LLEA 43108 - Anti-Social Behaviors in Modern Chinese Fiction

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

East Asian Lang & Lit

Description:

This advanced course is offered for students who would like to have a more in-depth analysis of literary works and the challenge of writing a longer research paper. In this course, we will read fictional works depicting behaviors and attitudes that are considered by society in general as anti-social, anti-conventional, anti-government, and sometimes anti-Party. We will investigate the contexts of these behaviors and their political implications as portrayed in fictional works. For instance, can we apply a universal standard or are anti-social behaviors culturally relative? how are anti-social behaviors used by writers and for what purposes? Are different standards applied to women? What are the temporal and spatial factors in people's conception of an anti-social behavior? This course is taught in English and no prior knowledge of the Chinese languages or China is required.
