Screening post-1989 China : critical analysis of Chinese film and television
Wing Shan Ho (Author)
This unique book investigates the tug-of-war between the free market economy and authoritative state regulation in Chinese culture after 1989. The focus on the socialist spirit exposes inherent contradictions in the current Chinese project of nation-building. This comparative study shines a harsh light on these cultural products and on much more: the confluence between commerce and politics and popular culture, the interaction between state and individuals in popular culture, and the complexity of governmentality in an era of globalization
