Course Description
Humans have always actively borrowed from other cultures. Such borrowing is a creative process which influences aspects of life ranging from basic material needs to aesthetic appreciation. Often, however, cultural borrowing is labelled as simple imitation. This results in cultural stereotypes that impede understanding of other cultures. Using Chinese and Japanese cultural borrowings as illustration, this course teaches how to analyze the creative process of cultural exchange. By developing theoretical perspectives from the study of China and Japan, the course teaches about exchanges among culture in general.
