La revue China Perspectives, annonce un appel à contributions pour son prochain numéro coordonné par Joachim Boittout (Université Paris Cité), dont le thème sera
Rethinking the People’s Republic of China (1949 to the Present Time) through human-animal relations
Acknowledging the multifaceted evolutions that took place in the PRC since 1949, this special issue of China Perspectives proposes to look at these transformations through human-animal relations — not only in the hope of suggesting alternative explanations of known facts, but also to unveil new patterns of evolutions in social groups and political phenomena. By doing so, a wide set of new social practices, urban fashions, and redefinitions of subjectivity and social interactions that burgeoned after Mao’s era can be scrutinized. In this context, animals and their evolving places and roles in Chinese society can function as keys to understanding the transformations that have occurred. In this regard, the PRC period appears to be a fruitful field to perform animal-related studies through a variety of approaches that reflect the diversity of existing methodological frameworks in animal studies ».
Date limite de soumission des contributions : 30 mai 2025.
