This course is a seminar on contemporary East Asia. Looking at Chinese and Japanese societies from an anthropological perspective, we will be examining specific topics such as marriage and kinship, global capitalism, community politics, and gender that are essential in understanding Chinese and Japanese society.

The anthropological perspective is largely a "bottom-up," comparative examination of particular social processes, and is presented in the form of ethnographic monographs and articles that describe everyday life in detail. The main focus that we will be addressing throughout the course is to explore what has shaped local social structures and cultural forms -- is the main determinant Chinese or Japanese history and tradition or is it globalization? What is unique to Chinese and Japanese social structure, and what is universal to all human societies?
