Beschreibung
This issue of the Berliner Chinahefte/Chinese History and
Society deals with cultural exchanges between China and the
outside world and with their impact, mostly in terms of
questions regarding tradition and modernity.
China is understood more as an area composed of certain
cultural elements which may include the Chinese (and
Taiwanese) diaspora, where a sense of belonging still exists,
and which exerts influence on everyday culture and habits.
Jens Damm is an Associate Fellow at the
European Research Centre on Contemporary Taiwan (ERCCT),
Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen. His research interests
include the new media and the Internet, the Taiwanese and
Chinese diasporas, gender studies and China’s cultural
diplomacy.
Hauke Neddermann is a PhD candidate at the Institute of East
Asian Studies, Freie Universität Berlin, and a Fellow at the
Berlin Institute of Critical Theory. In his research he
focusses on the social and discursive history of Chinese
youth, Chinese Communism/Marxism, and China’s revolutionary
era.
