(ASIA 152, MLL 152) Chinese Literature in the World

4 Credits

What place does Chinese literature occupy in the world? In this course we will read and discuss important works of modern Chinese fiction and drama alongside critical and theoretical writings on world literature. Student papers will integrate these discussions to reflect on questions such as center/periphery, national form, and canon formation. The course objectives are to introduce students to current debates on the topic of world literature and to resplendent modern Chinese short stories, novellas, and plays. Taught in English.
