讲座主旨
China is saturated with complex emotions. Although emotions are constitutive in Chinese public culture , their implications are poorly understood. In this presentation, I aim to illuminate how and why emotions and affect open up new avenues for understanding the dynamics, struggles and tensions in contemporary Chinese society and politics.
