Beschreibung

Topic of this publication is "popular belief in contemporary China". It focuses on the positions of participants in the Chinese language discourse rather than taking the current state of research in the Western world as the starting point for its exploration. This study lays open the discursive thread in the People's Republic of China about indigeneity and the critical reception by Chinese academics of Western research approaches. Many Chinese authors have begun to question the ability of Western theories to adequately explain phenomena in China. This book also deals with discursive strategies of Chinese academics aimed at the legitimation of popular belief and in support of a scientific treatment of popular belief in the People's Republic of China. The author gives a comprehensive overview of the broad range of positions within this rapidly unfolding social and academic sphere.
