SUMMARY:Embodied Memories of the “Nine Polemics”
DESCRIPTION:\n	Sun Peidong (Associate Professor\, Department of History\, F
 udan University\; HYI Visiting Scholar)\n	Chair/Discussant: Elizabeth Perr
 y (Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government\, Harvard University\; Director\
 , Harvard-Yenching Institute)\n\n	Co-sponsored with the Fairbank Center fo
 r Chinese Studies\n\n\n	Masterminded by Mao himself and drafted by the CCP
 ’s top theorists\, the Nine Polemics (jiu ping 九评)  made ideologica
 l and media preparations for the launching of the Cultural Revolution. The
  core issues in these polemics concerned the necessity to fight Soviet-sty
 le revisionism and prevent its happening in China\, the need to forestall 
 the American strategy of peaceful evolution\, and the urgency to cultivate
  China’s younger generation as revolutionary successors. The Nine Polemi
 cs had a profound influence on the Cultural Revolution generation. Its pol
 emical style and powerful rhetorical flourishes would soon become a model 
 for Red Guard polemics. Famous passages from the Nine Commentaries were me
 morized and later became rhetorical resources for debate in the Cultural R
 evolution. This talk shows how the Nine Polemics produced such powerful in
 fluences by analyzing its organized dissemination and the context of its r
 eception. Based on previously untapped archival sources\, as well as oral 
 histories specifically collected for this project\, the analysis focuses o
 n what aspects of the Nine Polemics are remembered and how they are rememb
 ered. A key finding shows that radio broadcast played a crucial role in di
 sseminating the Nine Commentaries and strengthening their influences throu
 gh the voices of the radio anchors.
