Thirty Years of Chinese Transformation: the View from One Village
Carol Rifelj Lecture Series
Ellen has been engaged in fieldwork in one village in China since 1993, visiting periodically and writing two monographs based on that fieldwork (one on morality and one on food). Having just come back from fieldwork again this past sabbatical year, in this lecture she would like to take the long view and ask how the transformations, continuities and emerging contradictions she has observed can provide us a more microscopic and longitudinal understanding than we often get based on journalistic accounts or urban-based research.
