- Summary:
- Certain fictional texts written during the seventeen years after the foundation of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and before the Cultural Revolution are seen as influential and popular over time. In her research project presented in this video LENA HENNINGSEN investigates which factors lead to said popularity, which normative elements are contained in the texts and how they are constructed. She explains how descriptions of everyday actions of the protagonists are codes for underlying normative values and thus provide insights about the early years of the PRC.
