New in the Digital Archive of Chinese Studies: Fifty Influential Public
Intellectuals
http://www.sino.uni-heidelberg.de/dachs/volland050423.htm
In fall 2004, the Guangzhou weekly _Nanfang renwu zhoukan_ published a
list of fifty Chinese “public intellectuals” that triggered a major
discussion in the Chinese print and online media. The debate on
independent-minded intellectuals who fight for a public cause and have
the courage to speak their opinion proved one of the most contentious
issues discussed in the PRC in 2004 – so contentious in fact that the
CCP decided, in November 2004, to end the debate by banning the media
from further using the concept of “public intellectuals.”
Who are these fifty individuals? What have they written, said, and done
to be considered opinion leaders, capable of shaping and transforming
public discourse in the PRC? Who, for example, are Mao Yushi, Gao
Yaojie, and Wang Yi?
Over the past year, DACHS has made an effort to find out who these fifty
individuals are, what they are doing, and why they may have been
nominated for the list of fifty. We have downloaded from the Internet
articles written by these fifty individuals, from single essays to
larger collections and entire websites, as well as other sources
relating to them. The collection, which is dynamic and continues to
grow, can be accessed here:
