課程概述

Course Description
This course investigates the encounter between east and west in two related dimensions: narrative and material, with four foci—porcelain, landscape gardening, opium, and The Arabian Nights. 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
