Meanings of Identity of the Post-2000s Inland Tibet Class

  • Summary

  • What identity does the post-2000s Inland Tibet Class (ITC) generation mean? How do Sinophone-Tibetan films articulate the expression of such identity? How does affective visuality mediate the cultural, political, and gender identity formation of female artists of the post-2000s ITC generation? Jinyan Zeng, a researcher at the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies, Lund University, Sweden, introduces her research in this podcast episode of the Nordic Asia Podcast, hosted by Ning Ao, PhD student at the Centre. The episode is produced by Lisa Sihvonen, student intern at the Centre. China has introduced a policy of Inland Tibet Class (ITC) to educate talented Tibetan pupils from Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) in Chinese language boarding schools since 1985. Jinyan Zeng’s recent article Visualising the Post-2000s Inland Tibet Class Generation focuses on the experiences of female artists, filmmakers, and writers of the ITC who were born in the 1990s and early 2000s. Following the experience of the Sinophone-Tibetan filmmaker Kangdrun in a Chinese language education environment, her films, and Tibetan cultural communities, Jinyan Zeng’s research contributes to a fresh understanding of modern Tibetan authors’ generational relationships; the expressive styles of female Sinophone-Tibetan authors. Her gender analysis of the ITC generation critically contributes to Tibetan studies and China studies both theoretically and methodologically. A new volume titled Feminist Activism in the Post-2010s Sinosphere (Bloomsbury Academic), co-edited by Jinyan Zeng with Elisabeth Lund Engebretsen came out in December 2024.
