The Rising Individual and Changing Moral Practice in China
A two-day international conference on social change in China
When:
May 2, 2008 12:00am to May 3, 2008 12:00am
The rise of the individual represents one of the most profound changes in Chinese society since the late 1970s. Yet it remains understudied.
Bringing together a group of anthropologists, economists, historians, literary scholars, and sociologists from China, Norway, and the United States, this conference explore two important issues: First, in what specific ways has individualsm been on the rise since the market reform? Second, what impact does the rising individual have on China’s moral values and practices? A broader question emerges from the conference papers that may poset a challenge to China scholars across disciplinary boundaries: Is the rising individual important enough to become a new unit of analysis, a new perspective, and a new research agenda?
