New information technologies have, to an unprecedented degree, come
to reshape human relations, identities and communities both online
and offline. 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.
