| This course is for all who have taken two years Chinese or have the equivalent. Its objective is for students to talk and write about such topics as nationality, ethnicity and women’s liberation. The original materials are taken from novellas, narrative films and Chinese classics. These modes of communication are studied as translingual practices between languages, cultures, and traditions. The working language is Chinese. Essay questions are answered when students use their own lexicon to paraphrase and translate what they read, conscious of the languages particular to a historical period, characteristic of a social class, or unique to a political discourse. |
