Cíle předmětu
The course explores how the transition to market socialism and partial retreat of the state have created a freer, more individualistic and wealthier society, but also one in which the decline of socialist ideology and collectivist ways of life and previous certainties in the organization of life have affected attitudes and behaviours. The course will establish the socio-political parameters in which social expression and lifestyles are experienced, survey key processes such as urbanization and migration, and introduce concepts such as “liquid modernity” to help explain people’s responses. The course explores the following features of contemporary Chinese society: Chinese millenials; internet and gaming; celebrity industry; LGBTQ, gender and feminism; sex; music; drugs; football fans.
