This course will emphasize three dimensions of the Sino-Japanese relations: domestic, cross-border, and global. This course aims at exploring various research materials and looking for possible answers from the pasts to major problems between China and Japan today. How to put the Chinese-Japanese relations in a global context? How did the Sino-Japanese relations influence the US relations with East Asia? Why has Koizumi Junichiro�s visit to Yasukuni Shrine been a major diplomatic problem between China and Japan during the past years? What is the �Textbook Problem�? Did Nanjing Massacre ever happen? Why did Chinese college students launch an anti-Japanese demonstration almost sixty years after the second Sino-Japanese war ended in 1945? Major themes to be covered include: Historical events and figures, Cultural interactions, and Diplomatic relations. This is a reading and discussion seminar. Students are expected to read cross-disciplinary writings and to discuss questions crossing historical periodization marks in East Asia. Course materials include historical, anthropological and literature texts, as well as newspapers, magazines, and films. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
