Trolls and Talking Heads

2/10/2021

 
​New on the site this time:

For our “Youth Concerns” rubric, Freya Ge and I translate a Youthology piece on polarization and hate speech on China’s internet.

In addition, I translate a conversation between political scientist Liu Yu and writer Murong Xuecong on the stigmatization of the term “establishment intellectual.”  This piece reads like it was from another era, because it was published on the Chinese-language version of the New York Times web site in 2013, and stands as a reminder of how much certain things have changed.

Finally, an interview with historian Yang Kuisong, who is part of an important group of scholars in China who have begun to treat the Chinese revolution and the process of nation-building as history, bringing admirable sophistication and objectivity to their work.

Department of shameless self-promotion:

I recently published a piece on “China’s Intellectual Ecology” in Palladium, a dynamic new journal concerned with the future of governance.
​
I will be traveling to Germany (!) next week, where I will participate in two online events:  “Understanding China in Uncertain Times,” on October 5, hosted by the Oxford Center, and “The Changing Intellectual Landscape in China,” on October 6, hosted by the Berlin Contemporary China Network.   The times will not work for everyone, obviously, but the events will be recorded and I will post the links when they are available.

    About this site

    This web site is devoted to the subject of intellectual life in contemporary China, and more particularly to the writings of establishment intellectuals.  What you will find here are essentially translations of texts my collaborators and I consider important.  Click here for tips on getting the most out of the site.
