Chinese 378
Chinese Mainland Women Writers Since the 1980s
Full course for one semester. This course introduces representative
women writers from mainland China since the 1980s with a focus on
their projections of women’s image in conflict either with
traditional values and expectations or official ideology. Their
search for self and individuality will be discussed in the context
of a fast-changing society in which Western influences find various
expressions in and beyond literature. This course is a window
towards a better understanding of Chinese women and Chinese
culture. Readings in translation. Readings in the original Chinese
and additional instruction will be offered for students taking this
course for Chinese credit. Prerequisite: sophomore standing.
Conference. Cross-listed as Literature 378. Not offered 2005–06.
