Course Description
This course provides an understanding of how love, sex, and marriage constitute a useful lens for understanding Chinese culture, thoughts, values, and ways of life. It provides a glimpse into the complex interconnections between political, cultural, economic, and interpersonal realms of experience. The course begins with issues that are personally relevant to young people – mate choice, love, marriage, sex, and family – with a view to helping to think about the historical and cultural roots of values concerning love, sexuality, marriage, and family life in China. In particular, the course examines the profound transformation in Chinese values, lifestyles, norms and desires, from Maoist utopianism to reform-era hedonism, brought about by market reforms and the opening of China. Through case studies of love and marriage in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta, the course looks at the diverse characteristics of Chinese ways of life, and how Chinese people may currently experience love, sex, marriage and cross different types of borders and boundaries to look for intimacies. Documentary films are used to give a vivid sense of the different strategies modern Chinese men and women use to fulfill material, affective and sexual desires as a response to social changes.

Course Description
This course introduces a variety of approaches towards filmmaking, as evidenced in recent works of contemporary world cinema. While the films included on the syllabus have been selected from the past two decades – featuring active, present-day filmmakers – the course encourages the appreciation of such cinematic achievements as not only arising out of an immediate context, but as indebted to the past and to the history of cinema. The course begins with a consideration of Hollywood and its global dominance through commercial genre cinema, before touring the world for a series of alternative approaches to film making that challenge Hollywood's hegemony, with a particular emphasis on art cinema in both its national and transnational forms. The formal achievements and aesthetic merits of individual titles are discussed in relation to the filmmaker's personal artistry, influential trends, and movements in film history that had an effect on the work in questions, as well as relevant contextual (i.e., social, economic, cultural, &/or political) factors.

Course Description
What does it mean to live a worthy life? This is one of the most fundamental questions of human existence and this course addresses the relevant issues through an engagement with various philosophical and religious traditions, such as Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam and Secular Humanism. The course discusses how the teachings of important historical figures from these traditions have influenced the choices of people over the centuries, and how they have been contextualized and adopted in contemporary society; examines how these figures regard the place of bodily pleasures, intellectual pursuits, power, status, possessions, accomplishments, virtues, relationship with other human beings and the relationship (or not) with the transcendent in their vision of a good life; explores the resources they offer for dealing with stress, temptations, disappointments and failures, social oppression, the loss of possessions and of loved ones, and with one's own death. The course helps students connect across different disciplines and cultures, and develop the ability to examine controversial issues from multiple perspectives. Students will achieve these aims through interactive learning and high impact practices such as group debates and interviewing contemporary advocates of different worldviews concerning the question of “What makes a worthy life?”
