CHIN 325 - K01: Major Chinese Writers

This course focuses on the representation of women in Chinese literature, with a special interest in the role of the erotic in folklore and literati writings. While going through a wide range of materials including poetry, drama, short stories, non-fictional writing, and film, we will address issues that women in different historical periods have to deal with in terms of sexuality, family, social class, power, and material culture. Topics of interest range from gender violence, foot binding to sexuality and love, in the works of writers from ancient times to today.

The attached syllabus will be revised for Spring 2020.
