授業の概要と方法

This course is a brief introduction to the contemporary Chinese social thought and culture. Since the reform and opening-up starting from late 1970s, China has grown into the world's leading economics and a major actor in global and regional affairs. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the thoughts and mentalities of Chinese people during this period of time. The social transformation of Chinese society cannot be comprehended without understanding the perception and thought of those who brought out these changes. Based on this understanding, the course will review the major social and political thought and cultural movements in contemporary China that have major significance on the social transformation, as well as people's everyday life.
