DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to welcome Vivien Markert\, Frederik Schmitz an
 d Dr. Maximilian Mayer to present and discuss their book “The Digitalisa
 tion of Memory Practices in China: Contesting the Curating State.” (2025
 ).\nBuilding on their pioneering volume\, this session delves into how rap
 idly evolving digital technologies are reshaping the politics of memory in
  contemporary China. Building on the book’s concept of the “curating s
 tate\,” the discussion examines how digitalisation empowers non-state ac
 tors to preserve alternative narratives and challenge official histories w
 hile simultaneously equipping the Party-state with new tools to reinforce 
 and control memory discourses. The discussion reflects on this paradoxical
  terrain and examines technology\, power\, and memory curation in China’
 s evolving sociotechnical landscape\, where the past is reimagined\, conte
 sted and censored.
