By focusing on historical archives from students\, elites\, and s tate institutions\, I argued that student radicalization inadvertently str engthens the hard-liner elites\, facilitating the eventual repression. How ever\, radical repertoire and actions are political and cultural meaning-m aking processes that situate between economic modernization and authoritar ian consolidation of Chinese society. The overall project seeks to explore conceptual and empirical frameworks that historize social changes after t he revolutionary episodes in the 1960s and 1970s.\n\nLight refreshments se rved.\n DTSTART:20241106T200000Z DTEND:20241106T220000Z LOCATION:116\, Peterson Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0E6\, 3460 rue McTa vish SUMMARY:IOWC Speaker Series - Zitian Sun\, 'Pitfalls of Popularity: The Rad icalization Dynamics of the 1989 Tiananmen Student Movement' URL:/history/channels/event/iowc-speaker-series-zitian -sun-pitfalls-popularity-radicalization-dynamics-1989-tiananmen-student-36 0361 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
