Description

The course ranges over selected literary and cinematic works of cultures of the Asia-Pacific region including those works generated or affected by contact with the West. Concepts such as homeland, community, Asian-ness and Orientalism will be examined. Focus on specific countries of the region will change from year to year, and may include travel writing and early ethnographic writing about first and later contacts between Europeans and local cultures.
