CPEC 214 - Culture of Protest in East Asia (4) CPEC
The course, although with global in mind, focuses on the East Asia (as a region and individually as China, Japan, Koreas, Taiwan, Hong Kong) has experienced an escalation in state-led interventions while in turn, protesters have taken to the streets to address a wide range of issues, including the environment, democratization, freedom of assembly, political corruption, etc. This course explores how literature, film, and art responded to and reflected and engaged with social movements and how political protests were shaped by and through cultural productions at crucial junctures in East Asia. The course proposes to stimulate a transnational and comparative discussion of multiple facets of cultures of protest and resistance in modern East Asia. For the Final project, students are not confined to East Asian region but are encouraged to explore and research other protests in the globe. Chou
