Inevitable Impositions: Censorship and Modern Chinese Literature with Professor Michel Hockx (University of Notre Dame), Andrew L. Markus Memorial Lecture.
Location: Kane 225
ALT This lecture will draw on the insights of New Censorship Studies to discuss examples of censorship of modern Chinese literature from both before and after the 1949 communist takeover. Since the 1990s, humanities scholars active in the field of New Censorship Studies have highlighted the ways in which all human communication inevitably takes place in contexts where social forces impose limits on free expression. New Censorship Studies shows us that, when it comes to culture, censorship is the norm rather than the exception, and that censorship is a global phenomenon. The challenge for humanities scholars, especially those of us working on China, is to document, describe, contextualize, and analyze each instance of censorship in detail, and to resist simplified judgments.
