Title: Modernity and China (I): Power and Life
Description: Chinese modernity is addressed using different approaches and issues, while focusing on one set of issues each time. This term, course examines how a certain way of governing became the threshold of modernity. The inspiration and limits of the framework of governmentality and biopower, in particular, are seen through cases such as famine prevention, famine relief and the failure to do so, and through the interaction of different modes of power in Maoist socialism and post-Mao China.
