課程大綱 Course syllabus

         Introduction: This course will examine a pronounced move within political theory in recent times, namely, the self-reflection of political theory. Theorists have since 2005 interrogated on the ethnocentrism of political theory. We as faculty and students will work through some of the latest materials that examine the applicability and/or tenability of Western liberal values, specifically, the value of multiculturalism in different contexts, like Asian societies.
The concept of culture in political theory and political thought gained currency in the second half of the twentieth century, especially since the late 1980s. For most of the twentieth century, as the Cold War was being waged, the culture-concept was largely ignored. Privileged were sites such as ideology, nationalism, politics, economics, class, religion, and science. It was not until 1989 when the culture-concept entered liberal political theory: when the bicentennial anniversary of the French Revolution was marked, when what would become the first of many headscarf cases in France erupted; when the Berlin Wall fell; when Chinese students, protesters, and workers took their grievances to the street of Beijing, China, in what came to be known as the Tiananmen Square incident.











課程目標 Objectives

         For this course, the concept or theme around which discussions are to be organized is culture: what is culture? a universal good? a particular, that is, an ethnocentric good? why does culture matter? whose culture is being privileged? Western culture? or non-Western culture? On the way to working out answers to these questions, we shall be helped by thinking along these lines: how have scholars contributing to the literature of multiculturalism formulated this concept? who needs or wants culture?





授課方式 Teaching methods

         Requirements: Students are expected to cover 200 to 300 pages of reading per week. Grading: Reading and discussion 50% of the overall grade, writing 50%. For discussion, students will be asked to present the week’s readings and lead the discussion. For writing, students are to choose ONE of these:
(1) Turn in thirteen three-page essays over the course of the semester, each essay limited to 800 words. Nine of the thirteen essays have to discuss nine different books, one essay on one book. The other four essays may discuss articles, one essay on one article. Under no circumstances may students turn in two or more essays covering the same book or the same article. The topic of each essay is the main idea or central vision of the book or article being discussed. The essay has to engage the main idea from an analytical perspective – not merely give a description of it. The essays should show evidence of critical and analytic thinking by making arguments.
(2) Turn in two 20-page essays over the course of the semester, each essay between 4,500 to 4,800 words. For each essay, the student has to discuss at least four different books and one article covered by the course. Each essay has to consider certain themes in relation to culture in general, culture in multiculturalism, or scholarly criticism of culture. The essays should be analytic in nature, neither wholly descriptive, nor wholly explanatory.
(3) Turn in one 40-page essay at the end of the semester. The essay should be no more than 10,000 words including the abstract, footnotes or endnotes, and bibliography. Topics include an assessment of culture, a critique of culture, or a reflection on culture from a perspective culled from this course’s readings. The essay has to be analytic.
Grading Scale: A= 96% to 100%; A- =91% to 95%, B and B- fall in the 80%s, and so on.
Cheaters flunk the course automatically, and will be referred to the dean for expulsion.
Reading materials are subject to change as pre-publication materials become available.
