Abstract

This thesis examines the depictions of violence and gender in Mo Yan�s novel, Red Sorghum, and Zhang Yimou�s film adaptation, also called Red Sorghum. Both works are representative of roots-seeking movements in Chinese literature and film during the 1980s, which sought to find a non-politicized cultural identity.
