+ChinaComx PI, Lena Henningsen, will present a paper at the conference [Rethinking Modern Chinese Elites -- From Print to Computational Methods: Sources, Languages, and Interdisciplinarity](https://china-conference.univ-amu.fr/) organized by the [Elites, Networks and Power in Modern China project](https://www.enpchina.eu/) at Aix-Marseiile University on 10-12 June 2024.
+
+Her paper abstract:
+> It is a truism that Chinese culture is a culture of reading; and – with the exception of the time of high socialism – reading has always been a marker of cultural capital. Yet, how exactly did reading impact on individuals, society and the larger developments and transformations in Chinese history? What did Chinese citizens read when, why, and how? In how far was reading a transformative act for everyone – and what readings were limited to certain groups, to intellectual, literary or political elites? Studying historical reading practices poses a number of methodological problems, not least because it is very often a private, even intimate activity of which little historical documents exist. Extant accounts – often autobiographical sources – are ephemeral, anecdotal, and very often vague. To analyze reading practices during China’s long 1970s quantitatively, we developed the ReadAct database (https://readchina.github.io/readact.html) chronicling concrete historical reading acts as recorded in a broad array of life writing sources. In this paper, I will present findings from the database, taking into account the biases and blind spots in the sources and in the database. Considering that most accounts were written by urban educated youth sent to the countryside and considering what they chose to write about in their accounts (and what to leave out) the database chronicles how much of the social, literary and intellectual change commonly associated with the early years of the reform era had its origins in the reading quests of the rusticated educated youth. Moreover, these reading quests also anticipate how as a group these youths – many of them social and political outcasts at the time – would transform into the literary, cultural and / or intellectual elite of the early reform years.

+
+ChinaComx researcher Damian Mandzunowski will present a paper titled **Collective Reading Practices After the Cultural Revolution** at the conference [Political Lives in Socialist China](https://www.ehess.fr/fr/colloque/political-lives-socialist-china) organized by [Isabelle Thireau, CNRS/EHESS, CCJ-CECMC](https://www.ehess.fr/fr/personne/isabelle-thireau) and [Puck Engman, Center for Chinese Studies at UC Berkeley](https://history.berkeley.edu/puck-engman) and held at the EHESS: École des hautes études en sciences sociales in Paris on 10-12 June 2024. Click [here](../assets/images/PoliticalLivesInSocialistChina.pdf) for the program.
+
+
+His paper abstract:
+> Conventional understanding of post-Cultural Revolution China suggests a gradual but steady shift from politics to production. However, did politics truly vanish, or did one form of the political replace another? This paper takes a case study approach, examining a selection of mid-1970s mass-reading campaigns, to inquire how political study continued to shape the daily lives of workers and cadres. The mass phase of the Cultural Revolution, due to the excesses of group readings of confessions and accusations at struggle sessions, rendered texts relevant to virtually everyone. Once it was over by the early-1970s, it gave way again to more systematically organized practices of collective reading akin to those functioning in the PRC since 1949. While study materials swiftly adapted to current political goals, a system of incentives and penalties ensured regular participation. Detailed descriptions from above further facilitated a tightly controlled guidance. State propaganda hence put much effort in utilizing collective reading practices to convey notions of statehood, class struggle, and mass society. At the same time, collective readers ultimately choose their own participation strategies ranging from enthusiastic activism through careful ignorance to blatant disruption. Examining the intertwined relationship between collective reading practices, the resurgence of the state apparatus, and the intra-party struggles over Mao’s succession illustrates how the lived experience of politics retained its significance also within the context of state socialist promotion of production.
