 n and nostalgia in contemporary China.\n\n"Amidst the sweeping social tr
 ansformations\, a nostalgia market has emerged in contemporary China\, e
 voking a yearning for the past\, particularly the Mao era. Why does this
  nostalgiaemerge? What does it mean to people of different generations?

  past? Based on interviews and participant observation\, this research e
 xplores the relationship between consumption\, nostalgia\, and amnesia i
 n the context of reform-era China."\n\nABOUT THE ORGANISERS\nThe Manches
