| Unit Description |
This unit explores the traditions and cultural history of East Asia before the modern era. The treatment is thematic rather than chronological, covering, in historical context, the cultural impact of the main religious traditions on China and Japan - Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism and Shinto, the unification of China, the imperial system, the influence of class on imperial history, the emergent literary and artistic traditions, the position of women and the role of foreign influence on Chinese and Japanese history. The unit integrates where possible online and traditional learning techniques and is assessed through assignments rather than by formal examination. |
