Performance, Meaning, and Ideology in the Making of Legitimacy: The Celebrations of the People's Republic of China's Sixty-Year Anniversary

摘要


This article analyzes how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) used the 60-year anniversary of the People's Republic of China to construct its legitimacy. We analyze the elaborate celebrations, which involved not only a large-scale military parade, but also a civilian pageant and various cultural products. By adopting a discourse analytical approach, our analysis shows how the celebrations were devised explicitly with a domestic audience in mind, and how they represented an attempt to bridge the various ruptures between contemporary Chinese modernity and the nation's revolutionary past. Even though this attempt was highly pervasive, we nevertheless find that China's propaganda experts could not achieve their goal in full.
