The Chinese internet is driving change across all facets of
social life, and scholars have grown mindful that online and
offline spaces have become interdependent and inseparable
dimensions of social, political, economic, and cultural activity.
This book showcases the richness and diversity of Chinese
cyberspaces, conceptualizing online and offline China as separate
but inter-connected spaces in which a wide array of people and
groups act and interact under the gaze of a seemingly monolithic
authoritarian state. The cyberspaces comprising "online China" are
understood as spaces for interaction and negotiation that influence
"offline China." The book argues that these spaces allow their
users greater "freedoms" despite ubiquitous control and
surveillance by the state authorities. The book is a sequel to the
editors earlier work, "Online Society in China: Creating,
Celebrating and Instrumentalising the Online Carnival "(Routledge,
2011)."
