Searching for a Chinese worker-subject
Factory girl, Suzhou. Photo © Chad Ingraham , Flickr. The People's Republic of China manufactures products for the whole world and the spectacular growth of the Chinese economy is wellknown. Who produces the many products that we purchase in this part of the world? Whose economic development is it and what is the current situation of workers in China? Anthropologist Pun Ngai has studied the construction of a new reform-era worker subject in China's many factories and dormitories. Pun Ngai is now visiting Scandinavia and is giving guest lectures in Lund, Copenhagen, Oslo and Trondheim 16-19 March. More information on the seminars can be found here
