| ASST 2196 - Writing in the City |
|
Novels, short stories, poetry, and other literary forms both shape and reflect how cities are understood and experienced. "Writing in the City" focuses on literary expressions of the modern and contemporary urban experience in cities such as Shanghai, Seoul, Singapore, Taipei, and Tokyo. This writing-intensive course will offer students the chance to engage with writing from at least two cities (in different Asian countries), focusing on thematic areas that include gender and family, history and memory, and crime and corruption. The main writing-related goals of this course include developing the skills to present evidence-based arguments supported by research, to use a close reading methodology to write an analysis of a literary text, and to carry out effective scholarly peer review. Class discussions and assignments will help students become acquainted with current theoretical and methodological approaches in the fields of Asian studies and literary studies. All readings are English translations of work originally published in languages that include Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
