Alternative mode of learning in case of Covid-19 related scenarios (e.g. border restriction, quarantine, cancellation of in-person classes): Microsoft Teams From Seoul to Taipei, from Hong Kong to Penang, from Singapore to Yangon and Bandung, name a few cities in the East and Southeast Asia that we are going to (dis)cover in the course. What are the urban cultures in these East and Southeast Asia? How have the urban cultures in these places been created, shaped, and transformed? Why are many cities in the region pursuing to be a ‘Creative City’? How do creative industries transform these cities? How are these cities represented in films? How are the cultures in different East and Southeast Asian cities similar and different from each other? What kinds of similar and different social situations are they facing? How do they respond in similar or different ways? The course emphasizes the importance of both theories and case studies. In the course, we will discuss various issues surrounding urban cultures in East and Southeast Asia, such as place and identity, cultural and creative industries, urban cultural policies, urban regeneration, gentrification, representation of cities in media, and cultural heritage and memories. Students are encouraged to bring in cases they are familiar with, reflect upon their experiences in other cities, and, together, imagine better urban futures. 首爾、台北、香港、檳城、新加坡、仰光、萬隆,這是其中幾個在課程裡面的城市。東亞與東南亞的都市文化是甚麼?它們是如何產生、轉變,並成為今天我們看到的模樣?為甚麼在東亞與東南亞,這麼多地方都在競逐成為「創意城市」?文創產業如何改變了這些城市?電影如何再現這些地方?在東亞與東南亞的不同城市,都市文化有甚麼相類近以及相異之處?它們面對著甚麼相類近與不同的社會狀況?它們又是如何回應? 本課程理論與案例討論並重,我們將會討論東亞與東南亞都市文化的不同議題,例如:地方與身份認同、文創產業、都市文化政策、都市再生、士紳化、城市於媒介中的再現、文化記憶與襲產等。 我們鼓勵修課的學生,帶進自己熟悉的案例、反思在其他城市的經驗,並且共同想像更美好的都市未來。 Intended Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: 1.
