HIS 195-01 - Introductory Special Topic: Classical Asia4 credits (Fall) Cross-listed as: EAS 195-01 . This course surveys the history of Ancient East Asia (China, Japan, and Korea) with some occasional forays into Vietnam. We will look at how people in each culture created their distinctive identities, experienced the world around them, and inscribed their thinking into texts that have become the “Asian Classics.” From the creation of political ideology to various aspects of high culture, students will gain a firm understanding of what some refer to as the East Asian Tradition.
Prerequisite: None. Instructor: J. Smith
