HIS 594 - USES OF THE PAST IN MODERN CHINA

College of Arts & Sciences

Credit(s): 3

The twentieth century has brought great change to the cultural landscape of China. This change is marked by a paradox: New China’s claim to political legitimacy has been based on both revolution and historical continuity. How is the past adapted for the present? This course will examine this dilemma through cultural relics: architecture, art, and artifact. Considering changes to the Chinese city as well as museum history, we will study how cultural relics have been understood in modern China.

Prereq: Any course in Chinese history or consent of instructor.
