This book advances research about China by providing an updated
narrative of its entertainment life in the beginning of China's
twenty-first century. As the rest of the world continues to pay
keen attention to developments in China's politics, economy, and
culture, the book provides insights on fascinating new developments
in contemporary Chinese popular culture-including its reality
television, family dramas centered around younger generations' life
struggles, and social media. Furthermore, Entertainment and
Politics in Contemporary China is the first book to apply the
theoretical innovation of an aesthetic public sphere in examining
closely the linkages between China's political life and activities
in the country's culture sphere. Since concepts of public sphere
and democracy largely took root from the West, Wu argues that this
case study of China promises valuable insights about
entertainment's role in the formation of citizenship and building
of a civil society, which remains a site of great contention in
Western theories and empirical efforts.
