As Internet narratives including online fiction, poetry and films reflect and represent ambivalent politics in China, the Chinese state wishes to enable the formidable soft power of this new medium whilst at the same time handling the ideological uncertainties it inevitably entails.This book investigates the ways in which class, gender, ethnicity and ethics are reconfigured, complicated and enriched by the closely intertwined online and offline realities in China. It combs through a wide range of theories on Internet culture, intellectual history, and literary, film, and cultural studies, and explores a variety of online cultural materials, including digitized spoofing, microblog fictions, micro-films, online fictions, web dramas, photographs, flash mobs, popular literature and films. These materials have played an important role in shaping the contemporary cultural scene, but have so far received little critical attention. Here, the authors demonstrate how Chinese Internet culture has provided a means to intervene in the otherwise monolithic narratives of identity and community.Offering an important contribution to the rapidly growing field of Internet studies, this book will also be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese culture, literary and film studies, media and communication studies, and Chinese society. 410 0$aRoutledge contemporary China series ;$v163. 606 $aInternet$xSocial aspects$zChina 606 $aMass media and culture$zChina 606 $aMass media$xSocial aspects$zChina 606 $aPopular culture$zChina 607 $aChina$xCivilization$y2002- 615 0$aInternet$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMass media and culture 615 0$aMass media$xSocial aspects 615 0$aPopular culture 676 $a302.23/10951 676 $a303.48340951 700 $aGong$b Haomin.$0993259 701 $aYang$b Xin$f1972-$0993260 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910165042403321 996 $aReconfiguring class, gender, ethnicity and ethics in Chinese internet culture$92274325 997 $aUNINA
