Subject:

Description:

Introduces students who possess no knowledge of East Asian languages to the masterworks of modern Chinese film. The intrinsic value of individual works will be examined in the light of both Chinese and Western literary and cultural traditions. Students read and view works from modern China and, besides studying each work's distinct cultural features, questions concerning the individual's relationship to society during a given historical moment. Students also focus on the study of cinema as an art form, and its interrelations with disciplines such as painting, music, psychology and cultural history. Course includes a film screening and discussion session each week. (Designated a non-Western culture course.) M. Chen
