Religion, Secularism, and Love as a Political Discourse in Modern China
About this book
What is the meaning of love in modern Chinese politics? Why has ai . (love)Ā been a crucial political discourseĀ for secular nationalism forĀ generations of political leaders as a powerful instrument to the present day? This book offers the first systematic examination of the ways in which the notion of love has been introduced, adapted, and engineered as a political discourse for the building and rebuilding ofĀ aĀ secularĀ modern nation, all the while appropriating Confucianism, Christianity, popular religion,Ā ghost stories,Ā political religion, and theirĀ religious affects. The insights of this exploration expand not only the discussion of the role of emotions in the project of Chinese modernity, but also the study ofĀ affectiveĀ governanceĀ andĀ religious nationalismsĀ around the world today.
