Program of Study

The Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations offers a B.A. program in East Asian studies that introduces students to the traditional and modern civilizations of China and Japan and provides them with the opportunity to achieve a basic reading and speaking knowledge of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. This program is interdisciplinary and students may take relevant courses in both the humanities and the social sciences.

Program Requirements

The major requires a three-quarter second-year sequence in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. In addition, students are directed to take Introduction to the Civilizations of East Asia I, II, III (EALC 10800-10900-11000) to meet the civilization studies requirement in general education. This sequence is cross listed with HIST 15100-15200-15300. Beyond the second-year language requirement, students are required to take Issues in East Asian Civilizations (EALC 27105). A further nine courses related to East Asia are required, three of which may be either an additional year of the East Asian language to meet the language requirement for the major or a year of a second East Asian language (neither of these two language options may be met by examination credit). A maximum of six quarters of language counts toward the major. A minimum of three of the nine courses should be in the same discipline (e.g., history, literature, art history). A maximum of six approved courses taken while studying abroad may count toward program requirements. Before declaring their major in EALC, students must meet with the director of undergraduate studies (ideally before the end of their second year) to discuss their areas of interest.

It took various forms (mainly poetry and prefaces to poetry collections, letters, some drama, and novels in verse) and was produced primarily by gentry women (e.g., women from elite families), courtesans, and nuns.

21906. The Politics of Japanese Literary Modernism. (=EALC 21906) PQ: EALC 10900 required; ability to read Japanese not required. The aesthetic revolution envisioned by experimental Japanese authors in the second and third decades of the twentieth century shared a fundamental logic with the image of political revolution espoused in the same years by Japan's powerful Proletarian Literature movement. This modernist disposition, moreover, would later express itself in the openly reactionary language of cultural retreat and military expansion. This course examines a range of critical articles and fictional texts in English translation that allows students to reassess the meaning and value of such categories as "modernism," "realism," and "revolution" in twentieth-century Japanese literature. Texts in English. G. Golley. Winter.

24602/34602. Objects of Japanese History. (=ARTH 29704/39704, EALC 24806, HIST 24602/34602) For course description, see Art History. J. Ketelaar, H. Thomsen. Spring.

25506/35506. Gender and Japanese History. (=EALC 25506, GNDR 24701/34700, HIST 24802/34802) For course description, see History. S. Burns. Autumn, 2004.

26607/36607. Was Every Girl a Modern Girl? Topics in Modern Japanese Women's History. Knowledge of Japanese not required. So seductive are the terms "modern girl" and "new woman" that they tend to stand in for modern (post-1868) Japanese women's history. In this course, we look at various materials (i.e., historical, literary, film) to situate the "modern" and the "new." Who gets included? Who falls out? How might dropouts shape Japan's modernity? We revise these terms--expanding and limiting their use, perhaps even discarding them--depending on our background and inclinations. N. Field. Spring, 2006.

30100-30200-30300. Advanced Modern Japanese I, II, III. PQ: JAPN 20300 or equivalent, or consent of instructor. Must be taken for a letter grade.

Classes are conducted mostly in Korean and meet for fifty-minute periods five times a week. O. C. Pyun. Autumn, Winter, Spring.

24306. Autobiographical Writings, Gender, and Modern Korea. (=EALC 24306, GNDR 25300) Knowledge of Korean not required.
