Few events in the twentieth century have exerted more lasting impact on the formation,
transformation, and self-consciousness of modern Chinese culture than the May Fourth
Movement. What is May Fourth and why does it matter? On the one hand, May Fourth
ushered in an age of everything new — new culture, new science, and new revolution —
jettisoning all things old and Chinese; on the other, it sought to reinvent a form of
Chinese nationalism that would not only salvage the nation in peril but also maintain a
certain continuity with what was understood to be Chinese. This seminar is dedicated to
exploring and understanding the series of historical events that have come to be defined
as the May Fourth Movement, as well as its literary, aesthetic, epistemological, and
political implications. We will imagine ourselves as the “new youth” of that new era, who
found themselves thrust into the center of intense cultural, intellectual and political
debates and who took upon themselves to answer challenges posted by the age of
modernity
