|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

In this class we'll read and discuss an abridged translation of Journey to the West (a fictional account of a famous pilgrimage to India to acquire Buddhist scriptures) and The Complete Tales of Ji Gong (translated as Adventures of the Mad Monk Ji Gong), a fictional retelling of the life of a monk who lived during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279). We'll study how pre-existing assumptions about what each story is about have led to different ways in which people have “read” it. We'll also look at several contemporary adaptations of each novel in film, TV series, and other areas of popular culture to explore how these adaptations reflect some of these different “readings.”

| Japan's International Relations - 43784 - ASST 3030 - 801 | ||||||||||||||
|
CL: POLS 3510 (801). Topical Section Description: The Senkakus, “comfort women”, TPP, and the Ospreys, these are just some of the most pressing issues in Japan's international relations. This course aims to facilitate a deeper understanding of such problems by providing a broad overview of Japan's most important international relationships. Particular emphasis is placed on the country's dealings with the United States, China, the two Koreas, and Russia, though attention is also drawn to relations with other regions and international organisations. In so doing, the topics of the regional balance of power, historical memory, and global trade patterns are all brought to the fore. As the focus of international politics continues to shift towards the Asia-Pacific region, this subject of Japan's place in the world is becoming of ever greater significance.
