Covers possible traditional antecedents, Meiji-Era developments, evolving social and cultural functions and the process by which a narrative structure ostensibly Western in origin was adapted to the literature then emerging. Close readings and class discussion will take up the genre’s relationship with science, ethics, nationalism, modernity, class and gender, as well its projection of subject and authority. Goal is an understanding of how the mystery genre provided (and continues to provide) Japanese authors with a framework through which to critique their society, as well as how the larger structural and conceptual similarities between mystery fiction and the novel has helped shape the development of modern Japanese literature.

It delves into the historical contexts that shaped the emergence of garden literature and its significance within Chinese literary and cultural traditions. In this discussion-based course, students will explore diverse literary genres, including short essays, poems, fiction, and related written expressions, coupled with visual sources and films. Students will either write a research paper or conduct a creative project that responds to a topic discussed in the course. By the end of the seminar, students will gain profound insights into the gendered nature of physical, textual, and visual garden spaces, as well as have a better understanding of the broader legacy of the garden literature genre. No Chinese language or previous coursework required. However, students who have taken other courses in Chinese history, literature, art history, and/or women and gender studies, may feel more comfortable with the subject matter of this course.
