Lecture: What Love Has Got to Do with Politics: Passion and Love in Chinese Film

The Confucius Institute of The University of Texas at Dallas presents Ban Wang, Stanford professor of Chinese literature and culture, in a public lecture “What Love Has Got to Do with Politics: Passion and Love in Chinese Film." By looking at images from Chinese films, Wang challenges the view that private affection and political structures are contrary to each other. Wang argues that private love may find a public or political way of working itself out. Admission is free. Jonsson Performance Hall is near Drive C on the UT Dallas campus.
