Cíle předmětu
This course aims to examine the historical, political, social and cultural construction of borders in contemporary China (the focus is on the People’s Republic of China) from a critical perspective. A critical perspective in the context of this module means interrogating borders beyond their traditional territorial meaning. Students will engage with the recent research across a range of disciplinary and intellectual traditions, including Chinese Studies, International Relations, International Political Sociology, Cultural Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, and Migration Studies. The course will stimulate questioning the organisation of Chinese political and cultural space through familiarisation with and understanding of its bordering practices and the ways they create inequalities and impact identities and citizenship. Throughout the course the students will gain a greater understanding of how political power works to construct and shape borders around and within Chinese society, marginal sites and groups, the relations between majority and minority groups through the dialogical logic of exclusion and inclusion along the markers of ethnicity, gender, class, race, religion, and culture. In particular, the conceptual links between borders and identities, gender, race, family, population and citizenship, and the processes of migration, mobility, diasporic formations, border-crossing, and internal migration will be examined.
