East Asian Languages and Literatures to 1900 on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoThe above discussion about women’s presence and the premodern canon is very interesting to me as well. This will be a wonderful topic to draw scholars who specialize in women represented in poetry, fiction and drama in late imperial period as well as historical context for such representations.

The “reading Asian religious texts as literature” is particularly attractive to me — I would have suggested that even if you didn’t bring it up! And I think it’s something we need to encourage more in the field.
“Women and the premodern canon” would be nice as well — I…[Read more]

East Asian Languages and Literatures to 1900 on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoMaybe it’d help to put some ideas out there? Let me know if any of these seem appealing, or propose others to be discussed at the Exec Committee meeting in Vancouver:
* Between page and stage: performance literature in premodern east asia
* women and the premodern canon
* music and literature
* reading asian religious texts as literature
other ideas?
