摘要

This dissertation examines the struggle to salvage socialist ideals of humanity and justice from the rubble of China's Cultural Revolution. The dramatic trial of top Maoist leaders (the "Gang of Four") in the winter of 1980-1981 symbolized a striking historical transition, from violent radicalism to a reformed and revitalized socialism. This new ideology would be focused on modernization, guided by scientific principles, and ordered by the rule of law. The Gang of Four trial is an important example of post-conflict transitional justice, but in a uniquely Chinese, socialist context.;This trial wrought transitional justice by appropriating culturally-established, Chinese concepts of justice and reformulating them into socialist terms. Specifically, the trial promised to "settle accounts" with the Cultural Revolution in three ways: by delivering legal retribution to wrongdoers (expressed as suan zhang), by providing closure on the collective trauma of the past (ping minfen), and by documenting a comprehensive interpretation of history (zhengyi). However, this legal project to narrate the post-Cultural Revolution transition had important limitations.;A sustained comparison with key literary works reveals themes absent from or repressed by the legal narrative. Liu Binyan's reportage piece "Between Man and Monsters" provided an alternative indictment, arguing that the illegality of the Cultural Revolution was rooted in its inhumanity, a problem that could only be addressed by the active engagement of individuals outside the state structure. In contrast with the objective fact-finding of the court, Dai Houying's novel Man Ah, Man! used literary testimony to illustrate the necessity of subjective human emotion in history. And unlike the trial's sweeping verdict, Yang Jiang's memoir Six Records of a Cadre School showed the danger and futility of grand interpretations.;This study is not only the first history of China's most famous legal trial, it is also a fundamental reinterpretation of law and justice in China's little-studied post-Mao transition. Thus my research links the long history of Chinese justice with major themes of global contemporary history: the trauma of mass violence, skepticism of political modernism as a blueprint for rebuilding, and the search for new ways of knowing and speaking about the past.
