Memories of authoritarian China' DESCRIPTION:On Monday 5 October\, the Netherlands-China Association (VNC)\, in collaboration with Leiden Asia Centre (LAC)\, is organising a book presentation with journalist and China expert Garrie van Pinxteren. \nOn the occasion of the publication of her new book ‘Control and delete. Memories of authoritarian China’ \, Van Pinxteren talks to LAC director Floris Harm about her many years of experience with China and about the far-reaching changes the country has undergone in recent decades. \nAs a student\, Van Pinxteren experienced the first phase of China’s opening in 1982. After Mao Zedong’s death\, there was room for reforms\, economic growth and remarkable social dynamics. More than forty years later\, in 2025\, she will leave China again as a correspondent. In the meantime\, the country has changed dramatically and Xi Jinping has further concentrated power. The space for dissenting opinions and memories has greatly decreased. \nIn ‘Control and delete’ \, Van Pinxteren investigates what this development means for daily life. Who decides what people are allowed to remember? What happens when the state tries to determine what should be forgotten? And how does a society change when political control penetrates more and more into personal life? \nDetails \nWhen: Monday 5 October\, 19:30 – 21:00\nWhere: Wijnhaven 3.46\, Turfmarkt 99\, 2511 DP The Hague \nProgramme \n19:00–19:30 — Walk-in\n19:30–19:40 — Introduction VNC chair Monique Knapen\n19:40–20:15 — Book presentation: Garrie van Pinxteren in conversation with LAC Director Floris Harm\n20:15–20:55 — Q&A (moderator Floris Harm)\n20:55-21:00 — Closing: Monique Knapen\, chair VNC \nAbout the speaker \nPhoto: Merlijn DoomernikAll rights reserved\nGarrie van Pinxteren is a journalist and sinologist.
