Lecture Title: From World History to World Literature: China, the South, and the Global 60s


Abstract:

This lecture will explore the connection between world literature and world history. Taking the world historical event of the global 60s as an example, this lecture will reconsider the place of China in that event from the perspectives of literary communities that may be considered the South to the Chinese North, such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Vietnam, and through this process, propose a new conception of world literature.
