This unique book investigates the tug-of-war between the free
market economy and authoritative state regulation in Chinese
culture after 1989. Contextualizing close textual readings of
cinematic and television texts, both officially sanctioned and
independently made, Wing Shan Ho illuminates the complex process in
which cultural producers and consumers negotiate with both the
state and the market in articulating new forms of subjectivity. Ho
examines the types of Chinese subjects that the state applauds and
aggrandizes in contrast to those that it condemns and attempts to
eliminate. Her focus on the socialist spirit exposes inherent
contradictions in the current Chinese project of nation-building.
This comparative study shines a harsh light on these cultural
products and on much more: the confluence between commerce and
politics and popular culture, the interaction between state and
individuals in popular culture, and the complexity of
governmentality in an era of globalization.
