Across Asia, consumer culture is increasingly shaping everyday
life, with neoliberal economic and social policies increasingly
adopted by governments who see their citizens as individualised,
sovereign consumers with choices about their lifestyles and
identities. One aspect of this development has been the emergence
of new wealthy middle classes with lifestyle aspirations shaped by
national, regional and global media - especially by a range of new
popular lifestyle media, which includes magazines, television and
mobile and social media. This book explores how far everyday
conceptions and experiences of identity are being transformed by
media cultures across the region. It considers a range of different
media in different Asian contexts, contrasting how the shaping of
lifestyles in Asia differs from similar processes in Western
countries, and assessing how the new lifestyle media represents not
just a new emergent media culture, but also illustrates wider
cultural and social changes in the Asian region.
In Dreams of Flight, Fran Martin explores how young Chinese women
negotiate competing pressures on their identity while studying
abroad. On one hand, unmarried middle-class women in the
single-child generations are encouraged to develop themselves as
professional human capital through international education, molding
themselves into independent, cosmopolitan, career-oriented
individuals. On the other, strong neotraditionalist state, social,
and familial pressures of the post-Mao era push them back toward
marriage and family by age thirty. Martin examines these women's
motivations for studying in Australia and traces their embodied and
emotional experiences of urban life, social media worlds, work in
low-skilled and professional jobs, romantic relationships,
religion, Chinese patriotism, and changed self-understanding after
study abroad. Martin illustrates how emerging forms of gender,
class, and mobility fundamentally transform the basis of identity
for a whole generation of Chinese women.

This book convincingly argues that effective culturally responsive
pedagogies require teachers to firstly undertake a critical
deconstruction of Self in relation to and with the Other; and
secondly, to take into account how power affects the
socio-political, cultural and historical contexts in which the
education relation takes place. The contributing authors are from a
range of diaspora, indigenous, and white mainstream communities,
and are united in their desire to challenge the hegemony of
Eurocentric education and to create new educational spaces that are
more socially and environmentally just. In this venture, the ideal
education process is seen to be inherently critical and
intercultural, where mainstream and marginalized, colonized and
colonizer, indigenous and settler communities work together to
decolonize selves, teacher-student relationships, pedagogies, the
curriculum and the education system itself. This book will be of
great interest and relevance to policy-makers and researchers in
the field of education; teacher educators; and pre- and in-service
teachers.
Due to the enduring legacy of the colonial, capitalist project, we
have arguably entered an era of social, cultural, economic, and
environmental collapse. There is a heightened awareness of a range
of global issues including racism and xenophobia, economic and
cultural protectionism, environmental degradation, and climate
change – yet there appears to be a resistance to taking action
that challenges the status quo, maintaining a way of life that
continues to divide the world in unequal and inequitable ways,
including in education. The complicity of westernized education in
contributing to these issues has led calls to decolonize
educational ideologies, structures, and practices. In response, the
authors present a novel way of thinking and a robust foundation for
de/colonizing educational relationships in Higher and Teacher
Education, illustrated by examples of applications to practice. A
hybrid style of writing weaves their own narratives into the text,
drawing on their experiences in a range of educational settings.

Yoga gurus on lifestyle cable channels targeting time-pressured
Indian urbanites; Chinese dating shows promoting competitive
individualism; Taiwanese domestic makeover formats combining feng
shui with life planning advice: Asian TV screens are increasingly
home to a wild proliferation of popular factual programs providing
lifestyle guidance to viewers. In Telemodernities Tania Lewis, Fran
Martin, and Wanning Sun demonstrate how lifestyle-oriented popular
factual television illuminates key aspects of late modernities in
South and East Asia, offering insights not only into early
twenty-first-century media cultures but also into wider
developments in the nature of public and private life, identity,
citizenship, and social engagement. Drawing on extensive interviews
with television industry professionals and audiences across China,
India, Taiwan, and Singapore, Telemodernities uses popular
lifestyle television as a tool to help us understand emergent forms
of identity, sociality, and capitalist modernity in Asia.

This interdisciplinary collection examines the shaping of local
sexual cultures in the Asian Pacific region in order to move beyond
definitions and understandings of sexuality that rely on Western
assumptions. The diverse studies in "AsiaPacifiQueer" demonstrate
convincingly that in the realm of sexualities, globalization
results in creative and cultural admixture rather than a unilateral
imposition of the western values and forms of sexual culture. These
essays range across the Pacific Rim and encompass a variety of
forms of social, cultural, and personal expression, examining
sexuality through music, cinema, the media, shifts in popular
rhetoric, comics and magazines, and historical studies. By
investigating complex processes of localization, interregional
borrowing, and hybridization, the contributors underscore the
mutual transformation of gender and sexuality in both Asian Pacific
and Western cultures.
Contributors are Ronald Baytan, J. Neil C. Garcia, Kam Yip Lo

Lesbian and gay -- or queer -- fiction (known in Mandarin as
tongzhi wenxue) constitutes a major contribution to Taiwanese
literature, as evidenced by the remarkable number of prestigious
literary awards won by many of the authors of the short stories
presented here. Indeed, the meteoric rise of this new genre was a
defining feature of Taiwan's literary scene in the 1990s. Queer
fiction was also instrumental in forming self-identifying
subcultural gay readerships, thus serving a significant political
function. But most strikingly, this fiction has been immensely
popular with general readers in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore,
as well as in diasporic Chinese communities worldwide. The
startlingly fresh, brave voices that speak through these stories
attest to the powerful social ferment of the past ten years in
Taiwan, which have witnessed a revolution in discourses on sex and
sexuality in the public sphere.

Debates about social modernization processes determined the public
discourse of the Weimar Republic. The images of the USA and the
Soviet Union that were produced in German newspapers and magazines,
which were perceived as modernity projects, played a special role.
This is where David Franz's study comes in, comparing conflicting
depictions of both countries in the leading German print media of
the time and embedding them in the social conditions of the
interwar period. In addition to journalistic texts, visual
representations were also examined. The study thus takes into
account both the role of the Soviet Union, which has so far
received little attention, as well as the power of visual
representation in the debates of the Weimar Republic. As a result,
it traces the lines of the interpretive struggles over
modernization processes in society, economy and politics that were
characteristic of the public debate of the Weimar Republic.
