Funded Activity Summary

Local Remembering and National Forgetting: Memory Politics in Modern China. This project aims to explore the politics of local remembering and national forgetting, and their roles in shaping state-society relationships in modern China. The project expects to generate new insights into key narratives of China’s recent past, and how they are recast by local museums to counter official discourses that elevate certain memories and suppress others. Expected outcomes include enhancing theoretical and empirical knowledge of the roles of heritage and memory in China’s contemporary cultural politics. Significant benefits to Australia will include new knowledge towards a more nuanced and multidimensional understanding of China’s priorities in cultural politics, especially in the Asia-Pacific region.
