*Master of Arts in Literary and Cultural Studies (MALCS)* Designed to introduce students to a wide range of cultural texts and to explore historical and contemporary issues within the context of modernity and globalization, *this two-year part-time MA programme offered by The Department of Comparative Literature* at the University of Hong Kong consists of eight courses taught over two evenings per week and a capstone project/dissertation at the end of the programme. Our courses adopt an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, comparative approach emphasizing critical thinking about global culture. We analyze films, literary works, and other cultural texts through the theoretical perspectives of post-structuralism, deconstruction, psychoanalysis, feminism, Marxism, and post-colonial criticism. We have a particular commitment to China-West studies, the critical examination of the impact of colonialism on global culture, and to the exploration of Hong Kong culture, ranging from its literature and cinema to its constructed urban environment and beyond. *Courses may include:* Cultures between Art and Industry Fabrications of Identity The Art and Politics of Narrative From Colonialism to Globalization Modernity and its Paths Questioning Sexual Difference Hong Kong and Beyond Dissertation Seminar Postmodernism Film and Popular Culture Law, Literature and Film Contemporary Chinese Societies through Literature and Film *More information*: Detailed information of the course and the Department of Comparative Literature can be viewed at http://www.hku.hk/complit *Application:* The regulations and application process to the University of Hong Kong can be viewed at URL: http://www.hku.hk/acad/tpgonline/ The closing date for application is *March 1, 20**10*. *Tuition Fee:* $70,000 paid in two installments in two years *Enquiries:* General Enquiry No.: 2859-2760 & 2859-2869 Email: Dr. Gina Marchetti, Programme Chair ([log in to unmask]) Ms. Fanny Chan, Programme Assistant ([log in to unmask]) ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message.
