ASIAN 3502
Asian Temporalities

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

Instinctively, we think about time as an objective physical force: linear and irreversible. Yet, in the humanities, another way of thinking about time is productive for intellectual discovery– time as a cultural construct, with different shapes and velocities, that underlie the structures of Western and non-Western modernity and social, racial, and gender differences. Did people perceive time in the past the same way as we do now? Do Asian societies conceptualize time in the same imagery as Western ones? How do Asian religions, ideologies, and political systems affect popular ideas about time and futurity? In this course, you will become familiar with theories of temporality in Asia and learn how to think about time in the historical and cultural context and write about it academically. (ASIAN-SC)
