Kursens innehål
Kursen syftar till att ge en allmän överblick av och introduktion till kinesisk litteratur
från 1900-talets fram till nutid. Stort vikt läggs vid olika uppfattningar om litteraturens
funktion och författarens roll i och för sig och, vidare kommer vi att fokusera på den
samhälleliga, politiska och historiska bakgrunden, vilket kan vara avgörande för vår
förståelse av vissa litterära fenomen samt författarens självuppfattning och hur hen
blir betraktad av andra. Vi kommer att bekanta oss med olika romaner och utvalda
författare genom att läsa korta utdrag, men alla är välkomna med förslag med
hänsyn till egna läsintressen.
