Insights from the Past: Trauma, Memory, and History in Contemporary China
29.99 €
This book offers a look at the cultural history of contemporary China through an exploration of the tensions between memory and history. Unlike most studies of China, which focus primarily on economics, governance, politics, and international relations, this book focuses on the “human dimension” of the changes of recent decades; it explores the experiences of trauma and social upheaval among Chinese intellectuals. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including political and aesthetic writings, fiction, film, and other forms of public discourse, the author demonstrates unique ways of understanding China’s historical destiny.
