HIST 308 Emotions in Chinese History
This course offers an exploration of the role emotions plays in people’s personal and social life in Chinese history. It challenges the conventional idea that emotions such as love, desire, hate, and fear are universal and timeless, and thus do not have a history. By examining a variety of emotions and their articulation in the Chinese past and present, we will read emotions as sociocultural and historical constructs.
