FOR-CULT 68 - Authority and the Claims of the Individual in Chinese Literary Culture

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

Examines the role Chinese literary texts have played in articulating the place of the individual as part of, or against, the authority of community and state. Beginning with the celebrations of social integration in the early parts of the Classic of Poetry (early first millennium BC), we will follow the increasingly complex role literature came to play, both as a critic of authority and as establishing a domain of private life.
