課程概述

This course explores archaeological cultural heritage in East and Southeast Asia and how material remains of past human behavior in this broad region play an active role in shaping human perceptions of self and others in the present day. Archaeological cultural heritage as an academic field and as a profession is rapidly evolving in East and SE Asia, with governmental policy making, political motivations such as nation-building and nationalistic agendas, globalization, economic expansion and development, and many other factors shaping choices for how and why archaeological sites, objects, architecture, and landscapes are preserved, protected, and presented. This course will focus on these political roles of archaeological cultural heritage and examine them in conceptual and theoretical terms using a necessarily anthropological, interdisciplinary approach with models and methods from archaeology, critical museology, material cultural theory, postcolonial theory, and memory studies, among others. Case studies from around East and Southeast Asia, including Taiwan, mainland China, Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, and Malaysia will serve to provide insight into the relationship between archaeological heritage and nationalism and allow us to explore such related issues as the domination of Eurocentrism in heritage practice and theory (and see new alternatives arising); heritage's role in identity and ideology; contested ownership; commodification and value; memorialization and "dark heritage" (e.g., post-conflict or post-trauma sites); indigenous and minority rights and stakeholding; the impact of looting and the illicit antiquities trade; and heritage tourism.

This course is open to upper-level undergraduates and MA students (學士班高年級及碩士班). This course is conducted in English, with English-language readings and written assignments. 

課程目標
 This seminar-style course will familiarize upper-level undergraduate and Masters students with current issues in archaeological cultural heritage in East and Southeast Asia. Through case studies from the region, students will become familiar with key concepts and issues in the region and gain a critical understanding of the interrelationships between political motivations in the present and the reconstruction and presentation of the archaeological past(s) as cultural heritage. 
課程要求
 Students are required to attend all class meetings since this will be a mostly seminar-style course featuring group discussion. Should you have a proper excuse for having to miss class (such as illness or major school-related event for which you can provide a letter) please notify the instructor in advance. Students should be prepared to fully participate in class and should complete the assigned readings before the class meeting. There will be student presentations and student-lead discussions, which contribute to your final grade. Students will sign-up to be a discussion leader for certain weeks: they will also give a short presentation on themes and issues derived from the readings that week before leading the class in discussion.

Research paper: The final research paper required for the course is due January 11. This paper should be 10-15 pages in length for undergraduates and 15-20 pages for graduate students. You will choose your own topic and consult with the teacher for approval. You must develop a research topic and hand in a title and one paragraph description of what you will research and discuss, along with 4 references, by December 1. I encourage you to submit an outline of your research paper at least three weeks before the paper due date so that we can discuss its strengths and weaknesses. I will be happy to discuss with you any aspects of the process of researching and writing your paper, and properly citing your sources, and we will discuss this in class, as well. Late papers will only be accepted with a grading penalty.

 09/26  Cultural Heritage Discourse in East and SE Asia

What are the meanings of cultural heritage generally and in East and Southeast Asian contexts? We will consider the domination of Eurocentricism in cultural heritage practice and theory generally and anti-Eurocentric alternatives arising in East and SE Asian archaeological heritage. Related to this are notions of impermanence (and how it impacts conservation), materiality, and authenticity vs replication. Initial discussion of the formalization of cultural heritage at the global (UNESCO) and national and local levels, and how this relates to expertise and authority.

 12/19  OPTION 2 for Week 15. Ownership of the Past: Pluralism, Stakeholders, and Human Rights

A common theme in archaeological heritage is “ownership” of the past. Ownership allows the determination of how the past is constructed and managed. There is increasing awareness of many and varied stakeholders, often with conflicting agendas, each with claims to the past, and so the past is contested. There are also new demands from suppressed groups to repossess their heritage, with cultural heritage being confronted for its complicit roles in domination (appropriation of lands, material culture, sacred items, human remains, etc.). This week we look at contested ownership and also the interplay of heritage and indigenous and minority rights in East and Southeast Asia. We will consider pluralism, multi-vocality, and diversity, and Western practices vs. local beliefs: what’s the “right” way to manage and present cultural heritage?

   Optional. Underwater Heritage Issues in Southeast Asia

Underwater heritage brings about its own issues and considerations in Southeast Asia, as wrecks and other sites are often found in international and/or disputed waters, giving rise to different political and legal issues than archaeological sites on land. In addition, wrecks can have significant commercial value that is attractive to private financiers, treasure hunters, and governments, and attitudes toward commercial vs conservation value in the region often vary.

 11/14  November 14, 2019 Week 10. No class meeting: Taiwan Heritage Site visit
Students will visit a heritage site of their choice in Taipei or elsewhere in Taiwan and prepare a brief report (you can also try to visit a site mentioned in the readings for Week 11). On DATE, students will present their thoughts on their site as it relates to heritage issues (also see readings for next week), and we can also discuss these in the context of the readings.

Details: Heritage Site Visit Presentation:
For your site visit, you should find a heritage site around Taipei or anywhere else in Taiwan, if you want to travel, and go visit it. It’s a good opportunity to explore, and you can also visit several extra sites, but just report on one. Learn about the site, its past and the perhaps changing discourse about the site as heritage. Who is represented at the site, and who is not? Who is telling the story and what is the message? Is anything being excluded? These questions relate to various issues that have come up in the readings, so be sure to include some discussion of these issues that pertain to the site. Also, you should first read or at least skim through the readings for 11/21 (Week 11) before visiting your site(s)— these will help you recognize some of the particular issues for Taiwan heritage. When you pick a site, look for a “cultural” heritage site rather than a “natural” heritage site. Sites can be any time period, so they might include prehistoric and later archaeological sites, towns and locations now considered as heritage sites (again, from a range of time periods), or, as typically in the city, architectural features or neighborhoods.

Take notes and photos when visiting, and include some of your own photos in your PPT.

For class on the 21st, either bring a laptop you can hook up to the projector, or bring your presentation on a USB flash drive so it can go onto another computer easily. We’ll have a lot of presentations, so it will work better to get them onto 1 or just a few computers ahead of class.

If you like, you can also post what sites you visited and some pics on our blog. This will let other students interact with you— you can go to the same sites as other people go to (and hopefully you will all have unique things to say).

 12/5  Week 13. Politics and Values in the Management of Archaeological Cultural Heritage

[Final Paper topics due]

The management of archaeological and cultural heritage sites and resources faces a number of challenges of both practical and political natures. The Eurocentric approach to these challenges has been through national and international legislation, as well as legitimating archaeological heritage work through increasingly professionalized, and institutionalized agencies at the global (UNESCO and ICOM), national, and local levels (‘chartering’). We look at the politics of these trends and their implications in a few case studies from China, Taiwan, and Cambodia.

 12/12  Week 14. Negotiating Globalization and Modernity in East and SE Asian Cultural Heritage. [Final Paper topics due]

Cultural heritage in East and Southeast Asia is increasingly played out globally. This in turn is giving rise to new, critical heritage challenges to the “Eurocentric,” “traditional” heritage paradigm. These challenges are based in a number of different local contexts, such as postcolonial or “after modernity”, as well as in identity politics and alternative perspectives held by local stakeholders.

   OPTION 1 for Week 15. Archaeological Cultural Heritage's Role in Local and Global Political Repositioning

Continuing on last week’s themes, East and Southeast Asia’s unique challenges to traditional heritage feature negotiations at the local and global levels. Varied stakeholders contend over the management and control of heritage resources and their presentation, even to the point of border warfare between Thailand and Cambodia. We discuss more case studies on multivocality, global negotiations, and political motivations and the use of the past to mobilize for present-day political ends.
