Cultural Revolution Culture, often denigrated as nothing but
propaganda, was liked not only in its heyday but continues to be
enjoyed today. A Continuous Revolution sets out to explain its
legacy. By considering Cultural Revolution propaganda art-music,
stage works, prints and posters, comics, and literature-from the
point of view of its longue duree, Barbara Mittler suggests it was
able to build on a tradition of earlier art works, and this allowed
for its sedimentation in cultural memory and its proliferation in
contemporary China. Taking the aesthetic experience of the Cultural
Revolution (1966-1976) as her base, Mittler juxtaposes close
readings and analyses of cultural products from the period with
impressions given in a series of personal interviews conducted in
the early 2000s with Chinese from diverse class and generational
backgrounds. By including much testimony from these original
voices, Mittler illustrates the extremely multifaceted and
contradictory nature of the Cultural Revolution, both in terms of
artistic production and of its cultural experience.
