Information, Technology, and Society in Asia 323

Issues and Methods in Cultural Anthropology and Ethnography: Anthropological Understandings of Asian Societies: Classics and Beyond
In the past, sociology's main task was to elucidate "modernity" and/or "modernization" based primarily on Western experiences, whereas the main target of sociocultural anthropology was societies that were considered "primitive." Researchers of Asian societies, with their long histories, written cultures, and complex social institutions, have been forced to conduct their own explorations between these two disciplines. In this class, we will contrast the theoretical perspectives on Japan, China, and India developed by researchers, both from Asia and the West, in relation to their own field research experiences in the second and third quarters of the 20th century, and introduce several anthropological models of Southeast Asian societies. We would then like to discuss the limitations and contemporary significance of such literature.
