ENG 234 HISTORICAL ASIAN LITERATURE AND FILM
This interdisciplinary course explores significant works of Chinese, Japanese and Korean historical fiction that center on a period in the past, ranging from the Three Kingdoms period (220 CE) to the early 20th century. It uses this fiction and the historical contexts that inform it as foundations for the interrogation of Chinese, Japanese and Korean film, television series and other visual culture. Students combine literary study, historiography and visual analysis to interrogate themes, including gender and power, transnational conflict and consensus, and personal and national loyalty.
