between the discourse and the exercise of political
power – the means by which the use of certain kinds
of language in political campaigns actively furthered
the power interests of those involved.
The Cultural Revolution is a uniquely turbulent and controversial period in modern Chinese history, involving multiple power struggles throughout the People’s Party and at all levels. Amongst the most... |
