This course presents a critical historical overview of Chinese literature and film from 1949 to the present. In addition to writers and filmmakers from mainland China such as Mo Yan and Zhang Yimou, this course also considers literary and cinematic development from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Chinese diaspora.
This course allows students interested in China to gain in-depth knowledge of traditional and modern Chinese culture and societies through film within a relatively short period of time. This course may also prepare students who wish to explore travel or career opportunities in the Far East. No prior experience of the Chinese language is required.
