SoSe 22: The Suppressed Voices of Modern China
Ko-wu Huang
Comments
History is often presented as a field of competing ideologies. The dominant position has always suppressed other non-dominant views in order to ensure its authority and legitimacy. This course introduces some of the historical events and figures that were suppressed by the mainstream in China from the late Qing Dynasty to the mid-20th century with a focus on the Republican period. It includes works on "counter-revolutionary discourse" as well as works that present the shadows behind the revolution or discuss the underdogs and losers. In terms of events, the course will introduce the Taiping Rebellion, the Boxer Uprising, the Sino-Japanese War, the Great Retreat of 1949, and the early years of the Communist Revolution. In terms of figures, the course will focus on political and academic figures such as Yan Fu, Lin Shu, Liang Qichao, Pu Yi, Wang Jingwei, and others. Through the understanding of suppressed voices, this course hopes to provide a broader and more diverse perspective on modern China. close
