課程概述

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