Class Description:
Prerequisite: 3-4 years of college Chinese or equivalent or instructor consent Instructor: Zou, Zhen Among modern Chinese thinkers, Lu Xun and Hu Shi have the greatest insight in and are the most influential intellectuals in twentieth century China. If you can understand Lu Xun and Hu Shi, you will have a good understanding of traditional and modern Chinese society and culture, as well as Chinese intellectuals' urgent sense of pushing China into the modern world. Naturally, reading Lu Xun and Hu Shi is critical in understanding China's New Cultural Movement in the early twentieth-century, a great challenge for many Western Sinologists. In the spring semester, we will study articles, speeches, short stories, and novelettes by Lu Xun and Hu Shi. This will also help students in understanding other important writers of the New Cultural Movement. The works we will study includes Lu Xun and Hu Shi's insights in Chinese people's characteristics, the problems of the institution, age and gender oppression, and the cause of China's backwardness. Class discussion will focus on the use of the language, the social interpretation of the texts, and the Chinese cultural and philosophical messages found in those works. The course will be taught in standard modern Chinese (Mandarin). Class time: 65% Discussion, 30% Lecture, 5% Lab and video. Work load: 10-15 pages of reading per week, 5 pages of writing per semester, 2 exams, reading presentation, and a final essay. Grade: 15% class participation, 15% quizzes, 10% reading presentation, 20% midterm exam, 20% final exam, 20% final essay. Exam format: Short answers and essay questions.
