Documentaries have recently become a favourite format for Chinese
state-directed media to present an officially sanctioned view of
history. Indeed, this is not confined to Chinese national history.
In stark contrast to the earlier self-centred preoccupation with
Chinese history, there has been an upsurge in interest in foreign
history, with a view to illuminating China's role not only in world
history, but also on the global stage today, and in the future.
This book examines three recent Chinese documentary television
series which present the officially sanctioned view of the rise of
the modern West, the reasons for the end of the Soviet Union, and
the legitimisation of the present-day Chinese government via a
specific reading of modern Chinese history to argue for a 'Chinese
rise' in the future. With a focus on these documentaries, Gotelind
Muller discusses how history is presented on screen, and explores
the function of visual history for memory culture and wider
society. Further, this book reveals how the presentation of Chinese
and foreign history in a global framework impacts on the officially
transmitted views on Self and Other, and thus provides a keen
insight into how the Chinese themselves regard their 'global rise'.
Documentary, World History, and National Power in the PRC will be
welcomed by students and scholars working across a number of
fields, including Chinese studies, East Asian studies, media
studies, television studies, history and memory studies.
