Introduction
The Department of East Asian Studies offers instruction to
students who wish to learn about the historic civilizations of China, Japan and Korea and
what has happened to them as a consequence of their encounter with Western civilization
during the past century. The disciplines pursued in the Department fall mostly within the
humanities; additional courses on Asia are given by other departments in the Faculty of
Arts and Science (Anthropology, Economics, Geography, History, Philosophy, Political
Science, Sociology, Religion), and the Department of East Asian Studies recommends such
courses to its students.
Courses offered by the Department of East Asian Studies fall
into two main categories:
a) Courses which can profitably be taken by students in other
disciplines who wish to broaden their horizons. These encompass a variety of topics in
Chinese and Japanese history, literature, philosophy, fine arts, music, and theatre, and
they require no knowledge of Chinese or Japanese language.
b) Courses for intending specialists in Chinese and Japanese
Studies. For Specialist Study it is essential to know Chinese or Japanese (students
generally concentrate on one or the other), and a full range of courses is given in both
languages from the first year onwards. In the junior-level courses, emphasis is placed on
the spoken language, but students are introduced to Chinese or Japanese script in the
First Year.
Students interested in Chinese or Japanese language should
consult the Department for advice in choosing the appropriate courses. Language courses
offered by the Department may also be taken by students of Linguistics and others who need
to know Chinese or Japanese for special purposes.
In addition to Chinese Studies and Japanese Studies, the
Department of East Asian Studies offers a program of Korean Studies. Korea, the third
major civilization of East Asia, may itself be an area of concentration; the study of
Korea is also important for students interested in China and Japan. The Department of East
Asian Studies also offers a number of courses in Indian art and literature, and Sanskrit.
(For specialist requirements, see listing under "South Asian Studies Program".)
Students seeking counselling should first contact the Undergraduate Coordinator. In
addition, all other members of the Department freely provide advice and information, and
the Undergraduate Co-ordinator may direct students to them.
In conjunction with Woodsworth College, the Department offers
courses during June and July at the University of Hong Kong. For information about these
degree credit courses, please contact the Professional and International Programs Office,
Woodsworth College, 119 St. George Street (416-978-8713). See also the Dr. David Chu
Program in Asia-Pacific Studies.
