| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1913 This is a topics course. Course content varies.; Current topic description: This seminar offers students a distinctive perspective from which to understand Chinese society. It investigates rituals performed in various societal domains in imperial China. Through the study of texts, the screening of videos, and the examination of artifacts, the course delves into four principal themes: the significance of rituals in Confucianism; the ideology and role of rituals in imperial governance; the impact of rituals in community construction and family relations; and rites of passage in imperial China. Additionally, using rituals in imperial China as a special lens, this course engages in dialogues with the existing scholarship on general issues such as the relations between beliefs and performance, rituals and emotions, and rituals and social change.
