Our fascination with superheroes is evident everywhere - at the Cineplex, in video games, in comics, even on lunchboxes. This course explores the specifically Chinese take on superheroes. In-depth study of the cult Chinese novel Three Kingdoms and its TV and movie adaptations provides a basis to see what idealized heroes may reveal about a culture and about its collective fantasies. Hours credit: 3. One time only.
