Introduction


This USC Comparative Literature course is a student-driven learning experience under the supervision of USC faculty members who specialize in several languages and literary traditions.  During this 5-week course, USC undergraduate students traveled and lived in Hong Kong and Macau. Throughout this time, students learned to use the tools of literary and cultural studies to question the theoretical paradigms that have formulated Eastern and Western cultures as paradoxes rather than continua.  The articles in this Scalar book collection reflect different modes through which students engaged in critical practices that inform a pluralistic discourse that seeks to communicate to other travelers the interaction of diverse cultural patterns in the global age.
