CHIN 294-01	Death and Dying in Modern Chinese Literature	Days: MTWRF	Time: 09:30 am-10:45 am	Room: HUM 111	Instructor: Andrew Kauffman	Avail./Max.: Closed 6 / 20
Cross-listed with ASIA 294-02 Details The modern Chinese experience has been marked and marred by warfare, violent revolution, and death on an unimaginable scale. For many, how to come to terms with the ubiquity of death and how to find meaning in the untold carnage and bloodshed were among the most excruciating and important questions. In this course, we will explore the manifold ways Chinese writers have confronted—and continue to confront—the trauma, violence, and death of China’s modern experience. We will examine fictional works written by canonical and emergent authors whose writings span a variety of genres. Through discussions and abbreviated lectures, we will analyze the texts themselves, situate them within their socio-cultural context, and connect their depictions of violence and death to notions of (post)modernity, self, gender, sexuality, history, and the nation.
