CHI 330 - INTRODUCTION TO CHINESE CULTURE, PRE-MODERN TO 1840

College of Arts & Sciences

Credit(s): 3

This course introduces students to premodern Chinese history, society, and culture up to 1840. Some of the major questions to be addressed include: Is ‘China’ the oldest continuous civilization? Was it culturally and ethnically homogenous? Was Chinese traditional culture and society ‘patriarchal’? To what extent was the state successful in penetrating into the daily lives of individuals? Course assignments will include primary and secondary literature (entirely in English) as well as visual and material culture sources. No prior knowledge of Chinese history, culture, or language required.

Meets UK Core: Intellectual Inquiry in Humanities.
