EAST 206 - Topics in Chinese Literature: Sex and the Country


This course may also count for the major in (consult the program or department major requirements) :
Comparative Literature
Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 3 hours
Attribute: 3HU, CD, WR
This course examines a striking paradox in modern Chinese literature: the love-hate relationship with the rural sector. Oftentimes, the “countryside” is a place to be both exalted as a model for national moral purity and excoriated for its conservative backwardness. Studying a wide selection of short stories, novels, and films, we will pay special attention to the ways love and passion are used to negotiate the larger political and cultural issues of modern China. Taught in English.
Enrollment Limit: 25
Instructor: H. Deppman
