WF 9:45-10:45 718-997-5570 Yunzhong.Shu@Qc.Cuny.Edu East Fall 2012 Yunzhong Shu Office: King 213 Office hours: WF 9:45-10:45 718-997-5570 [email protected] East Asian Studies 250: Modern Chinese Fiction in Translation General Description: As a PLAS course that satisfies the Reading Literature (RL) requirement, EAST 250 will teach students to employ the analytical tools in literary criticism to study the styles, structures and thematic concerns of a wide range of modern Chinese short stories and novellas. We will discuss the different approaches to modern Chinese fiction employed by Chinese and Western critics from different ideological and aesthetic perspectives. In addition, we will pay special attention to the historical circumstances that gave rise to and changed modern Chinese fiction in the twentieth century. With the stories and novellas as specific examples of social engagement through literary means, the course will enhance students’ understanding of the interaction between modern Chinese fiction and Chinese society. As they study works of fiction produced in historical environments drastically different from their own, students will also be asked to reflect on the influence of their own cultural values on their experience as readers and to relate the course to their own lives as students. Texts: The primary textbook is Modern Chinese Short Stories and Novellas compiled by Joseph Lau, C. T. Hsia and Leo Lee (available at Queens College Bookstore). A package of photocopied materials, available at Queens Copy Center (65-01 Kissena Boulevard, (718)-886-7635), is also required. Requirements: Careful preparation before class; participation in classroom discussion; presentation on individual works; one 5-page midterm paper; one 8-page final paper; and one short written reflection on the course. (All writing assignments should be double- spaced, typed and printed. I will NOT accept handwritten or emailed assignments. Note: If your writing skills are not particularly strong, you should try to find a tutor from College Writing Programs for your writing assignments. You should put in your request at the beginning of the semester, because it will be difficult to find a tutor later.) Grading: First paper 30%; second paper 40%; attendance 10%; participation 10%; presentation 10%. 1 Warning: If you do not plan to read the assignments carefully before class or to participate in discussions, do not take this course. Plagiarism (copying, representing or closely imitating someone else’s published or unpublished statements without clear attribution) will receive a severe penalty, including failure of the course.

T. Hsia mean when he talks about the moral burden of modern Chinese literature? In what way has this moral burden affected the canon of modern Chinese fiction? And in what way does it make modern Chinese fiction unappealing to readers familiar with the canon of Western literature, as Jenner argues in his essay? September 5 What do you think of the approaches that McDougall and Denton argue we should adopt in our reading of modern Chinese fiction? Do they have anything to do with the way we have been influenced by the canon of Western literature? 7 Can you relate Lu Xun’s preface to Call to Arms to the moral burden mentioned by C. T. Hsia? Analyze the madman’s reading of Chinese history and society in “A Madman’s Diary”. Characterize the perspective from which the story in "K'ung I-chi" is told. What is the political message in "Medicine"? In what way do Lu Xun’s stories set the direction for the canon of modern Chinese fiction? 12 Analyze the portrayal of Lu Weifu in "In the Wine Shop". Analyze the “I” narrator in "My Old Home". What are the similarities between the “I” narrator in “My Old Home” and that in "The New Year's Sacrifice"? What is the author's attitude towards traditional manners and morals in "Soap"? What possible influence could this attitude exert on the canon of modern Chinese fiction? 14 What is Xu Dishan’s view on human life in “The Merchant’s Wife”? What is Xu Dishan’s view on salvation in “Yu-kuan”? Analyze the portrayal of the main character in "Sinking". 19 What is the author's attitude towards the teacher in "Rice"? How would you explain the misery suffered by the old man in "Solitude"? How is the criticism of the civil service examination conveyed in "Horse-bell Melon"? What are the social changes reflected in "Autumn"? In what way could Mao Dun’s approach in "Spring Silkworms" influence the view on rural China in the canon of modern Chinese fiction? 21 Analyze the social changes reflected in “An Old and Established Name”. Analyze the central symbol in "Embroidered Pillows". How is the young couple’s marriage ruined in "The Night of Midautumn Festival"? 28 Describe the format of “Separation” and its significance. Discuss the view on marriage in “After Victory”. What does Lu Xun emphasize with regard to women’s liberation? In what way can "A Slave-Mother" be seen as a typical portrayal of women’s suffering in the canon of modern Chinese fiction? October 3 How does Ding Ling view the female main character in “Day”? In what way does it mark a transition in the portrayal of the intellectual in modern Chinese fiction? Characterize the image of Shanghai in “Five in a Nightclub”. Analyze the psychological activities described in “One Evening in the Rainy Season” and in “Seagulls”. 4 5 What distinguishes "Hsiao-hsiao" and "Pai-tzu" from the leftist writers’ portrayals of lower class men and women? What is the significance of the ending in "Quiet"? What does Shen Congwen tell us in "The Lamp" about his fiction? 12 What does Shen Congwen want to achieve in "Three Men and One Woman"? What does Zhang Tianyi inherit from Lu Xun? Compare the narrator in "Goats" with other intellectual characters in modern Chinese fiction. 17 What is the central issue in "Nanny Yang"? Describe the characterization of “The General”. Compare the two kinds of intellectuals in "Sinking Low". What is the difference between “Sinking Low” and “Piglet and Chickens” in terms of their subjects, moral stances and emotional tones? 19 In what way does Ding Ling continue the tradition of critical realism in “When I Was in the Hsia Village” and “In the Hospital”? Name some of the main goals Mao Zedong asks Yan’an writers and artists to achieve. In what way could these goals affect or even determine the direction of future literary works? How are Mao’s directives implemented in "Lucky"? 24 Critique the narrative point of view in "Young Master Gets His Tonic". What does Wu Zuxiang inherit from Mao Dun in “Let There Be Peace” and “Fan Village”? 26 Can you see Lu Xun's influence in "Hands" and "The Family Outsider"? Do the resistance fighters in "The Faraway Wind and Sand" and "The Rapid Current of the Muddy River" fit the tradition of critical realism? If not, why? 31 Discuss Qian Zhongshu’s view on modern Chinese fiction in "The Inspiration".

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 A b s t ra c t The short story has been an important genre in 20th century Chinese literature. By its very nature the short story affords the writer the opportunity to introduce swiftly any developments in ideology, theme or style. Scholars have interpreted Chinese fiction published during 1979 as indicative of a "change" in the development of 20th century Chinese literature. This study examines a number of short stories from 1979 in order to determine the extent of that "change". The first two chapters concern the establishment of a representative database and the adoption of viable methods of interpretation. An important, although much neglected, phenomenon in the make-up of 1979 literature are the works which appeared in so-called "nonofficial" journals.

  • Scar Literature”
    Literature as a source of Socio-cultural studies - Study of the Chinese society of the Cultural Revolution through “Scar Literature” Abstract: Literature reflects socio-cultural-political realities of the society. It indeed reflects the good values, oppressions, bad times, social discrimination and other ills of the society. Literature mirrors the social oppressions with an intension to make people realize and amend their mistakes. Thus a positive change can take place in the society. However some literature excludes the social exploitations and thus fails to expose the harsh realities. The ancient land of China which has been producing literature since the very beginning has come up with various literary genre. The Chinese literary work has enjoyed very prestigious position in the literary circle. Propaganda literature was also core part of Chinese literature in 1960’s. This paper aims to look at the literary genre of Scar literature with a brief introduction of Chinese literature of previous era. Key Words: Cultural Revolution, Propaganda Literature, Scar Literature. 30 Literature as a source of Socio-cultural studies - Study of the Chinese society of the Cultural Revolution through “Scar Literature” Introduction: Literature is a very old word and it is very difficult to stress its exact origin. However many scholars opine that literature has originated in West and then flourished in Greece, Egypt where the ancient civilization started. The content of the literary works varied from time to time and place to place as per the social condition of that particular place and era. Earlier most of the literary works were on Gods and Goddess.

Can we characterize the state control and regulation of sexual life in the Maoist period as ‘sexual repression’? The issue of sexual repression in the Maoist period is currently under debate.
