Getting to the 'Heart' of the Matter
Haiyan Lee, an associate professor in Stanford's Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, has been studying Chinese literature and culture from the pivotal period between 1900 and 1950 with the aim of documenting what she calls the "sentimental revolution" of China.
Professor Lee states, globalization has entailed the embracing of "basic western-derived, sentiment-based assumptions about personhood and sociality," which she said, "has paved the path for melodramatic love stores like Titanic to conquer China and much of the rest of the world."
