Posters of the Cultural Revolution: Contemporary Chinese perspectives on an era of propaganda

公众评论人士对中国近代史的兴趣不如对中国当前非凡的改革和扩张时代的兴趣大。这个项目是基于这样的假设：过去的图像和记忆是现在的意义和交流模式的线索。像这里所提议的那样，通俗易懂的文化史作品将使包括华裔公民在内的广大澳大利亚公众，以及广泛的学术界，能够对我们最大的贸易伙伴，以及它对交流、视觉文化和过去的态度，有一个细致入微的情感视角。

China's recent history is of less interest to public commentators than its current extraordinary era of reform and expansion. This project is based on the assumption that the images and memories of the immediate past are clues to the meaning and communication patterns of the present. Accessible works of cultural history, such as is proposed here, will give the broad Australian public, including citizens of Chinese origin, as well as the extensive scholarly community, access to a nuanced and emotional view of our largest trading partner, and its attitude to communication, visual culture and the past.
