    During the thirteenth century, the Mongols created the greatest empire in human history. Genghis Khan and his successors brought death and destruction to Eurasia. They obliterated infrastructure, devastated cities, and exterminated peoples. They also created courts in China, Persia, and southern Russia, famed throughout the world as centers of wealth, learning, power, religion, and lavish spectacle. The great Mongol houses established standards by which future rulers in Eurasia would measure themselves for centuries. In this ambitious study, David M. Robinson traces how in the late fourteenth century the newly established Ming dynasty (1368-1644) in China crafted a narrative of the fallen Mongol empire. To shape the perceptions and actions of audiences at home and abroad, the Ming court tailored its narrative of the Mongols to prove that it was the rightful successor to the Mongol empire. This is a story of how politicians exploit historical memory for their own gain

    Im chinesischen Altertum (ca. 1200-221 v. Chr.) gab es eine ausgeprägte Kultur der politischen Kritik. Insbesondere die Remonstration (chin. jian ) war bereits damals eine etablierte Praxis, mithilfe derer Minister Einspruch gegen die Regierungsführung ihrer Fürsten erhoben. Antikchinesische Anekdotensammlungen wie das Guoyu (Gespräche aus den Ländern) versprechen dem Anschein nach einen authentischen Einblick in diese Praxis der Herrscherkritik. Doch inwiefern handelt es sich bei den überlieferten Erzählungen um historisch glaubwürdige, faktengetreue Darstellungen der Vergangenheit? Kann den im Guoyu überlieferten Erzählungen über Remonstrationen uneingeschränkt Glauben geschenkt werden? Dieser Frage geht Felix Bohlen in seiner Studie nach. Dazu greift er auf die moderne Erzähltheorie zurück, um die literarische Darstellung der Remonstration im Guoyu zu untersuchen und ihre Konstruiertheit herauszustellen. Seine Studie leistet damit nicht nur einen Beitrag zum Verständnis von Herrscherkritik im frühen China, sondern führt zu einer Neubestimmung des Quellenwertes antikchinesischer Erzählungen.-
