Many varying factors contribute to the dynamics of Chinese
communication, which both resembles and differs from its Western
counterparts. In this provocative new collection of essays, an
international group of scholars challenges the conventional notion
of Chinese culture as static, recognizing the causes of cultural
change and strategies of resistance. Examining communication
contexts in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, "Chinese
Communication Studies: Context and ComparisonS" considers the
relationship between culture and communication in Chinese
political, gender, family, and media contexts, providing the reader
with insight both into how enduring Chinese cultural values are,
and how they are being appropriated to meet political and economic
goals.
Moreover, comparisons and distinctions are made between Chinese
and Western communication concepts and practices on the issues of
human rights, world opinions, pedagogical approaches, and
instruction of rhetoric. In a work sure to be of value to many
disciplines, the authors trace the historical development of ideas
and value systems of both cultures, rendering an understanding of
similarities and differences in both communication and cultural
mindsets.
