China is finding a new position on the global stage. The newly created self-image has to be legitimated through tradition, but there also has to be a process of digestion, because the events of the past always seem to emerge in times of change. How can this process be seen in the culture and what do these new, young voices of China sound like? How does China exchange its cultural wealth with other countries?
All of the lectures will be held in German.
