1 China in the World: from Early Antiquity to 1700 Course Information Course Syllabus Fall 2013 MAP-UA Cultures & Contexts: China Mon-Wed: 9:30-10:45 Place: Silver 207 No Pre-requisites Professor Contact Information Professor Zvi Ben-Dor Benite History Department King Juan Carlos Building #517. Phone Office Hours: Friday 9:00-10:00 Teaching Assistants, Contacts and Recitation Sections 1. Mr. Robert Cole, 2. Mr. Petro Nungovitch, 3. Mr. Dan Tsahor, Course Description This course offers a view of the history of Chinese culture and civilization in its regional and global contexts from the ancient period until the 17th century. Instead of thinking about China as a single core entity, we will learn how what we today call Chinese civilization developed through constant dialogue and exchange with nearby and distant cultures. Instead of thinking about a sealed Middle Kingdom, we will talk about an Open Empire. We will focus on Chinese maritime, scientific, and artistic history, and see how it was shaped through these numerous connections with the outside world. We will begin with the group of small embattled polities that in 7 th and 6 th centuries BCE came to understand themselves as Zhongguo, or Central Kingdoms, and we will continue with the rise of the various imperial dynasties that united China, and their interactions with numerous regions: Indian, Inner Asian, Central Asian, South East
2 Asian, and European. At the same time we will study interactions with the Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity. Our primary sources will be (translated) narratives about China written by Buddhist monks, Muslim merchants and clerics, and Jesuit Fathers. We will learn how one of the most advanced civilizations in history dialogued heavily with the world around it. We will listen to music and look at art, craftwork, and architecture and will explore the relationships -- connections, mutual influences, conflicts, and frictions -- between the peoples in the region. In the first part of the course we will read shorter texts and dissect them together. During the Second part of the course we will read the great travel narratives of the 13 th century Italian merchant Marco Polo, the 14 th century Moroccan cleric Ibn Battuta, the 15 th century Chinese Muslim Admiral Zheng He, and the 16 th century Jesuit Matteo Ricci. These narratives and the primary sources will be discussed in the recitation sections and serve as the basis for the response papers that you will write. Student Learning Objectives/Outcomes To become more aware of and more sensitive to the inevitability, necessity and importance of cultural dialogue and exchange across regions and civilizations. Required books, Materials, and Website With the exception of one core book, Valerie Hansen, The Open Empire, A History of China to 1600, (New York and London: W.W. Norton, 2000), all reading materials will be available online (on NYU-Classes and on additional sites). Please consult the course website regularly for changes in the syllabus, addenda, assignments, suggested readings, and all information pertinent to the course. Structure of Course, Grades, and Grading Policy The course proceeds and develops as a mix of thematically and chronologically organized topics. While some of the lectures will be more historical or chronological in nature, others will be more thematic but will still revolve around the relevant time span. The lectures introduce topics in a more general manner, while the recitation sections will be dedicated to close readings and discussion of primary source material in translation. In many cases readings include many short primary sources discussing the same theme; students will be encouraged to compare them. The teachers of this course expect all students to come prepared for class and to read the weekly assignments. Active participation is most recommended during general lecture sessions and is mandatory in the smaller Recitation Sections. Each Student will prepare five responses, presenting and discussing the primary sources. Response papers are to be about 4-5 pp. in length (double-spaced, normal font), well written, well argued, coherent and related to the weekly topics. They will be graded on an A-F scale. The best
3 four will count towards the final grade. In order to receive a passing grade, all assignments must be completed on time. The times of submission will be decided within recitation section by the teaching assistants. Grades Key: Participation: 20% Response Papers: 50% Final Exam: 30% Simple Course Policies: Attendance is mandatory. You are required to attend both lectures and recitation sections. The Students are strongly encouraged to participate in classroom discussion (both in lectures in recitations). One must do so, however, in a way that respects fellow students and instructors, and with no tediousness (that is to say, without dominating discussion or interrupting or intimidating others). Class preparation (reading and writing): You must read assignments before lectures and recitation sections. Occasionally, I will call on one of the students to warm the class up by answering a basic question pertaining to the relevant reading. Papers must be handed in on time, unless a prior extension has been given. They must conform to the Style Sheet Guidelines available online. All projects must be submitted in order to earn a final grade. No late papers are accepted! Do not plagiarize! Do your own work, and be redeemed. Use of computers in the classroom will be allowed during the first two weeks of the course. The number of students using computers for purposes other than learning during class will determine how we proceed with this policy. See also the Morse Academic Plan Statement on Academic Integrity. Withdrawal from Class The NYU administration has set deadlines for withdrawal from any course. These dates and times are published in the semester's course catalog and are not negotiable. It is the student's responsibility to handle withdrawal requirements from any class. In other words,
4 I cannot drop or withdraw any student. You must do the proper paperwork yourself so as to ensure that you will not receive a final grade of "F" in a course if you choose not to attend the class once you are enrolled.
