The Significance and Implicit Transmission of the Great Leap Famine 1959-61
Stephan Feuchtwang will speak about the great leap forward at the University of Wisconsin.
When:
April 13, 2011 4:00pm to 5:30pm
Where
Professor Stephan Feuchtwang is a senior research associate of the Department and Programme Director for the MSc China in Comparative Perspective. He has been engaged in research on popular religion and politics in mainland China and Taiwan since 1966, resulting in a number of publications on charisma, place, temples and festivals, and civil society. He is presently engaged in a comparative project exploring the theme of the recognition of catastrophic loss, including the loss of archive and recall, which in Chinese cosmology and possibly elsewhere is pre-figured in the category of ghosts. He is pursuing this project through field studies in Berlin as well as in Taiwan and mainland China. Most recently he has been pursuing a project on the comparison of civilisations and empires.
