    This course introduces students to major issues and texts in the cultures and societies of China. By positioning Chinese studies within world culture, we will examine key concepts, schools of thought, and time periods from the axial ages (6th C. B.C.) to the present. Some of the subjects to be covered include: the comparative readings between Confucianism and Plato, Indian and Chinese Buddhism in the Han Dynasty, the Chinese and Arabic golden ages (around 10c.), the first encounter with Christian culture; the revolutions of 1919 and 1949; socialist and post-socialist culture. Throughout the course, we will examine primary texts (in English translation) that explore the ideas, events, and underlying tendencies that have shaped Chinese life through the ages. This course is taught in English and no prior knowledge of Chinese language or history is required. (As Needed) [] Registration Restriction(s): None

    The century-long revolutionary narrative in modern China gave rise to a history of Chinese female writing different from the West. This course will examine fiction, poetry, essays, films, and paintings by Chinese women in the 20th century in dialogue with debates on women and gender studies. The readings are chosen to encourage students to think about how women?s writings spoke for, against, or were repressed by the grand narrative of national revolution; how female subjectivity was shaped, shown, or concealed in their writings; and how the roles of women changed along with the social and historical development through the 20th century. This course is taught in English and no prior knowledge of Chinese language or history is required. (As Needed) [Graded (Standard Letter)] Registration Restriction(s): None
