WiSe 21/22: Money and Mobility in Contemporary China
Cheryl Schmitz
Kommentar
In less than a century, the People’s Republic of China has gone from being a highly impoverished rural society to a site of rising affluence and geographic and social mobility. Yet much remains to be understood about the moral shifts that have taken place alongside these socio-economic transformations. This course takes an anthropological approach to examine shifting relations between money and mobility in the contemporary PRC. We will explore what may have constituted “traditional” meanings of money in Chinese societies, and how these have changed with the upheaval of revolution and reform in the latter half of the twentieth century. We will then closely examine several cases of, for instance, rural-urban migration, relations between private business and government, financialization, transnational migration, and digitalization. Students will learn not only about China’s complex past and contemporary challenges, but also about the nuances of ethnographic research and writing. Schließen
