Description for Whither China?: Intellectual Politics in Contemporary China
Paperback. Chinese cultural and intellectual politics waned after the Tiananmen Square incident. This volume explores their revitalisation in the 1990s. Editor(s): Zhang, Xudong. Num Pages: 408 pages, 12 b&w photos, 6 tables. BIC Classification: 1FPC; 3JJPR; JFCX; JP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 150 x 231 x 23. Weight in Grams: 652.
Whither China? presents an in-depth and wide-angled picture of Chinese intellectual life during the last decade of the millennium, as China struggled to move beyond the shadow of the Tiananmen tragedy. Because many cultural and intellectual paradigms of the previous decade were left in ruins by that event, Chinese intellectuals were forced in the early 1990s to search for new analytical and critical frameworks. Soon, however, they found themselves engulfed by tidal waves of globalization, surrounded by a new social landscape marked by unabashed commodification, and stunned by a drastically reconfigured socialist state infrastructure.
