dc.description.abstract | This thesis leads a historicized enquiry and analysis into the concept of children and the “new enlightenment” culture of China in the 1980s. Different from previous studies that discuss children only in the context of children’s literature, I explore this concept in a broader and more complex historical context in the post-Mao era. The change in the concept of children reflects how the “new enlightenment” culture had inherited and transformed from that of the Mao era, and how it had revitalized the May Fourth legacy. I argue that children, as the subject of the “new enlightenment”, had been placed at the center of the intertwined discourse networks of education, science, nation-building and class. Historically and metaphorically, children bore the expectations and anxieties of various subjects. Through the practices of the “new enlightenment” in 1980s, children were in the process of being imagined and shaped by these overarching structures and subjects. | |
