This is a course designed for those seniors who are bound for graduate studies. As such, it will introduce the significant changes that are taking place in the field of humanities so as to familiarize students with the historical transformations in the knowledge industry, as well as to equip students with the proper conceptual and analytic tools for advanced studies. Weekly reading assignments are to be carried out by students, culminating in posting their own written responses on the course website before class. Reports and discussions of the readings will occupy most of the class time. The class will also construct its own glossary for the course in Chinese. Grades will depend on weekly reports, website contributions, a mid-term project, and a final paper (5 pages).
