The PRC does not differ from other socialist countries where the state failed to convince society from its interpretations of the past. In contrast to history, which strives for a neutral and objective stance from which to narrate the past, literature can be thought of as multifunctional when it comes to traumatic history: as healing by restoring meaning where it has been destroyed, as subversive by telling counter-histories of the master-narrative, as complementary by integrating suppressed voices and painful experiences into the collective memory or as disturbing by narrating trauma as a persisting condition that continues into the present. During this course we will look into contesting narratives that are negotiating China’s traumatic past. How is history dealt with in official Party history, in unofficial memoires, in visual and literary texts that make use of different narrative modes to deal with collective trauma in 20th-century China and to reconstruct the past? In order to understand the relationship of historical trauma and collective memory and to show the way in which memory relates to the past and how far memory shapes collective identity of the present, among others the concepts of communicative and cultural memory by Jan and Aleida Assmann will be introduced.
