Course Description: This course investigates the function
of images in the social and political life of 20th century China. From the last
decades of dynastic rule through the rise of Communism and ending with China's
current presence on the global stage, we explore the role of the image in representations
of cultural identity, the relationship between tradition and modernity and changes
in technology and media.
