In Visual Political Communication in Popular Chinese Television Series , Florian Schneider analyses political discourses in Chinese TV dramas, the most popular entertainment format in China today. Schneider shows that despite their often nationalistic stories of glorious emperors and courageous officials, such programmes should not be mistaken for official propaganda. Instead, the highly didactical messages of such series are the outcome of complex cultural governance practices, which are influenced by diffuse political interests, commercial considerations, viewing habits, and ideological assumptions. Schneider argues that these interlinking factors lead to a highly restrictive creative environment and to conservative entertainment content that ultimately risks creating precisely the kind of passive masses that Chinese media workers and government officials are trying so hard to emancipate.China Studies22.Television programsChinaTelevision and politicsChinaTelevision broadcasting policyChinaTelevision programsTelevision and politicsTelevision broadcasting policy384.55/320951Schneider Florian714138Dudbridge Glen646371Pieke Frank N280600MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785759103321Visual political communication in popular Chinese television series3726235UNINA
