This course introduces research on East Asia by focusing on problems of crime and punishment, viewed through literature, film, and historical texts involving China, Japan, and Korea. For this reason, we will not just learn passively about Asia but also engage it through the development of research skills and techniques for critical thinking. The course is offered in conjunction with the writing of a junior paper (JP) and will introduce students to Asia-related resources at Princeton. The focus on crime and justice is suggestive rather than exhaustive; our real goals will be to frame research questions and to look for answers.
