Event Details

Christopher Fan will deliver a lecture entitled "The Genres and Space-Times of Asian American Realism." Professor Fan received his Ph.D. in English from UC Berkeley and is now Associate Professor of English at UC Irvine and Director of UCI Global Asias. His first book, Asian American Fiction After 1965: Transnational Fantasies of Economic Mobility (Columbia UP, 2024) argues taht contemporary Asian American fiction, like the class identities of its authors, passes through a two cultures conflict between the arts and sciences, which is an abiding legacy of modernization projects spanning Japanese, American, and now Chinese imperial histories, each of which emphasized technical and scientific skills in service of rapid industrialization. Professor Fan's lecture is co-sponsored by Language & Literature and the UT Dallas's Center for Asian Studies.
