TITLE: PACIFIC VISIONS- THE
INFLUENCE OF STEREOTYPES ON U.S.
FOREIGN POLICY.
DESCRIPTION: FOR MANY AMERICANS,
ASIA AND ASIANS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
THE UNKNOWABLE "OTHER." HENCE, THE
20TH CENTURY PRISM THROUGH WHICH
MANY AMERICANS VIEWED DEVELOPMENTS
IN ASIA WAS DISTORTED, OFTEN
REFLECTING THE WISHES, HOPES AND
BIASES OF AMERICAN OBSERVERS.
STEREOTYPES RANGED FROM THE
NEGATIVE (CHINA AND JAPAN AS THE
"YELLOW PERIL") TO THE BENIGN
(CHINA AS POTENTIALLY CHRISTIAN).
SUCH MISPERCEPTIONS ARE BAD
ENOUGH, BUT WHEN USED AS THE BASIS
FOR U.S. FOREIGN POLICY, THE
RESULTS HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. THIS
COURSE FOCUSES ON HOW ARTISTS
EXAMINE THE POLICIES AS WELL AS
THE STEREOTYPES, MISCONCEPTIONS,
AND BIASES ASSOCIATED WITH THEM.
