About this ebook:
(From Perry Link's review of Doing Things with Words in Chinese Politics) These five pioneering essays show how control of public language supports state power in the PRC. Schoenhals explains how state rulers prescribe tifa ("formulations") that are circulated to Party propaganda offices and are aimed at dominating public understanding of issues. Tifa include such things as who is a "spy," who a "traitor" and who an "arch-unrepentant capitalist-roader," as well as who is to be named by name and who by label variously at central, provincial and local levels. In 1983 a big debate in Beijing produced authoritative nation-wide instructions that the slogan "achieve wealth through labour" really must be "achieve wealth through diligence." Schoenhals shows how control of connotation could itself become a political prize: in 1967, Lin Biao attempted a power grab through a presentation of false modesty, only to have Zhou Enlai undermine him with a counter-manipulation of language; in 1980, master word-man Hu Qiaomu declared that one of the earlier tifa of his arch-rival Kang Sheng had been, simply in its formulation, "a crime." Schoenhals further shows how correctness of tifa replaces truth as the standard for whether something should be said. A Deng-era document explains that it is correct to put contemporary phrases anachronistically into the mouths of Mao-era characters and to eradicate all signs that one has done so because this "raises the accuracy of the texts with respect to their meaning."
