中文简介:
本课程旨在向学生介绍从古代到17世纪初丰富的人类文化多样性。在本课程中,我们将以无数的表达方式探索人类文化,重点研究文学,宗教和哲学文本,作为叙述,象征和评论人类社会和物质生活各个方面的方式。我们将比较工作,阅读各种文化的文本:美索不达米亚,希腊,犹太教,基督教,中国,印度和穆斯林。在整个学期中,我们将提出这样的问题:不同文化如何想象自己?他们为人类行为制定了哪些规则?他们如何代表个人在社会中的角色?他们如何想象爱,家庭,责任等“普遍”概念?他们的作家和艺术家如何处理与其他文化和其他文明的相遇?
课程简介: This course aims to introduce students to the rich diversity of human culture from antiquity to the early 17th century. In this course, we will explore human culture in its myriad expressions, focusing on the study of literary, religious and philosophical texts as ways of narrating, symbolizing, and commenting on all aspects of human social and material life. We will work comparatively, reading texts from various cultures: Mesopotamian, Greek, Judeo-Christian, Chinese, Indian, and Muslim. Throughout the semester, we will be asking questions like: How have different cultures imagined themselves? What are the rules that they draw up for human behavior? How do they represent the role of the individual in society? How do they imagine 'universal' concepts like love, family, duty? How have their writers and artists dealt with encounters with other cultures and other civilizations?
关 键 词: 人类文化多样性; 文学的研究; 宗教和哲学文本
