This doctoral dissertation research on the revolutionary memorials in China will extend China Studies scholarship on the political and cultural implications of economic development and reform since the late 1970s, and Cultural Geography scholarship on interpretations of memorial landscapes. It will examine the effects of economic development (including fiscal decentralization) on the cultural landscapes of commemoration - evolutionary memorials and shrines - as an indicator of broader ideological shifts associated with market reforms in China. It is structured on a provincial scale with three specific revolutionary memorial sites in Jiangxi: Jinggangshan, Nanchang, and Lushan. The field research will primarily involve secondary data collection of on-site archival research and primary data collection based on interviews with managerial staff, random visitors, and visitors with deeper personal involvement. Secondary data will serve as the baseline for comparison, indicating whether the sites are commercialized due to economic reform. Primary data analysis will be based on the reduced data (transcribed and coded file) for drawing inferences as to how people interpret the transformation, and how cultural landscapes of commemoration in China reveal the dynamic nature of Chinese cultural, social, and political values over time. By examining development in relation to the changing cultural landscape of commemoration in China in the case of Jiangxi, the fieldwork will help to investigate what transformation is occurring with the revolutionary memorials in China and what ideological shift is revealed in this transformation. The research will shed light on the impacts of economic development on political and cultural phenomena in China, revealing new insights into the rapidly changing economy and social structures of China. It will help interpret the relationship between ideology, development, and landscape in a country where such studies have been rare. It will address the gap between the geography of regional development and the cultural geography of China's regions, bridging the study of cultural landscapes of commemoration in the West and similar landscapes in China since studies on the cultural landscape of monuments tend to concentrate more on regions such as Europe and North America. The research will also introduce to the discipline of geography a rich cross-cultural resource for discerning contested ideologies as a result of economic development in the changing cultural landscape in China, providing the China Studies field with a cultural and political perspective in addressing the greater issue of how Chinese identity adjusts according to the effects of regional development in the reform era. As a Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement award, this award also will provide support to enable a promising student to establish a strong independent research career.

这篇关于中国革命纪念馆的博士论文研究将扩展中国研究奖学金关于 20 世纪 70 年代末以来经济发展和改革的政治和文化影响的研究，以及文化地理学关于纪念地景观解释的奖学金。它将研究经济发展（包括财政分权）对纪念文化景观（进化论纪念碑和神社）的影响，作为与中国市场改革相关的更广泛意识形态转变的指标。江西省有井冈山、南昌、庐山三个革命纪念地。实地研究将主要包括现场档案研究的二次数据收集以及基于对管理人员、随机访客和个人参与程度更深的访客的访谈的主要数据收集。二手数据将作为比较基准，表明这些地点是否因经济改革而商业化。主要数据分析将基于精简数据（转录和编码文件），以推断人们如何解释这一转变，以及中国的纪念文化景观如何揭示中国文化、社会和政治价值观随时间的动态本质。通过以江西为例考察中国纪念文化景观变化的发展，田野调查将有助于调查中国革命纪念馆正在发生什么样的转变，以及在这种转变中揭示了什么样的意识形态转变。该研究将揭示经济发展对中国政治和文化现象的影响，为快速变化的中国经济和社会结构提供新的见解。它将有助于解释意识形态、发展和景观之间的关系，在这样的研​​究很少见的国家。它将弥补区域发展地理学与中国地区文化地理学之间的差距，为西方纪念文化景观研究和中国类似景观研究架起桥梁，因为纪念碑文化景观的研究往往更多地集中在欧洲和北美等地区。该研究还将向地理学引入丰富的跨文化资源，以辨别中国不断变化的文化景观中因经济发展而产生的有争议的意识形态，为中国研究领域提供文化和政治视角，以解决中国身份如何根据改革时代区域发展的影响进行调整的更大问题。 作为博士论文研究改进奖，该奖项还将为有前途的学生建立强大的独立研究生涯提供支持。
