Section Info:
Course title: Between Text and Image in Japanese Art This interdisciplinary course examines the relationship between text and image in narrative art in premodern Japan. It explores narrative artworks in different forms and media and examines how they shaped and defined each other. By positioning these arts within various contexts―historical, cultural, social, religious, and political―in which they were produced and appreciated, the course also investigates how they have been shaped by and have shaped these contexts over time. Topics to be studied include the following and their visual representations: courtly novels, warrior chronicles, biographies of eminent figures, miraculous tales and legends, life events, disease and medicine, death and salvation, and deities and spirits (ghosts and monsters).

Section Title:
The Gendered Garden-PCL
Section Info:
The Gendered Garden in Premodern Chinese Literature This seminar explores the captivating world of garden space in premodern China, with a focus on the contributions of women writers. It delves into the historical contexts that shaped the emergence of garden literature and its significance within Chinese literary and cultural traditions. In this discussion-based course, students will explore diverse literary genres, including short essays, poems, fiction, and related written expressions, coupled with visual sources and films. Students will either write a research paper or conduct a creative project that responds to a topic discussed in the course. By the end of the seminar, students will gain profound insights into the gendered nature of physical, textual, and visual garden spaces, as well as have a better understanding of the broader legacy of the garden literature genre. No Chinese language or previous coursework required. However, students who have taken other courses in Chinese history, literature, art history, and/or women and gender studies, may feel more comfortable with the subject matter of this course.
