Xin Fan, Yan He
Kommentar
The past dictates our future. Therefore, it is both relevant and even to a certain degree critical for us to understand China's past as we are facing its rise today. In this course, we will together explore some trains of thought that have shaped and will continue to influence the trajectory of modern Chinese state by integrating both local and global approaches in the study of modern Chinese history. By doing so, we will come to a better understanding of this country's future trajectory in the world arena.
This course is divided into two sections. The first section serves as a thematic survey of the schools of intellectual thought that have become available in China in the early twentieth century, which include nationalism, liberalism, cultural conservatism, Marxism etc. Then, the second section will place China's intellectual movements within a global network of liberalism, anti-colonialism, anarchism, socialism, and cultural cosmopolitanism by primarily focusing on the case of the May Fourth Movement. As a result, the instructors of this course will contend that the dynamics between the local and global are a key to understanding the rise of modern Chinese state. Schließen
