The Spirit of Selflessness in Maoist China: Socialist Medicine and the New Man

Autor C. Lynteris
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 oct 2012
Assuming power in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party was soon faced with a crucial problem: how to construct the socialist 'New Man'? Using Foucault's theory of 'technologies of the self', Lynteris examines the conflict between self-cultivation and the abolition of the self in the biopolitically neuralgic field of 'socialist medicine'.
