Interpretazioni della storia in Cina. Uso politico e letture del passato

This volume focuses on different areas of interpretation of the history of the People's Republic of China, ranging from the Communist Party's peculiar reinterpretation of its own past to the instrumental use of the so-called "historical nihilism", from the practice of historical analogies for current political purposes to the historiographical approach of global history. The book also explores the complex relationship between history and memory - public and individual - as it unfolds in modern and contemporary Chinese literature. Finally, the picture is enriched by the historical narratives of television production, as well as specific examples of the gender history of the Hakka minority.
