As she is an inexperienced teacher, the author also focuses on her own self-improvement in learning to teach through educational drama as well as examining drama’s potential to complement the moral education curriculum for primary aged children in China. The thesis begins with a literature review that explores the authority-oriented nature of the moral education curriculum in mainland China and points out that basic challenges still exist in the current course despite reforms that have been implemented since 1999 on a national scale. It then argues for the potential of story-based drama as an innovative pedagogy that may help students develop their autonomous moral thinking as a way to address some of the shortcomings that exist in the present moral curriculum.

  • SUMMARY Rejuvenating Communism the Communist Youth
    SUMMARY Rejuvenating Communism The Communist Youth League as a Political Promotion Channel in Post-Mao China Jérôme Doyon Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Jérôme Doyon All rights reserved ABSTRACT Rejuvenating Communism : The Communist Youth League as a Political Promotion Channel in Post- Mao China Jérôme Doyon How does the Chinese Party-State renew its political elite and maintain its cohesion in the post-Mao era? This is a key question to understand the evolution of China’s political system and still the explanations one can find in the literature are far from satisfactory. Overall, the literature on transformation of the Chinese political elite focuses on the broad outcomes, the fact that since the 1980s officials tend to be younger and more educated, but it falls short in unveiling the mechanisms at play. It gives a limited answer to the elite renewal issue as it leaves politics aside. By focusing on educational levels and technical skills it forgets about the importance of political commitment. I approach these questions through a unique account of the role played by the Chinese Communist Youth League (CYL) in terms of cadres’ recruitment and promotion since the 1980s. Using biographical data and a snowball sample of 92 interviewees I reconstructed the trajectories of CYL cadres. Beyond my focus on the central organization of the CYL in Beijing, I compared the situation of the CYL in the capital cities of two very different provinces and in four universities.

    Chinese Posters & Papercuts ASIA BOOKROOM CHINESE POSTERS & PAPERCUTS The communication of the state’s desires to the Chinese people through the arts has a long history. This method of communication reached a high point in late 20th Century China during the Great Leap Forward and most especially during the Cultural Revolution. In fact, as many as 2.2 billion official portraits of Mao alone were published during the Cultural Revolution, an astounding figure particularly when you consider that a great many posters published at this time did not include Mao! In the early days of the People’s Republic posters served several purposes not the least being an effective way of communicating with the many illiterate people in the Chinese population. Additionally, posters offered a form of subliminal“ advertising” as many Chinese people tuned out to the messages, however, with the regular exposure that posters offered, ideas were still effectively transferred. While the messages were ignored by some, they were carefully noted by others. It has been said that given the subtle but regular changes in tone and message, posters were even more useful than newspapers to get a feel for which way the political winds were blowing. (Chinese Propaganda Posters from the Collection of Michael Wolf. – Anchee Min & Stefan R. Landsberger. Taschen 2003). Propaganda posters are a fascinating field of Chinese art and political history that opens up the modern history and culture of China in a special way. For Cultural Revolution material we commend to you the work of Stefan R. Landsberger both in the printed form of his books on the subject and the excellent website he and his colleagues have constructed at www.chineseposters.net which also includes an extensive bibliography.

Tourists’ Responses to Government Intentions for Red Tourism In China Xiang Wan A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Sheffield Hallam University For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2017 1 Abstract This study analyses the Chinese government’s involvement in Red Tourism, with a special focus on the government’s political intentions in conveying messages at Red Tourism sites, and, critically, how tourists respond to the messages presented there. There are two separate identifiable phases in the development of Red Tourism since 2004. The first phase is from 2004 to 2010 and the second one is from 2011 to 2015. Shaoshan, the birthplace of Mao Zedong, and Zhijiang, which is dedicated to commemorating the surrender of the Japanese Imperial Army, are selected to examine the government’s political intentions behind the messages presented at these two Red Tourism sites. The former is the best example from the first phase, while the latter is one of the most important in the second phase.

  • School Leadership, Citizenship Education and Politics in China Experiences from Junior Secondary Schools in Shanghai Governance and Citizenship in Asia
    Governance and Citizenship in Asia Shuqin Xu School Leadership, Citizenship Education and Politics in China Experiences from Junior Secondary Schools in Shanghai Governance and Citizenship in Asia Series editors Kerry J Kennedy, Centre for Governance and Citizenship, The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong Yan Wing Leung, Centre for Governance and Citizenship, The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong Sonny Shiu Hing Lo, Centre for Governance and Citizenship, The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong Aims and Scope This series explores how citizenship is shaped by social, political, cultural and historical contexts and how it may be moulded to serve the nation state in the age of globalization. In these publications we see how governance relates to all aspects of civic life, including politics, public policy, administration, civil society and the economy, as well as the core values of society. Titles cover themes including public trust and trust building, the role of civil society, citizens’ rights and obligations, citizenship identities including those related to gen- der, class and ethnicities. Authors explore how young people are shaped by demo- cratic and traditional value systems and the importance of citizenship challenges in the Asia Pacific region. Research collaborations in this interdisciplinary series probe questions such as: What are the links between ‘good governance’ and new forms of citizenship? What is the role of citizenship education as a tool in state formation and the development of active citizenship cultures? How do we explain the distinctive features of governance and citizenship in Asian societies? Through these publications we see that citizenship is an integral part of ‘good governance’ and that such governance ultimately enriches citizenship.
