The focus lies on the ways in which emotions are appropriated and disciplined by regimes of power and identity, and the ways in which affect - in this case primarily kuqing (bitter emotions) communicated by the material and the body - have the potential to challenge or exceed existing relations of power in the mediascape. Wei Dong shows how Chinese reality TV provides a historical and theoretical opportunity for understanding the affective structures of contemporary China in the dynamic process of fracture and integration. 410 0$aCritical Studies in Media and Communication Series 517 $aCultural Politics of Affect and Emotion 606 $aReality television programs 610 $aAffect 610 $aEmotion 610 $aChina 610 $aReality TV 610 $aPopular Culture 610 $aTelevision 610 $aSociety 610 $aCulture 610 $aSociology of Media 610 $aMedia Studies 615 0$aReality television programs. 676 $a791.456 700 $aDong$b Wei$01266592 712 02$aBMBF Fördervorhaben 16TOA002$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910591169203321 996 $aThe cultural politics of affect and emotion$92975019 997 $aUNINA
