Course Description
Many 20th century Chinese films were mainly concerned with issues of nationhood, identity, trauma, and a national past. In recent years, however, while some directors have continued to focus on the nation, others have chosen to look at the present, as well as the effects of globalization on Chinese society, culture, and cinema production. This course examines Chinese cinema(s) as transnational, a triangular composite of Mainland, Taiwan, and Hong Kong cinemas that has also been influenced by Japanese and Korean cinema. It introduces Chinese film history and criticism via an examination of thirteen films directed by several of Greater China's most skilled directors. Text: Yingjin Zhang, COMPANION TO CHINESE CINEMA. Assessment: attendance and participation (20%), two film reports (30%), final paper (50%).

Course Description
The class introduces art history of Japan. The course looks at, thinks about and discusses works of art, or more broadly, visual culture, which have been historically and are currently associated with Japan. The main focus is what (if anything) is specifically Japanese about the making, appreciation and practice of visual culture from the past and present within and outside of Japan. In its application to Japanese culture, is such a national framework timeless or fluid, universally valid or variable, creatively fruitful or rather superficial? The class explores this set of large questions regarding various media of visual art, such as painting, graphic art, design, sculpture, calligraphy, ceramics, architecture, gardens, photography and manga through the following two venues: an introductory historical survey of the rise of new artistic tendencies of such a visual culture from the prehistoric period to the present within the current geopolitical territory of Japan, with some major considerations on how Japan's visual culture has interacted with the rest of the world over time; and a thematic approach, highlighting selected visual conventions in Japanese society across time that privilege certain materials, aesthetics, beliefs, and collecting and displaying customs, such as tea ceremony and Zen meditation.

In order to motivate students to service-learning activities such as community service-learning, international service-learning or work camp, various activities of ICU, NGOs, community and international organizations are introduced, and prepare the students for meaningful service activities.

Service-Learning provides students with an opportunity to develop their insights to the real world and nurture sense of global citizenship, caring for others and responsibility. This course provides students with basic knowledge concerning service learning. Students also learn about various activities conducted by NGOs, local municipalities, and international organizations where students served in the past. This course requires 12 hours of service work (practicum) outside the campus in addition to class periods on Thursdays. Students' service work schedule will be arranged in a way that matches the needs of community organizations at which they serve. Students may not dictate to the organizations at what time on what day the organizations should host them.

Course Description
This course familiarizes students with the themes and history from late imperial (1842–1911) to republican (1912–1949) and Communist China (1949–). The course provides the major events and history makers, but not at the cost of micro history as it pays great attention to ordinary people and their lives. The course examines change, but change came in the shape of continuity, considering how a better understanding of China’s transformation from the “sick man of Asia” to economic superpower helps us better understand the making of the modern world.
