This course is aimed at learning how to deal with the relationship between politics and memory in the People's Republic of China and on Taiwan. It is a seminar course which requires active participation from the students' side by way of discussion and presentation. After an introduction by the professor to the state of the art of research on memory and poliics in the PRC, students will be asked to give presentations on issues regarding the memory of delicate events related to the PRC's contemporary history as well as to the history of Taiwan under Guomindang rule or on topics related to dealing with the memory of the 3rd Reich in Germany and Austria. Discussions will be focused on comparing the situation in the PRC and on Taiwan with the effort to address the past in both East and West Germany as well as in Austria.
The seminar will be held in the classroom and will only shift to the digital format if the university's leadership decides to change to digital teaching mode.
