Course Aims

This course aims to examine the multiple roles of women in Chinese-language film and fiction, not only as fictional characters but also as writers, actresses, directors, and social agents of their times. Selected works of fiction and film will be read alongside theoretical, biographical, and critical literature to explore the issue of female agency in the Chinese literary and cinematic imagination. Methodologies of literary and film studies will be introduced to equip students with the basic concepts, terminologies, and analytical approaches to conduct original research in the two genres.
