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).
