East Asia: Between Tradition and Modernity - ZHSS2201 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description The aim of this subject is to understand the impact on nineteenth century China and Japan of growing immersion in an industrial world economy dominated by the Western imperialist powers. In particular, it looks at the ideas of 'tradition' and 'modernity' in East Asia and the reasons why China and Japan responded in such contrasting ways to the challenge of 'Western' culture.
