CHIN 3410 - Women and Women’s Writing in Modern China 3 Credit(s) | $12 Fee
The century-long revolutionary narrative in modern China gave rise to a history of Chinese female writing different from the West. This course will examine fiction, poetry, essays, films, and paintings by Chinese women in the 20th century in dialogue with debates on women and gender studies. The readings are chosen to encourage students to think about how women’s writings spoke for, against, or were repressed by the grand narrative of national revolution; how female subjectivity was shaped, shown, or concealed in their writings; and how the roles of women changed along with the social and historical development through the 20th century.
This course is taught in English and no prior knowledge of Chinese language or history is required. (As Needed) [Graded (Standard Letter)]
