This ground-breaking interdisciplinary research provides an account of the ways in which local-language media have become a platform for the articulation of multivocal, complex, and marginal identities in post-socialist China. Viewed from the uniquely revealing perspective of local languages, the mediascape of China is no longer reducible to a unified, homogeneous, and coherent national culture, and thus renders any monolithic account of the Chinese language, Chineseness, and China impossible.China studies (Leiden, Netherlands) ;v. 25.Mass media and languageChinaLocal mass mediaChinaMass media and minoritiesChinaCommunication and cultureChinaChinese languageDialectsChinaLanguagesMass media and languageLocal mass mediaMass media and minoritiesCommunication and cultureChinese languageDialects.302.23/0951Liu Jin1974 August-767092MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790408803321Signifying the local1561536UNINA
