HUMA 227 The Chinese City in Literature, Art, and Media

This course uses an interdisciplinary humanities approach to Chinese cities from ancient to contemporary times depicted in various literary texts, visual arts, films and other popular media. The course serves both as an exploration of the Chinese city within historical contexts and as an examination of forms of representation. We will discuss themes such as national identity, the garden and intellectual identity, the intersection between China and the foreign, and human responses to the city in perpetual transition to modernity.
