課程概述

Course Description
This course investigates the encounter between east and west in two related dimensions: narrative and material, with 4-5 foci—landscape gardening, porcelain, tea, opium, and design. The period of study is concentrated on the 18th and 19th centuries, when the east-west interaction becomes intensified.  

課程目標
Course Objectives
This course is designed to lead students to delve into the east-west “contact zone.” The material culture and ramifications in narrative will be learned in their historical contexts and with the help of theoretical insights mainly drawn from Thing Theory, etc.
