| Description: | Over the past decade, Chinese science fiction in translation has garnered attention worldwide, winning international awards and bringing Chinese literature to a wider audience than ever before. The genre is often seen as a way of representing China's breakneck economic and technological development in a political environment where censorship is the norm. This course will consider the development of Chinese language science fiction from the early twentieth century to the present. Stories will touch on themes ranging from cyborgs to alien invasion to environmental catastrophe. We will consider Chinese science fiction's unique contributions to both Chinese literary tradition and global science fiction. All readings will be in English.
