The paper should be 8-page long, standard margins, 12-point font, double spaced.

Prompt:

• In the last half of the class we are exploring the rural/urban divide in China’s economic reforms.
• Compare and contrast the ways in which rural migrants and urban residents seek to achieve their aspirations for class mobility.
• How does each pursue a project of “self-development” and their desire to embody a modern subjectivity?
• What are the structural aspects at work in creating the growing economic disparity between urban and rural residents.
• Select specific ethnographic stories from the readings and films as a way of grounding your comparison. Make sure you distinguish between quoting and paraphrasing and cite your sources in each case. Citations can be simply the author’s name plus page number.
• You should draw on all elements of the course: readings, lectures, and films.
• No plagiarism!!!

I will upload readings, lectures, and movie links later. Be sure to focus on the prompt, show integration of the course materials as much as possible, and use only the materials I provided. Do no use any other outside sources.
