Asia and the West

12 points * 2 hours per week * Second semester * Clayton
Students will attend a weekly seminar which investigates the theoretical and empirical problems of the study of Asia and the West which we encounter when we engage in the study of Asian societies. These issues are explored not only from the perspective of the challenges facing `outsiders' who seek to construct an understanding of Asian societies and cultures, but also by looking at how intellectuals in Asia have constructed their own forms of self-understanding.
