>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.

>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
>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
>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,
>this seminar will focus on major texts of classical Chinese literary 
>criticism from selected passages of ancient Confucian and Taoist classics, 
>Lu Chi's The Poetic Exposition on Literature  and Liu Hsieh's The Literary 
>Mind: Carving Dragons, all the way toYeh Hsieh's Origins of Poetry, in 
>comparison to representative texts from the Graeco-Roman tradition, which 
>may include Plato's mimesis theory, Aristotle's Poetics, Demetrius and 
>Dionysius on the classifications of style, Horace's Ars poetica, 
>Quintilian's approach to literary representation, and Longinus' On the Sublime.

>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.
