THESE SESSIONS ARE SHARED MODULES AND WILL BE ATTENDED BY ALL STUDENTS. To apply to the LJMU Winter School please email Y.Xiao@ljmu.ac.uk where you can submit your application. Charles Dickens and London with Dr. Clare Horrocks. Culture Class: Liverpool Sea Shanty Traditions with Professor Gerry Smyth. The cost of the programme is £480pp, discounts apply for our partner universities (please email Dr Julia Wang (Y.Wang@ljmu.ac.uk) for more information). Charles Dickens is one of the UK’s most famous and important writers. He also documented how London looked and was experienced in the nineteenth century. Today we learn about how his literary descriptions of London preserved our understanding of this city as it went through a period of huge change. Some of his perceptions of London still influence how citizens and visitors think about the city even today. Therefore, in this session you will learn much about Dickens and his entertaining stories, but also about London as a city. Liverpool has always been an important port which is why it has the oldest Chinatown and Chinese community in the world outside of China. Many sailors on ships centuries ago developed a special technique of singing ‘sea shanties’. These are a really a cultural tradition and a special historic art form. Professor Smyth records and preserves these ancient songs sung with a special rhythm and in this session you will learn a lot about Liverpool as an old historic city and also about its maritime and musical heritage. Culture Class: Creativity and Enterprise 1 with Anna Sexton. Culture Class: A Rector’s Heritage with Mr. Yohannes Somawiharja, Rector of Universitas Ciputra, Indonesia. Anna Sexton at LJMU works to enable students to become entrepreneurs. In the arts and humanities, sometimes creative people do not consider themselves as businesspeople or entrepreneurs and yet these skills are vital in working as a self-employed creative person. In this session, Anna explores and develops strategies for enabling creative people to succeed financially and strategically in the real world. In this class we learn about a different culture – the culture of Indonesia. Art collector and Rector of Universitas Ciputra in Indonesia, Mr. Somawiharja, will inform us about the traditional beautiful arts and crafts of his country. These include the techniques and symbolism of Indonesian fabric decoration, ‘batik’, the decorative, symbolic weapon, ‘keris’, and ‘wayang’ – the Indonesian storytelling technique which uses puppets. Students will receive a certificate of attendance on completion of the programme and will have access to all LJMU online facilities. Culture Class: Creativity and Enterprise 2 with Anna Sexton. In this second session with Anna Sexton you will develop the skills learned during the previous day but will also today examine the link between enterprise, marketing and clear use of language. This will support your plans to live and work as creative people. Please be aware this is not the final timetable and is subject to change. More details are to be confirmed and released. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact LJMU China Office for more information. Clover Xiao, Y.Xiao@ljmu.ac.uk. ljmu.ac.uk
