The contradictions of modernisation run through the whole of modern
Chinese history. The abundance of manufactured goods being sold in
the west attests to China's industrial revolution, but this
capitalist vision of 'utopia' sits uneasily with traditional
Chinese values. It is also in conflict with the socialism that has
been the bedrock of Chinese society since the foundation of the
People's Republic in 1949. Utopia and Modernity in China examines
the conflicts inherent in China's attempt to achieve a 'utopia' by
advancing production and technology. Through the lenses of
literature, arts, law, the press and the environment, the
contributors interrogate the contradictions of modernisation in
Chinese society and its fundamental challenges. By unpicking both
China's vision of utopia and its realities and the increasing
tension between traditional Chinese values and those of the west,
this book offers a unique insight into the cultural forces that are
part of reshaping today's China.
