Course Description

Students are introduced to major events of China’s 20th century history from the perspective of Memory Studies. Several topics are covered by this course, and a major thread running through these topics is the impact of the wars (especially the Fourteen-year War, 1931-1945). After completing this course students can understand China’s 20th Century history in a fresher way and be able to apply the analytical tools of Memory Studies to understand a given historical event or phenomenon.
