I would take 《The History of Sexuality》 written by Michel Foucault as reading material in this course. We will focus on the forthcoming English translation version of volume 4: 《Confessions of the Flesh》 (schedule on 2021/2/16). In the first half of the course, we will read volume 1: 《An Introduction》 step by step, and discuss volume 2 & 3 by some secondary researches about the genealogy of the epistemology of subjectivity and self-caring in western history. In the second half of the course, we will closely read volume 4 together. I will explain the detailed course schedule in the first class. I will also discuss and adjust the schedule based on the status of the students who will take this course.

東亞與東南亞都市文化  Urban Cultures in East and Southeast Asia
3 credits  l  Friday 1320-1620  l  English Course  l  NCTU HA BUILDING 2

From Seoul to Taipei, from Hong Kong to Penang, from Singapore to Yangon and Yogyakarta, name a few cities in the East and Southeast Asia that we are going to (dis)cover in the course. What are the urban cultures in these East and Southeast Asia? How have the urban cultures in these places been created, shaped, and transformed? Why are many cities in the region pursuing to be a ‘Creative City’? How do creative industries transform these cities? How are these cities represented in films? How are the cultures in different East and Southeast Asian cities similar and different from each other? What kinds of similar and different social situations are they facing? How do they respond in similar or different ways? The course emphasizes the importance of both theories and case studies. In the course, we will discuss various issues surrounding urban cultures in East and Southeast Asia, such as place and identity, cultural and creative industries, urban cultural policies, urban regeneration, gentrification, representation of cities in media, and cultural heritage and memories. Students are encouraged to bring in cases they are familiar with, reflect upon their experiences in other cities, and, together, imagine better urban futures. 首爾、台北、香港、檳城、新加坡、仰光、日惹，這是其中幾個在課程裡面的城市。東亞與東南亞的都市文化是甚麼？它們是如何產生、轉變，並成為今天我們看到的模樣？為甚麼在東亞與東南亞，這麼多地方都在競逐成為「創意城市」？文創產業如何改變了這些城市？電影如何再現這些地方？在東亞與東南亞的不同城市，都市文化有甚麼相類近以及相異之處？它們面對著甚麼相類近與不同的社會狀況？它們又是如何回應？ 本課程理論與案例討論並重，我們將會討論東亞與東南亞都市文化的不同議題，例如：地方與身份認同、文創產業、都市文化政策、都市再生、士紳化、城市於媒介中的再現、文化記憶與襲產等。 我們鼓勵修課的學生，帶進自己熟悉的案例、反思在其他城市的經驗，並且共同想像更美好的都市未來。    

Do you come from a place that has been colonized? Do you come from a place that has colonized others? Do we need to talk about decolonization in today’s Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, and the wider East and Southeast Asia? How can we talk about decolonization? Are postcolonial studies and decolonization still relevant to today’s world, in particular, in today’s East and Southeast Asia?Why do ‘Black Lives Matter’ take place? Why do activists tear down statues? Are they relevant to societies outside Europe and North America?
The course will offer lens to students to reflect upon and analyze colonialism and its effect and legacy. It also offers ways to examine, criticize, and evaluate the validity of existing postcolonial theories. We are going to explore, examine, and critique different works of postcolonial studies and decolonization. We will also discuss, explore, and examine ways to bridge the gaps in existing postcolonial theories; and diversify and multiply the reference points for postcolonial studies and decolonization. Students are encouraged to bring in their experiences and questions so that we can explore ways to renew, update, and propose critical theories relevant to the contemporary, situated colonial and postcolonial conditions. 你是否來自一個被殖民的地方？抑或，你來自曾經殖民其他人的地方？在今時今日的台灣、香港、中國，以至整個東亞與東南亞，我們是否仍然需要談論解殖？我們又該如何談論解殖？後殖民研究與解殖，在今日的世界，尤其是現在的東亞與東南亞，又是否合宜？為甚麼「黑命攸關」會出現？為甚麼各地的行動者會扯下雕像？這和歐洲與北美以外的社會又有甚麼關係？
本課程將會為學生提供反省與分析殖民主義及其遺餘的角度，以及檢驗、批評、衡量現存後殖民理論的適用性之方法。我們將會探討和後殖民研究與解殖相關的作品，討論與檢視收窄現存後殖民理論差距的辦法，並增加後殖民研究與解殖的參照點，使之多元化。我們鼓勵同學，帶進其經驗與問題，俾使我們能探索更新批判理論的方法，使之更加切合當代在地的殖民與後殖民社會語境。
