Saturday, April 05, 2014
9:00 am - 2:00 pm

Please join us for a four-day international workshop (Apr 3-6) on Remapping a Discipline: Modern Chinese Literatures, which will survey the field of modern Chinese literatures as it is currently configured, while examining new directions in which it is moving. The workshop will explore the diversity of ethnic, national, and linguistic dimensions conventionally bundled into our notion of what is "Chinese," together with the multiplicity of formats and media that may be included under the rubric of "literature." The workshop is free and open to the public. Modern Chinese Literatures, Day 2-9:15-10:45 Panel 5: Alternate Geotemporalities. CHAIR: Leo Ching (Duke).
