An introduction to the history of China, Japan, Korea and South-East Asia, exploring historical conceptions and misconceptions. A broad-based introduction to religious life in East and South-East Asia with special focus on ritual life and ceremony rather than canonical texts and theology. Religion at the personal, family, community and state level are all considered, with examples from âanimism', shamanism, Daoism, Buddhism, Shinto, Islam, Hinduism, Asian Christianity and their myriad combinations. Asia and its interrelationship with New Zealand, including Asia's growing presence in New Zealand in all its manifestations, and the evolving political, social, economic, cultural, and strategic relations between this country and Asia. Topics will include historical and contemporary ties with Asia, Asian migration, literature, media and films. The course will focus especially on South-East and East Asia. Students explore the changing and contested nature of Asian identities through readings of seminal scholarly and theoretical texts on each theme, combined with analysis of the ways these themes are reflected in film, fiction and other popular cultural texts. The five themes (nationalism; violence and conflict; gender; minorities; and indigenous rights) and a concentration on post-1945 East and South-East Asia provide the focus. A survey of Islamic belief, practice and thought. Introduces basic tenets of Islam in historical context, then looks at Islam and politics in the twentieth century, including imperialism, nationalist movements in Arab and Muslim states, Zionism and Israel, the impact of the Cold War on Islamist thinking and organisations. Reflections on âwar on terrorâ discourse and media constructions of Islam are central. Explores the global transformation in its political, economic and social dimensions, and examines how East Asian countries respond to and interact with globalisation for their social and economic development.

An introduction to the history of China, Japan, Korea and South-East Asia, exploring historical conceptions and misconceptions. A broad-based introduction to religious life in East and South-East Asia with special focus on ritual life and ceremony rather than canonical texts and theology. Religion at the personal, family, community and state level are all considered, with examples from âanimism', shamanism, Daoism, Buddhism, Shinto, Islam, Hinduism, Asian Christianity and their myriad combinations. Asia and its interrelationship with New Zealand, including Asia's growing presence in New Zealand in all its manifestations, and the evolving political, social, economic, cultural, and strategic relations between this country and Asia. Topics will include historical and contemporary ties with Asia, Asian migration, literature, media and films. The course will focus especially on South-East and East Asia. Students explore the changing and contested nature of Asian identities through readings of seminal scholarly and theoretical texts on each theme, combined with analysis of the ways these themes are reflected in film, fiction and other popular cultural texts. The five themes (nationalism; violence and conflict; gender; minorities; and indigenous rights) and a concentration on post-1945 East and South-East Asia provide the focus. A survey of Islamic belief, practice and thought. Introduces basic tenets of Islam in historical context, then looks at Islam and politics in the twentieth century, including imperialism, nationalist movements in Arab and Muslim states, Zionism and Israel, the impact of the Cold War on Islamist thinking and organisations. Reflections on âwar on terrorâ discourse and media constructions of Islam are central. Explores the global transformation in its political, economic and social dimensions, and examines how East Asian countries respond to and interact with globalisation for their social and economic development. In nations undergoing rapid social and political change, films are a means of charting the transformation of contemporary cultures and communities.

The historical backgrounds, development and modern situations in Korean, Japanese and Chinese emigration are examined, particularly in respect of Korean migrants, through case studies of individual, group and host society experiences. Provides critical analysis of different forms of popular culture in Asia, including cinema, television, advertising, fashion, magazines and comic books, and the internet to examine changing patterns of politics and culture in Asia.
