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. 410 0$aChina Studies$v22. 606 $aTelevision programs$zChina 606 $aTelevision and politics$zChina 606 $aTelevision broadcasting policy$zChina 615 0$aTelevision programs 615 0$aTelevision and politics 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting policy 676 $a384.55/320951 700 $aSchneider$b Florian$0714138 701 $aDudbridge$b Glen$0646371 701 $aPieke$b Frank N$0280600 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820464903321 996 $aVisual political communication in popular Chinese television series$94120206 997 $aUNINA
