二十世紀中文文學選讀 Selected Readings in Twentieth Century Chinese Literature
Instructor: 楊佳嫻 Chia-Hsien Yang, 羅仕龍 Shih-Lung Lo
1. Course Overview
This course will lead students on a reading of the works of twentieth century Chinese-language narrative genres, with a focus on fiction and drama. We suggest 9 reading themes selected from modern and contemporary literature, including the original texts as well as their adaptations or rewritings. These works attest to their authors’ observation of modern Chinese society and provide a unique perspective into its recent transformations. Students are encouraged to think critically about human nature and the interactions among various social roles as elaborated by the language of literature and other relevant forms. Students will also be able to envision and realize the social, historical and political contexts underlying these literary works.
本課程以小說與戲劇兩種敘事文類為主軸，以主題介紹方式，與同學們一起閱讀二十世紀中文文學原文選段、改寫或其在不同文類間的轉換，藉此觀察作品所在的現當代社會面貌與變遷，以及作者對於人情世態的體會與理解。
