第25期斯坦福北大分校项目 (Stanford Program in Beijing) 将于今年9月中旬在我校开课，12月上旬结业。为促进我校中国学生与斯坦福学生的了解、交流和学习，现遴选部分品学兼优的同学参加本期项目，与斯坦福大学学生同堂上课。

课程一：China in the World Economy: Han Dynasty to the Present

授课教师：Frank Hawke

上课时间：09:00-12:00 （周二）

课程简介：In order to understand China in the world economy, it is necessary to take an “in-out; then-now” approach. In other words, to understand how and why China was interacting with the world economy at any given time, it is important to know what was going on inside of China at that time.  Similarly, in order to have a full appreciation for how and why China interacts with the world economy today, it is necessary to understand how it has done so in the past.

课程二：Globalization and the Chinese City

授课教师：Mingzheng Shi

上课时间：15:00-18:00 （周二）

课程简介：This course examines the dynamics of China’s urban transformation and contemporary city life in the context of globalization. Applying interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives and exploring a set of carefully selected themes related to the distinctive characteristics of China’s urban development, the course enables students to gain critical knowledge and understanding of how Chinese urban space is transformed by the forces of globalization, urbanization, marketization, and political decentralization, and what socio-spatial implications are made in a differentiated way upon urban residents and the migrant population.  Throughout the course, we ask whether the concepts and theories born out of the post-industrial Western urban experiences can be applicable to the understanding of urban China. We also ask what are the opportunities and challenges that Chinese cities face, given its current urban development strategies and trajectories. Students will benefit from the locational advantage of the course taking place in Beijing to participate in a number of field trips and site visits.  

课程三：Chinese Classical Rituals

授课教师：Zhou Yiqun

上课时间：15:00-18:00 （周三）

课程简介：Traditional China (before 1900) was known as a “Land of Rituals.” What does that mean, and what insights can an investigation of this question provide into some of the most fundamental and enduring aspects of both premodern and modern Chinese society, such as the respect for seniority, the preference for harmony and order, the importance of symbolic acts, and the centrality of family and kinship in the sociopolitical model? This course is concerned with the meanings, practices, and institutions of classical Chinese rituals. We will first examine several major Confucian ritual texts that had their origins in the classical age and focus on rituals regarding mourning, ancestral sacrifices, wedding, coming of age, communal banqueting, and daily etiquette. Then we investigate the evolution of classical Chinese rituals in the late imperial period (c. 1000-1900), with an emphasis on the development of ritual institutions and a tradition of ritual writing and also on the relationship between Confucian and Buddhist/Daoist/ folk rituals over the centuries. A final week will be devoted to the revival of classical rituals as a crucial component of the movement of cultural nationalism in contemporary China.

课程四：The Chinese Family

授课教师：Zhou Yiqun

上课时间：15:00-18:00 （周一）

课程简介：It is often said that, more than in any other culture, the family provided the basic sociopolitical model and the most important social and ethical values in traditional Chinese society. In China’s tumultuous transition into her modern period (1911—), the family institution and all that it represented constituted a major front on which the battle against tradition was waged. Even in contemporary United States, the different family values embraced by Chinese immigrants and their descendants still often become an important source of friction between them and mainstream American society (a prominent recent example being the controversy over Yale Law Professor Amy Chua’s 2011 book The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother). This course engages students in a historical and ethical inquiry into the traditional Chinese family as a collection of social relations, a space for moral practice, and a microcosm for the polity. Besides modern scholarship, in this course we will read biographies, memoirs, letters, drama, and didactic writings from the classical period through the nineteenth century about the traditional Chinese family. Topics of discussion will include: the economic, ritual, and emotive aspects of the family, the relationships among individual, family, society, and the state, the family seen through the perspectives of gender, religion, and social change, and the traditional Chinese family in the modern Western imagination.
