Chinese Cultural Studies Seminar: Land

Land as part of the Earth is repeatedly reconfigured in China throughout the 20th century, first by the Reformists and pioneers of the New Culture, then by geoscientists and writers, as well as by economic planners and social thinkers of recent decades. This seminar provides a critical review of this multi-dimensional cultural and conceptual practice of land, as well as its possible role in the era of climate change.
