Cultural Governance in Contemporary China: Popular Culture, Digital Technology, and the State
! ! ! ! CULTURAL GOVERNANCE IN CONTEMPORARY CHINA: POPULAR CULTURE, DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY, AND THE STATE BY LUZHOU LI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications and Media in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus John Nerone, Chair Assistant Professor Amanda Ciafone Professor Emeritus Dan Schiller Professor Kent Ono, University of Utah ii ABSTRACT This dissertation is a study of the historical formation and transformation of the Chinese online audiovisual industry under forces of strategic political calculations, expanding market relations, and growing social participation, and the cultural ramifications of this process, especially the kind of transformations digital technologies have wrought on the state-TV-station-centered mode of cultural production/distribution and regulatory apparatuses. Through this case, the project aims to theorize the changing mode of cultural governance of post-socialist regimes in the context of digital capitalism. Using mixed methods of documentary research, interviews with industry practitioners, participant observations of trade fairs/festivals, and critical discourse analyses of popular cultural texts, the study finds that the traditional broadcasting and the online video sectors are structured along two different political economic mechanisms. While the former is dominated by domestic capital and heavily regulated by state agencies, the latter is supported by transnational capital and less regulated. Digital technologies coupled with transnational capital thus generate new cultural flows, processes, and practices, which produces a heterogeneous and contested cultural sphere in the digital environment that substantially differs from the one created by traditional television. -

Based on primary sources and interviews conducted by the author, it identifies the factors that, at different times, led Chinese scrap dealers and recyclers to extend the scope of their professional activity beyond the borders of their home country. Drawing on recent scholarship in discard studies, the author argues that it is necessary to move beyond the environmental dumping narrative in order to better understand Chinese national policy and its implications. This narrative serves as the main official justification for the bans on imports of recyclable waste that the central government adopted in recent years. However, there is good reason to believe that, by adopting a highly restrictive stance on the international waste trade, the central government sought first and foremost to bolster the municipal solid waste management sector within China. -

PHOTOFAIRS Shanghahi 2021 L Public Programme
Press Release 24 June 2021 PHOTOFAIRS Shanghai 2021 24 - 26 September Photofairs.org PHOTOFAIRS Shanghai announces today new details of its upcoming 7th edition including the winner of the Exposure Award and the theme and participating artists in this year’s Insights section. PHOTOFAIRS is Asia Pacific’s leading destination for discovering and collecting photo-based works. Returning to the Shanghai Exhibition Center this September, the fair focuses on the future of photographic practices through a curated programme which champions local talents and new voices in photography. Exposure Award Launched in 2019 the Award provides a complimentary exhibition platform to any gallery with a solo presentation of experimental work by an artist pushing the boundaries of photography. This year’s recipient of the Exposure Award powered by MODERN EYE is Cao Shu (Hive Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing) for his work Roam Simulator. Set up as a video game, this interactive installation takes audiences on a journey through a desert town to explore a person’s life, personal history and memory. Photographs from an old family album are scattered in the space as guiding clues with players able to generate their own photographs along the way using the game’s ‘Recall’ button. Through this action Shu aims to examine and question technology’s role in shaping our sense of self, time and place. Commenting about the work Cao Dan, President of MODERN ART and a member of the Exposure Award judging panel says: “Cao Shu uses new media technology and games as a medium to explore people's living conditions, history and memory, emotions and dreams. -

The Case of Tudou.Com
The platform of spoof videos: The case of Tudou.com Henry Siling Li Deputy Director, Centre for International Courses and Programs; China Executive Leadership Academy Pudong (CELAP) Shanghai, China Abstract This paper analyses the enabling and constraining role of platforms in the development of online video-spoofing culture in China. Using Tudou.com, one of China’s most popular video-sharing sites, as a case study, the paper discusses how video-sharing sites facilitate and curtail the self, and how they negotiate and balance among users, clients and the state, teasing out the complex politics of platforms in China. Particular reference is made to three “star users”, Jiaoshou, Hu Ge and Corndog, who gained fame for themselves via the popularity of their spoof videos on this platform. Keywords: Platform, Tudou.com, Self, Curator, Censor, Mainstreaming The Chinese Internet companies have gleaned a lesson from this: entertainment trumps politics on the Web in China. David Barboza (2010) 1. Introduction As with other forms of participative culture, spoofing practices are subject to the regulative regimes of both the market and the state, and operate within a ―dual economy of freedom and constraint‖(Foucault, cited in Chouliaraki, 2010, p. 227). Spoofing culture offers an excellent case study not only for ―the tension between the state and capital in the cultural realm‖(Mayfair Yang, cited in Zhou, Chuang, Constable, Guo, & et al., 2005, p. 791), but also for the complicated relationship between Internet users and service providers. Capital challenges state regulations and empowers users by providing alternative channels for self- Journal of Cultural Science 1 Vol 5, No 2(2012): New work in the cultural sciences 3 http://cultural-science.org/journal 153 performance and political expression, and at the same time regulates these channels for the best of its own interest, at times colluding with the state to make online practices and expressions less risky and more acceptable to the state. -
