This course focuses on the large-scale experiments in new Chinese “building” run under the gaze of Mao Zedong from the decade preceding the 1949 inauguration of the People’s Republic of China through Mao’s death in 1976. The first part of the seminar introduces the traditional organizational structures and habits of thought embedded in the targeted sites. This grounding is combined with an introduction to the deep resources of Columbia’s research collections. Finally, primary resources from these collections and assigned readings are used to explore the particular “experiments” in modern China building and the qualities of “new” and other discourses that the campaigns of Mao’s China represented.
