483B  PROBLEMS IN CHINESE HISTORY     (Fu)

            Same As EALC 483

            This is an interdisciplinary course exploring the politics of cultural production, everyday culture and urban cultural formation, discourses surrounding modernity and nationalism, and the history of transnationality in twentieth-century China. Focusing on cinema and popular fiction, we discuss the modern Chinese (including Hong Kong) urban experiences in a cultural-historical framework as well as the interweaving of gender, representational politics, popular culture, semi-colonialism and postcolonialism in the making of modern Chinese history.
