Section Title:
Prosody of East Asian Language
Section Info:
This course introduces speech and natural Language processing (NLP) concepts with special attention to Chinese. The course will start with basic speech and NLP concepts, and build toward Chinese specific topics which may include word segmentation, Chinese character encoding and monosyllabic homophones in NLP; as well as sound inventories and variations in speech. The goal of the course is to develop skills and linguistic pattern awareness needed to design experiment and to analyze experimental and corpus data effectively and objectively. This course has no pre-requisite in statistics and programming. Graduate level linguistic knowledge is assumed. Chinese background is not required though the lectures will make use of Chinese materials.

Section Info:
The topic: Tales of Four Chinese Cities: This seminar will focus on one of the most important topics of modern Chinese culture: the urban imagination, and will examine the literary and visual representations of four representative cities in modern China: Shanghai, Beijing, Taipei, and Hong Kong. Through close analyses of the novels, short stories, films, photographs, and paintings that illuminate Chinese urbanism, we will extensively discuss the cultural manifestations of Chinese metropolises. Analyzing how metropolis and urban life are represented and imagined is also central to an understanding of the differently articulated forms that Chinese modernity has taken throughout the twentieth century. All readings in English

Date Range:

Section Info:
This graduate seminar explores the proposition that modern China is culturally different from other modern societies. Arguments about cultural difference are politically contentious. Those who have championed the cause of Chinese (or Asian) exceptionalism range from the imperialist architects of “Orientalism,” to autocratic advocates of “Asian Values,” to progressive practitioners of a postcolonial “Asia as Method.” The discipline of cultural anthropology is implicated in this debate by its foundational concern with cultural difference. This graduate seminar reviews anthropological engagement and political debates over Chinese culture (or "characteristics") to develop a syllabus designed to achieve two outcomes. The first is substantive; by the end of this class, every student will have learned enough about contemporary debates to take a well-informed position on the relationship between Chinese culture and Chinese modernity. The second goal is methodological; each student's final paper should reflect explicitly on their own standpoint within the tension between political commitment and scholarly neutrality.
