LIT 088 - (LT, CC) Self and Society in Chinese LiteratureSemester Hours: 3
Periodically
This course explores the concept of self in relation to society in Chinese literature from Confucius to the post-Mao era. How does ideology mold individual identity in the successive phases of Chinese cultural history? How does the self react against conventions? How do writers resolve their dual allegiance both to self and society during transitional periods when aging conventions, individual conscience and nascent ideology compete for one’s loyalty? This course incorporates major works by some of the most celebrated Chinese writers and uses literature to examine the shaping of Chinese identity in its cultural, historical, social and philosophical contexts.
