CULS5202 Modern Urbanscape and Asian Culture 现代城市景观及亚洲文化
As cultural melting-pots, cosmopolitan cities around Asia provide some excellent case studies on the relationship between interculturalism and the urbanity of megacities in the world. The question of cultural identity - a plurality of selves - will be explored through a comparative study of the varies urban centres in Asia. The emphasis of study is on the ways how music, literature, TV, film, and technoscape and mediascape (themselves being a mixture of Asian, American and European components) are related to Asia's unique location and its many overcrowded, mishmash, disjunctive cityscape.
全球化促成现代都市快速发展并令文化景观产生剧变。都市转变的过程不只是涉及空间的再生产，同时也牵涉了全球资本主义经济中资源的再分配，进而牵动生产模式的重新组织。也因此，如何理解人们的现代生活经验以及变迁中的都市景观的关系便成为一个重要的课题。我们要如何批判性地反思资本主义发展过程中都市生活的主体经验？对现在的人们来说，理想的都市生活风格是什么？我们又要如何理解并且再想像那些不合於现代理性的都市规划的生活经验和都市景观？对此，本课程聚焦正处於剧变过程的东亚都市，如香港、东京、首尔、上海以及台北等，透过研究文献的批判阅读，探索都市的社会、文化与空间之间连动的权力关系，并从中开启我们对当代都市生活的另类想像。
CULS5203 The Body in Culture and Art 文化与艺术与身体政治
Images of the body represent systems of thought, aesthetics beauty and our identity. In this course we will ask: What is a body? How do we define and represent different bodies? In what ways do cultural values mold our perception of the body? How is the understanding of the body informed and transformed by scientific development? Throughout this course we will seek answers to these questions by focusing on the Western and the Chinese traditions from the cultural and the scientific perspectives.
身体的意象代表了思考系统、美学观念及身份认同。本科的课题包括：甚么是身体？我们如何定义及再现不同的身体？文化观念如何塑造我们对身体的认知？科技发展如何影响及改变我们对身体的理解？本科尝试从中西传统中的文化及科学角度，揉合理论架构、艺术、摄影、电影和小说等文本理论来分析以上课题。
CULS5204 Cultural Studies in Film and Video 文化研究中的电影与录影
Cinema is one of the most important forms of representations in contemporary culture, and in this course we study film and video culturally and politically. We want to examine how the cultural forms of moving images carry meanings, and how it can and cannot be used as ideological apparatus. Through the studies of film and video we also trace the development of contemporary visual culture and examine how it defines (post) modern lives and experience. Our ultimate aim is to interrogate the boundaries and to locate new terrains between cinema studies and cultural studies.

CULS5205 The Culture of Travel and the Travel of Culture 旅游文化及文化旅游
Travel has recently become a complex phenomenon of unprecedented proportions.

Through an interdisciplinary approach, this course provides a theoretical and historical framework to analyze and reflect upon the relationships between travel and culture with the concerns of globalization, consumption, people and places.
