Propaganda in Modern Chinese Culture (CHI4603.01)

Ginger Lin

Whether on banners hung in public places or in shrill voices blaring from one of millions of loudspeakers spread across the country, propaganda slogans have been a major aspect of the Chinese Communist Party’s efforts to forge a modern socialist society. In this course, a selection of these slogans from the beginning of the communist era up to the present will be used as a source of authentic texts for study. Students will explore the role of government social propaganda in shaping modern Chinese culture through in-class discussions and essay writing while developing their competencies in listening, speaking, reading and writing in Mandarin Chinese.
