CHI 232 RE-IMAGINING CONTEMP CHINA
A study of contemporary Chinese cultural imagination of peripheries and differences within and outside the once static and uniform "China." Topics include the so-called "ethnic" literature produced by both Han and non-Han ethnic minority writers; literature of the underground, exiles, and the Diaspora; and popular culture in various forms ranging from urban pop fiction to new Hong Kong cinema (such as John Woo and Wong Kar-War). The key issue will be the problematics of China's rapidly changing cultural imagination and identity in this new global context.
