教育目標
Students will:
1. Survey a wide range of materials illustrating the literary representation of collectors and collecting in English literature and some selected French and German texts.
2.. Acquire a good understanding of an emerging field of study which combines comparative literary studies, material culture studies, and literary theory.
3. Achieve proficiency in the conventions of scholarship and bibliographic procedures and develop the ability to write well and do substantial scholarly and critical work in a specialized field.
4. Relate Western cultures of collecting to local, i.e. Taiwanese/East Asian cultures of collecting.
課程概述
William Gibson, the pioneer of cyberpunk fiction, observed that the idea of the Collectible is everywhere today. (On Collecting, 1999) Following up on this reflection, this course examines collecting in modern literature from the romantics to the twenty-first century. Students reflect critically on the history and functions of collecting and the complex interrelationship between collecting and commerce, fashion, science, and technology. They also work with essential critical terms in the field of cultural studies and are encouraged to connect their study of collecting in Western literature and culture with examples of collecting and collectability in contemporary Taiwanese culture
