> Eco-Aesthetics in Modern Chinese Literature and Film
>
> This panel explores the ways in which modern and contemporary Chinese
> literary texts and films address, explore and negotiate the complex, often
> ambiguous relationships between human beings and the environment. How do
> creative works from China and Taiwan present contradictory interactions
> between people and the natural world? How do literary and visual texts
> address environmental degradation amid radically transforming ecosystems?
> How are human relationships with the non-human negotiated symbolically in
> literature and film, and how have these changed over time? What is the
> connection and potential conflict between individual attitudes toward
> the environment, classical Chinese cultural ideals concerning the
> interaction between nature and man, and the exigencies of modern national
> development? What is the role of cultural translation and Chinas
> engagement with non-Chinese nations, ideas and texts in the evolution of
> thinking about environmental issues? What is the power of literary and
> cinematic stories in influencing peoples behavior, and what is uniquely
> powerful about the aesthetic strategies in Chinese fictional and cinematic
> texts?
>
> Building upon recent scholarship in the fields of Chinese eco-aesthetics
> and eco-cinema, this panel seeks theoretically informed papers that
> further our understanding of how Chinese thinkers, fiction writers and
> film-makers creatively address and engage these problems in a variety of
> literary and visual genres. Interdisciplinary and comparative approaches
> are welcome.
