CPLT 243 (Graduate Seminar)<br>
Orientalism and Beyond: France and Asia <br>
</b>Wednesdays 4-7pm, with a screening Tues 7-10pm<br>
(screenings will NOT be held every week or last 3 hrs most of the
time)<br>
Michelle Bloom, Associate Professor<br><br>
We will begin by looking at Orientalism and then consider alternative and
potentially more fruitful paradigms for exploring the aesthetic and
cultural dynamics between France and Asia (parts of East Asia and
Southeast Asia for the purposes of this course; specifically, China,
Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam/Indochina) beyond Orientalism, focusing on the
last decades of the twentieth century to the present. Such
"alternative paradigms” will include concepts such as translation,
citation and "fusion." Texts and topics will include theory
(Barthes, Said, and more recent works), literary works (eg Dai Sijie,
Amelie Nothomb), film (Dai Sijie, Emily Tang, Tsai Ming-liang),
architecture (Paul Andreu, I.M. Pei) and cuisine. <br>

<b>CPLT 277 (Graduate Seminar)<br>
Classical Literary Criticism: Chinese and Western<br>
</b>Thursdays, 2:00-5:00 p.m.<br>
Watkins 2240<br>
Yang Ye, Professor<br>
<br>
What role does literature play in a civilization? How is literature
defined and described in the larger context of intellectual and social
life? What criteria are used in <br>
evaluating literary works? Does each civilization have its own 'codes' or
'terms,' a system of analysis, appreciation and interpretation with its
own history, which has evolved <br>
in time with variation? If so, is that system transferable into other
civilizations, and does it consequently carry on universal significance?
Keeping these questions in mind, <br>
this seminar will focus on major texts of classical Chinese literary
criticism from selected passages of ancient Confucian and Taoist
classics, Lu Chi's <i>The Poetic Exposition on Literature</i> and
Liu Hsieh's <i>The Literary Mind: Carving Dragons</i>, all the way toYeh
Hsieh's <i>Origins of Poetry</i>, in comparison to representative texts
from the Graeco-Roman tradition, which may include Plato's mimesis
theory, Aristotle's <i>Poetics</i>, Demetrius and Dionysius on the
classifications of style, Horace's <i>Ars poetica</i>, Quintilian's
approach to literary representation, and Longinus' <i>On the
Sublime</i>.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>CPLT 210 (Graduate Seminar)<br>
Canons in Comparative Literature - Deconstructing Canons: East and
West<br>
</b>Leslie Winston, Visiting Professor of Japanese and Comparative
Literature<br>
Mondays: 4:10-7:00<br>
SPR 2344<br>
<br>
This seminar examines the constructions of canons, particularly in the
context of Japan and in the English novel. We will read both
criticism of canon formation and literary works central to understanding
this historical process.</blockquote>
