ideal lover, historical fiction and elite women’s reading in Chôson Korea and Meiji Japan, and how Europeans invented ‘Sinology’.” Michael S. Duke, Professor Emeritus of Chinese and Comparative Literature, University of British Columbia “This engaging volume deepens our understanding of how Asian civilizations have evolved not only through their contact with the West, but with one another as well.” Timothy R.

2020 Fall Semester ASP East Asian Literature and Culture in Translation B (Online) Section 1 Instructor/Title Hyunjung Lee/Professor Office/Building 2434/Nakamiya Building 2 Office Hours n/a Contacts (E-mail) [email protected] 【Course Outline / Description】 This course examines literary texts/films and various forms of cultures from different countries of East Asian region (Japan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, etc.). 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.

Masterworks of Asian Literature in Comparative Perspective

The strategy was, in effect, to expose participating Western humanists—of whom I was one—to the literature by reading works in translation and drafts of critical essays in Comparative on the works. The essays collected here are the final versions of those drafts. Perspective Wisely, the project does not address curricular issues directly (they are, of course, formidable, and ultimately need to be thought A Guide for Teaching about). The project is primarily concerned with providing basic information and intelligent critical discussions of the works.

As the 10th edition of ICAS is taking place in Asia, it will be greatly beneficial and intellectually challenging to invite Asia scholars to use this platform to discuss and exchange ideas on how we can better understand the changes that are happening in this region today. The conference is envisaged as an opportunity for participants to question the old paradigms and to search for new ones that can help us to analytically investigate the emerging economic, political and social order, as well as to conceive a realisation of the need for a new methodology to help us in better dealing with the problems of environment degradation, migration, authoritarianism, ethnic conflict, inequality, commoditisation of culture, and so forth.

World Literature: Asia in This Twelve-Week Unit, Students Read and Discuss Ancient and Modern Asian Literature, Especially from China, India, and Japan
Grade 10 ► Unit 2 World Literature: Asia In this twelve-week unit, students read and discuss ancient and modern Asian literature, especially from China, India, and Japan. OVERVIEW By reading the diverse selections in this unit, students consider the role of ancient philosophies, universal themes, Western influence, and historical change in these works. In addition, students listen to recordings of some of the poems in the original language so that they may appreciate their sounds, structures, and rhythms. Note: The tenth-grade World Literature Maps consist of four twelve-week units, each focusing on literature from a different part of the world. Select three out of the four units. As the middle unit will likely cross from one semester into another, it should be divided accordingly. Alternatively, teachers may choose to teach all four units by shortening each and selecting fewer works. FOCUS STANDARDS These Focus Standards have been selected for the unit from the Common Core State Standards. RL.9-10.2: Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze in detail its development over the course of the text, including how it emerges and is shaped and refined by specific details; provide an objective summary of the text. RL.9-10.5: Analyze how an author’s choices concerning how to structure a text, order events within it (e.g., parallel plots), and manipulate time (e.g., pacing, flashbacks) create such effects as mystery, tension, or surprise. RI.9-10.1: Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
