by Carol Yinghua Lu


Article Description

A revised version of a paper presented at Cultural Memory: An International Symposium on March 25, 2006, at House of World Cultures, Berlin. Carol (Yinhua) Lu examines how culture is manifested as fragments of memory in time. The last one hundred years of transformation in Chinese society and culture are seen as a factitious separation and disconnection of generations.
