- Class Description:
- This course is an introductory survey of contemporary Chinese literature and popular culture. The primary focus will be on mainland China since the end of the Mao era, but attention will also be paid to Taiwan and Hong Kong. During this period mainland China made the transition from Maoism to the era of 'opening and reform,' leading to an explosion of creativity in the arts beginning in the 1980s and an increasingly commercialized and globalized culture since the early 1990s. The culture industry has been subjected to market forces for the first time in decades, and foreign cultural products have entered China to compete with domestic culture. Taiwan during these same periods made the transition from martial law to democracy and developed into one of the most thriving economies and cultural scenes in the region, while Hong Kong was returned from the United Kingdom to China and maintained its status as one of the world's most cosmopolitan cities. This course explores the dynamism of Chinese culture of the last quarter century through works of literature as well as film, fine art, and popular music.
