Semester Offered: Second Semester

This course studies the use of “sex” and “country” as a site and a metaphor in modern Chinese literature. Broadly defined, sex signals issues of sexuality, gender relations, reproduction, and seduction, while the country represents the nation, nature, and peasants. Studying a wide selection of short stories, novels, and films, we will pay special attention to the ways writers use love and passion to negotiate the larger political and cultural issues of modern China. Taught in English.
