Research: Environmental Humanities in the People's Republic of China: an analysis on Chinese environmental sociology (TEMPORARY)
Curriculum East Asia
ABSTRACT (TEMPORARY)
The destructive repercussions of the global ecological crisis have urged the environmental debate to move beyond the sole scientific domain, permeating the social, cultural political and media discourse.Drawing on a review of the literature on Environmental Humanities in the Chinese context, the study focuses on environmental sociology as a key lens for examining how the PRC academic community has developed autonomous theoretical paradigms shaped by specific political and cultural imperatives. It aims to analyse the contemporary configuration of the discipline, assessing its conceptual transformations, international influences and institutional logics, while highlighting the Chinese Communist Party’s role in defining its guiding principles.
