Defining Modernity: Guomindang Rhetorics of a New China, 1920-1970Center for Chinese Studies, University of Michigan, 2002 - 288 頁 Over the course of the twentieth century, the Guomindang (the KMT or Nationalists) articulated and marketed symbols, traits, and institutions crucial to a modernizing China. Understood as constituents of modernity, tangible elements (paper money, flags, national anthems), specific institutions (educational, governmental, and scientific facilities), and intangible qualities (nationalism, social trust, social discipline) all drew the attention and advocacy of Party members. This volume offers a reappraisal of Guomindang history based on a close analysis of cultural, ideational, and symbolic practices rather than the more common social, political, and economic frames. Chapters on education policies and practices, Party relations with Chinese Christian and missionary communities, the use of paper currency, political propaganda, and the construction of scientific institutions all provide fresh points of comparison with Chinese Communist ideas, practices, and dilemmas. The essays here highlight the complexities and range of creative possibilities confronting a nation-state bent upon the "modernizing" mission.
