Ines Eben von Racknitz
Kommentar
The political, social and cultural changes under the leadership of Mao Zedong (1893-1976) after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 (Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution) encompassed almost all areas of life of the people in China. They remain influential into the 21st century in sofar that almost the entire political elite in today's China experienced their formative years and youth under Mao's rule and grew up with the "cult" of his leadership. The roots of "Maoism", however, emerge long before the Mao era and “Maosim” itself continues to be an evolving concept to this day, not only in China, but globally and is at the same time an international phenomenon. So what did it mean to live in the years under Mao, to cope with everyday life and to grow up? How do people live with the memory, what traces remain in art and music? How did Mao thought evolve in political parties in Peru, India and Africa? In this seminar, we will deal comprehensively with the era, looking at it not only from the perspective of political history, but above all from the perspective of the people who experienced it within China and globally.
Chinese texts will be read in translation, but also offered in the original, so that the course is open to all students, e.g. also from Global History. Schließen
