Drawing on cultural trauma theory, this book delves into the intricate process of shaping the collective memory of the Nanjing Massacre in China. It explores how the mass media, political power, and public practices collectively influence the politics and culture of memory in contemporary China. By examining the historical context and diverse mediating spaces, the authors conduct a comprehensive textual analysis of news reports from traditional media since the event occurred. This analysis reveals the gradual construction of the Massacre as a local incident, a national trauma, and ultimately a shared memory within the Chinese society.
In addition, the book conducts a study of physical and online memorial spaces, including the Memorial Hall, commemorative activities on the Internet, and new media platforms. Through this exploration, it uncovers the production and reproduction of trauma narratives, as well as the challenges these narratives face. The final part of the book further examines the interactions between media and other institutional settings, while also addressing issues of global memory and reconciliation in East Asia.
This title is a must-read for anyone interested in memory studies, media and communication, and particularly the collective memory of the Nanjing Massacre. It offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics that shape the memory of historical events and provides a rich understanding of the ongoing struggles and challenges associated with trauma, memory, and reconciliation in contemporary China.
