After Mao, the return of the Old Man, Marie-Claire Bergere.
Since 1976, People's China has been trying to resolve its economic and social crisis through the policy of the four modernizations. Material stimuli, decollectivization of agriculture, rebirth of private enterprise, abandonment of socialist morality : the break with Mao's ideal and the Cultural Revolution seems total. The " old man " is born again, the return of the old traditions favors popular cults, individualism, even infanticide, while the West's cultural objects continue to fascinate. But this renaissance only reflects the failures and contradictions of the age of Mao. Civil society keeps quiet ; there is barely any social criticism ; political opposition is weak. The " old man " has not awakened China. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
