Department International Doctoral Program in Taiwan and Transcultural StudiesPh.D Language English Semester 2024-FALL
Course Description The goal of this course is to introduce students to the concept of transculturality as a method of scholarly inquiry which critiques and overturns traditional approaches in the humanities which are focused on particular national traditions. The course will survey the most influential theorizations of national identity and its relationship to the modern state, problematize the concept of “culture,” and outline how the theory of transculturality builds on these ideas while also offering alternatives to them. In addition, we will also explore the ways in which the case of Taiwan illuminates or contradicts the assumptions of transcultural theory.
**(notes)**

These methodologies are specifically designed to assist students in their explorations within the realm of Taiwan and Transcultural Studies.
