From the Editor:

When the Chinese Communist Party founded the People’s Republic of China in 1949, it faced the enormous task of building not only a new national economy, but also a new class politics. To this end, cultural production was geared toward actively promoting the idea of class identity transformation. In contrast to the revolutionary period, economic reforms have led workers and peasants to lose their status in the official ideology as the “most advanced forces of production.”
Through the study of the production and reception of theatre plays, films and TV drama from both the revolutionary and the contemporary periods, this issue highlights the evolution of the representations of working class identities and their role in shaping a collective socialist working class identity and how they get reworked and reproduced in the reform era. It shows how a range of issues, such as the meaning of labour, fairness, equality, exploitation, and labour relations, are negotiated in media and cultural products. The question of how these representations interact in the symbolic battlefield, and with what political, social, and economic motives, causes, consequences, and ramifications, looms large.

ALL INTERESTED ARE WELCOME!

This seminar will be held in English.
Séverine Arsène, chief editor of China Perspectives, will chair the session.
