China: Open or Closed?


NYUShanghai

课程概述 / About This Course


本课程主要介绍1839至1842年鸦片战争前后,中国与世界碰撞时产生的风云激荡,这时期的历史变化源于四面八方的冲击和影响。本课程的教学形式包括授课、讨论、学生自主研究课题,旨在以历史发展、主题变化两条线索分析中国和世界的互动,所涉及的领域包括宗教与哲学、外交、法律、贸易、战争、性别、革命、文化交流。本课程更关注在双方互动中,世界对中国(而非中国对世界)造成的影响。

The course focuses on the cross-currents of China’s encounters with the world before and after the Opium War of 1839-1842. It proceeds from the assumption that impacts and influences flow in multiple directions, into, through, and out of China. Through a combination of lecture, discussion, and student research projects we will explore these interactions chronologically and thematically, covering such broad topics as religion and philosophy; diplomacy; law; trade; war; gender; revolution; and cultural exchange. This class is more about the impact on China of its encounters with the world than about the impact on the rest of the world of its encounters with China.
