Class Description:
This course is an introductory exploration of modern Chinese literature, visual culture, and critical thought from the beginning of the 20th Century to the end of the Mao era. Beginning with a leading intellectual's 1902 call for fiction to serve the political need for a modernized state, modern Chinese literature and culture has had an overriding concern with the fate of China itself. As a result, close readings of literature, popular culture, and criticism from the late Qing Dynasty to the Cultural Revolution give us insight into many of the fundamental issues facing the Chinese people through decades of revolution, foreign invasion, civil war, and modernization. During the first half of the 20th century, Chinese literature and culture saw the great achievements of canonical modern writers from Lu Xun to Zhang Ailing, in addition to the Golden Age of Shanghai cinema and the striking images of revolutionary woodcut artists. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, a singular revolutionary culture ensued, in which literature and the arts were put in the service of political consciousness-molding and cultural revolution. This course combines key examples of literature and visual culture with parallel readings of Chinese critical essays that reveal the intellectual background of literary and cultural production. All readings are in English.

Course Catalog Description:
Introduction to modern Chinese literature, visual culture, and critical thought from beginning of 20th century to end of Mao era. Examples of literature/culture, parallel readings of Chinese critical essays. Readings are in English translation.
Class Description:
This course is an introduction to modern Chinese literature and critical thought from the beginning of the twentieth century to the1980s. We read the important examples in fiction, essay, and poetry, along with critical readings and historical background. Beginning with reform-minded Confucian scholars around the turn of the century, modern Chinese literature and culture has had an overriding concern with the fate of China itself. As a result, close readings of literature, popular culture, and criticism from the late Qing Dynasty to the Cultural Revolution give us insight into many of the fundamental issues facing the Chinese people through decades of revolution, foreign invasion, civil war, and modernization. During the first half of the century, Chinese literature and culture saw the great achievements of canonical modern writers from Lu Xun to Zhang Ailing. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, a singular revolutionary culture ensued, in which literature and the arts were put in the service of political consciousness-molding and Cultural Revolution. During this time, an alternative Chinese literary culture developed in Taiwan, resulting in a vibrant and innovative work that featured various strains of modernism. All readings are in English.
