ASIAN 6603 - Modern Chinese Literature Survey


     
Fall. 4 credits.

Co-meets with ASIAN 3303 /CAPS 3303 .

N. Admussen.

Chinese life is indivisibly intertwined with Chinese literature. Mao Zedong was a poet; so is jailed dissident Liu Xiaobo. This course will provide a survey of twentieth- and twenty-first century Chinese literature in translation, beginning with the reforms of the May Fourth Movement and ending with the debate over the Nobel Prize for Literature after it was granted to Gao Xingjian and Mo Yan. The course’s goals are to give students a broad foundation in the major literary movements and events of modern China, and to enjoy remarkable stories, novels and poems that come to us from the original Chinese.
