Monika Dix replied to the topic MLA 2016 Austin: Panel Ideas? in the forum
East Asian Languages and Literatures to 1900 on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoI also support the idea of women’s presence and writing in the premodern canon. How about something like “women, agency, and literary production (“literary arts” if you think about music, drama, etc.) in premodern East Asia”???
Just a thought that we can discuss more in Vancouver.

Li Guo replied to the topic MLA 2016 Austin: Panel Ideas? in the forum
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.

Shun-Chang Kevin Tsai replied to the topic MLA 2016 Austin: Panel Ideas? in the forum
East Asian Languages and Literatures to 1900 on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoAll these are wonderful ideas! With regard to “women and the premodern canon” — why not “nimen” or “tamen” and the premodern canon? I feel that perhaps we need to clarify who we/you/they are, though an exciting topic this might be even in this somewhat ambiguous form. Alright, back to grading Chinese 101 exams…

East Asian Languages and Literatures to 1900 on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoHi — sorry not to respond to this earlier — was out at a conference.
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]

other ideas?
