CHIN Language Processing

This course introduces concepts and methods in natural language processing that enable efficient empirical research, with special attention to address issues related to Chinese language processing such as word segmentation, character encoding, and acoustic attributes of Chinese speech sounds. A combination of tools will be used in class, including Linux commands, shell scripts, R, and Praat. The goal of the course is to develop skills and linguistic pattern awareness needed to design experiment, extract information from databases, analyze experimental and corpus data, and to develop digital humanities research. This course has no pre-requisite for statistical and computational skills. Students are encourage to take their projects to class as exploratory data. Mac or Linux are preferred.

Section Title:
Encounters btw Chine and West
Section Info:
This course, in the form of graduate seminar, explores the intellectual and cultural dynamics arising from the contact between China and the West from the late Qing to the socialist “New Era.” With ten case studies as points of departure, we seek to understand how the literary, intellectual, and medial representations brought the world and China together. We investigate how the trans-cultural flow has veered the course of modernizing China and configuring a new Chinese subjectivity, and how these “encounters”—at individual, institutional, discursive, and historical levels—have participated in China’s modernity projects such as enlightenment and revolution.

Writers/JAPN Culture
Section Info:
Topic: Writers and Sino-Japanese Cultural Interaction 600-1900. What is the East Asian cultural sphere? How did cultural interaction with China shape the literary cultures of East Asian countries? What role did women writers play in the process? How did attitudes toward China and Japan evolve over time? In this course, we will answer these questions and many other while exploring a wide range of literary, philosophical, and religious texts from the early days of Sino-Japanese contact to the 1900s. All reading will be in English. Earlier coursework in East Asian studies desirable. “Graded” workload for graduate and undergraduate students.

Cultural Hist Ming Qing China

Topic: Communications, Formation of Publics and Law in Ming-Qing China. This course introduces students to recent scholarly works on the approaches, methodologies, and major issues in the study of the history of public formation in the Ming (1368) and Qing (1644-1911) periods. We will focus on the intersecting histories of communications, information regime, and law in the construction of publics. Works are selected from various disciplines and fields of study, covering a wide range of issues critical to our understanding of the role of print media, information regime, auto-organizations, and law in the formation of publics in Ming-Qing China. Participation in discussion is required and students are responsible for presentations. There will be written assignments and a final paper.

Section Title:
Historiography of Mod Japn
Section Info:
Topic:Historiography of Modern Japan. In this course, we will explore a variety of global phenomena as they played out in early modern and modern Japan. Divided into two parts, this course begins with a focus on the English-language scholarship from the 1950s to the present with the aim of exploring how "Japan" has been constituted in as a discrete field of study. The second part of the course is organized around reading recent articles and books that are shaping modern Japanese history by answering the following kinds of questions: What roles did politics, gender, crime and punishment, and engaging with the "other" play in the exercise of power in Tokugawa-period Japan? How did Japan become an imperial power and how does "Japanese" imperialism compare with other forms of modern imperialism? What roles did race and ethnicity play in Japanese imperialism and the Asia Pacific War? Following Japan’s defeat in that disastrous war, how did Japanese people respond to the U.S.-led occupation of their country? And, how has popular culture shaped people’s experience of the natural world and created spaces for protest within Japanese society during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries? While this course is designed to provide a grounding in modern Japanese history, its other primary aim is to help students develop their bibliographic and historiographic knowledge of modern Japanese history for the purpose of further research and future teaching in East Asian and global history. Knowledge of the Japanese language is welcome, but not required for this course.
