Gotelind Müller: Patriotic Education Bases in China, Gebunden

Klappentext

The 'patriotic education campaign' is the most long-standing of all campaigns in the history of the People's Republic of China and is notable for the breadth of tools it applies. Among these, the system of so-called 'patriotic education bases', the number of which has increased massively, stands out in particular. These sites dot the whole country and are aimed at Chinese citizens of all ages. This book is based on printed and visual materials collected over many years across China, and combines them with personal on-site observations. It explores systematically how narratives and framings have evolved over time, and where the interplay of narrative, visual, and material elements opens up possibilities for divergent readings.
