ANELL 205 - Literature and Film from Asia and the Near East

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

A general introduction to fiction, plays, and films from Asia and the Near East. Each text is introduced by a faculty specialist in that language and culture, but most of our time is devoted to discussions of the texts. Our purpose is to explore ways that the study of literature and performance can illuminate cultures in general and several non-European cultures more specifically. And through comparisons between samples from any one culture and between our several cultures, we examine the richness of the traditions and the modern experience of writing and cinematic art from areas such as Egypt, Israel, Iran, India, China (including Taiwan and Hong Kong), Korea, and Japan. No prerequisites; all interested students are welcome. All readings available in English translation; all films are subtitled.
