CHIN 310 - Modern Chinese Literature


Representative readings in translation of Twentieth-century Chinese literature from the late-Qing dynasty to the People’s Republic of China, and contemporary Taiwan. This course will offer a window in Twentieth-century China and an introduction to the study of literature, and ask: Why do we read literature, and about different literary approaches and movements? Students are expected to examine the socio-political context and questions of political engagement, social justice, class, gender, race, and human rights. All readings are in English translation and no background in China or Chinese is required.
