The Oxford Handbook of Chinese Digital Media, Gebunden

Klappentext

With forty-four original articles by contributors from Asia, Europe, and North America and working in a variety of different disciplines, the Oxford Handbook of Chinese Digital Media offers the most comprehensive exploration to-date of the burgeoning field of Chinese digital media. Each chapter uses cutting-edge research to illustrate a different concept, principle, or methodology relevant to this interdisciplinary field, and collectively the chapters showcase some of the field's most exciting work while at the same time looking ahead to new directions the field may take in the future. While many of the chapters focus on phenomena related to mainland China, several look beyond mainland China to consider phenomena linked to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the global Chinese diaspora. Topics include digital photography, internet literature, digital games, and social media, as well digital videos, documentaries, animation, and feature films. Themes include internet censorship, internet activism, digital ethnography, and piracy. Even as it attends carefully to many of the regional, national, linguistic, and cultural specificities of different digital formations associated with the Chinese nation, the Chinese language, Chinese culture, or technologies associated with Chinese corporations, the Handbook also offers a roadmap for how one might approach the broader category of digital media itself.
