And like most first books it is indebted to many peop le for their guidance, care, and, perhaps not least of all, patience. This book grew out of my gradu ate work in film and media studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I must first thank my dissertation committee. Bhaskar Sarkar gave me a home from the first day and mentored my research with generosity, rigor, and fun! This book could not have been written without his stimulation and friendship. Lisa Parks brought me into the world of media studies; she inspired an interest in experimenta- tion and a penchant for engaging prob lems that mat ter rather than preformed disciplinary questions. Her interventions hover over this manuscript. Michael Berry provided a steady hand, pushing me to dig deeper into Chinese cinema and cultural studies, indulging the strange turns in my project , and provid- ing valuable feedback. Swati Chattopadhyay s haped my thinking about spatial practice and the city. She pushed me to develop postcolonial critiques and, perhaps most of all, precision with conceptual language. The failings here are all mine! Fi nally, Charles Wolfe was a model of academic bigheartedness; his door was always open and he patiently engaged my ideas and anxi eties, re- sponding with wisdom. I must also thank Bishnupriya Ghosh, my spectral committee member, whose zest and dynamic thinking have had a tremendous impact on this research and beyond. Fi nally, I want to thank the entire film and media faculty at ucsb for their support, big and small, especially Peter Bloom, Edward Branigan, Michael Curtin, Anna Everett, Constance Penley, Greg Seigel, Cristina Venegas, and Janet Walker. I was fortunate to be a part of the first cohort of PhD students in film and media at ucsb, and I must also thank my peers. I remember fondly the hours passed with Hye Jean Chung, Chris Dzialo, Regina Longo, Dan Reyn- olds, Jeff Scheible, and Nicole Starosielski, among many others. Our work on the Media Fields conference series and journal remains a bright spot. This book also could not have been written without the support of many students, schol- ars, and filmmakers from my years in Beijing. Thanks especially to Wang Wo and Zhu Rikun for the amazing and difficult work with the Li Xianting Film Fund, to Yang Shu and Wang Wenhuan for their research support, and to JP Sniadecki for our travels and bringing me into the sel community. I am grateful to Yomi Braester, Chris Berry, and others for the stimulating Summer Program in Chinese Film History at the Beijing Film Acad emy, among many other interactions. Finall y, thanks to the many panelists and interlocutors, too many to name here, who have engaged this work over the last ten years, es- pecially Ruoyun Bai, James Cahill, Jenny Chio, Jinying Li, Eng- Beng Lim, Ralph Litzinger, Ramon Lobato, Anna McCarthy, Pang Laikwan, Luke Robinson, and Nishant Shah. This research was also supported by an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Jackman Humanities Institute, University of Toronto. I thank the community of fellows and my colleagues in Cinema Studies and Visual Studies for our rich conversations. At Brown University, I received gen- erous funding from the Pembroke Center and the Seed and Salomon Awards. I am also grateful for the mentorship of my mcm colleagues, especially Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, Lynne Joyrich, and Phil Rosen. I completed this manuscript at Concordia University and want to thank to my colleagues in film studies and across the Montreal community—man y of whom have commented on parts of this manuscript, including Luca Caminati, Michelle Cho, Yuri Furu- hata, Thomas Lamarre, Masha Salazkina, and Marc Steinberg, among others. I also want to thank the Canada Research Chairs Program, the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (sshrc), and the Canada Foundation for Innovation– funded Global Emergent Media Lab for supporting the final stages of writing and editing. Cheers to our gradu ate students, especially Weixian Pan, for their help with the final manuscript. Fi nally, I would like to thank the two anonymous reviewers for their generous engagement, and, at Duke Uni- versity Press, Drew Sisk for the book design, and Courtney Berger at Duke University Press for her wisdom and support over the past few years. Chapters 3 and 4 originated as the articles “Cinematic Encounters in Bei- jing,” Film Quarterly 67, no. 1 (2014): 27–40, and “Beijing en Abyme: Outside Tele vi sion in the Olympic Era,” Social Text 107 29, no. 2 (summer 2011): 21–46. Chapter 5, “Videation: Technological Intimacy and the Politics of Global Connection,” also appears in Asian Video Cultures: In the Penumbra of the Global, edited by Joshua Neves and Bhaskar Sarkar (Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2017). Thanks to the readers and supporters of these early pieces, as well as the many friends and colleagues who have provided critical insights over the last few years. Many friendships and loved ones have also shepherded this proj ect over the past de cade. I remember my dear friend and collaborator Graham Bury. Graham passed away during the writing, and this book is in his memory. I also thank my f amily for all their support, especially as this research has often viii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS sent me far from home. Fi nally, to my dearest Meg Fernandes, who has been a fellow traveler on this proj ect and many other adventures besides. She has not only improved this book with her ideas and passion, but brought joy and beauty into our world these last years. I would not have wanted to do any of it without her wonder and love. I dedicate this book to the memory of Graham Bury; to my mother, Eden; my grand mother, Mary; and to Meg. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ix INTRODUCTION After Legitimacy You have failed, you have done wrong, says the modern orientalist. — EDWARD SAID In July 2007, Beijing tv aired a story about local food stalls that served steamed buns (baozi 包子) filled with fat- soaked cardboard instead of pork. The money- saving tactic caused an uproar in the city’s media and was broadcast nation- wide on China Central Tele vi sion (cctv), leading peop le to speculate about food safety and the everyday flavors of getting ahead in the capital. Shortly after the report aired it was retracted by the station as itself a fake. The journal- ist, Zi Beijia, allegedly staged the story based on hearsay using migr ant workers. He had hoped to the boost the ratings of Degrees of Transparency (Toumingdu 透明度), a program he produced for Beijing tv’s Life Channel. Soon after, Mr. Zi issued a formal apology and was arrested. The fake story about the fake baozi, however, did not go away. The media and passing conversations revealed a rampant belief that the fake buns were in fact real— that is, actually filled with fatty pulp—and that the retraction, apology, and arrest w ere put on by government intervention.1 Unsavory practices that contributed to the negative “made in China” image, it was thought, would not to be tolerated in the Olympic era—a period intrinsically linked to China’s twenty-fir st- century media urbanism. Regardless of the story’s truth,2 the string of fakes, or more precisely un- certainties, underline a host of issues related to media, development, and legitimacy in con temporary China— and globally. In the very same week in July 2007, the former head of China’s State Food and Drug Administration, Zheng Xiaoyu, was executed for accepting bribes to approve substandard and tainted medicine. The proximate months were equally marred by repeated controversies, at home and abroad, over poisonous infant formula, contami- nated toothpaste, intellectual property (ip) violations, performance- enhancing drugs, human rights abuses, artificial rain, images of stubborn “nail houses” (dingzihu 钉子户), campaigns against corruption and pornography, and confu- sion over the high ste roid levels of Beijing’s poultry.

Em seguida, agrega os temas das políticas da internet em três campos de disputas fundamentais: sobre a infra-estrutura da rede; sobre os formatos, padrões e aplicações; e sobre os conteúdos. Analisa os temas políticos atuais mais relevantes de cada campo conflituoso, articulando dois aspectos: o tecno-social e o jurídico-legislativo. Este artigo trabalha com o conceito de arquitetura de poder, uma extensão da definição de Alexander Galloway sobre o gerenciamento protocolar, e com a perspectiva de Yochai Benkler sobre a existência de uma esfera pública interconectada. Sua conclusão indica que a liberdade nas redes cibernéticas depende da existência da navegação não-identificada, ou seja, do anonimato.

  • The International Media Coverage of China: Too Narrow an Agenda?
    Reuters Institute Fellowship Paper University of Oxford The international media coverage of China: Too narrow an agenda? by Daniel Griffiths Michaelmas Term 2013 Sponsor: BBC 1 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors, James Painter and Rana Mitter, for their help and advice with this research. I am also very grateful to the staff at the Reuters Institute and the other Fellows for making my time at Oxford so interesting and enjoyable. Finally, a big thank you goes to my family for all their love and support. 2 Table of Contents Executive Summary 4 1. Introduction 7 2. Literature Review 9 3. Methodology 10 4. Results 12 5. Conclusions and Recommendations 18 Bibliography 20 Appendix: Articles in Content Analysis 21 3 Executive Summary China is an increasingly important player in global affairs but there is very little research on how it is presented in the international media. This matters because even in today's increasingly interconnected world the media can often influence our perceptions of other countries. This study presents a content analysis of news stories about China in the online editions of the New York Times, BBC News, and the Economist over two separate weeks in the autumn of 2013. In total, 129 stories were analysed. Due to the time constraints of a three month fellowship it was not possible to compile a broader data set which might have offered greater insights. So this paper should not be seen as a definitive study. Instead, it is a snapshot intended to open a discussion about representations of China in the global media and pave the way for further research.

  • Hacker Culture & Politics
    HACKER CULTURE & POLITICS COMS 541 (CRN 15368) 1435-1725 Department of Art History and Communication Studies McGill University Professor Gabriella Coleman Fall 2012 Arts W-220/ 14:35-17:25 Professor: Dr. Gabriella Coleman Office: Arts W-110 Office hours: Sign up sheet Tuesday 2:30-3:30 PM Phone: xxx E-mail: [email protected] OVERVIEW This course examines computer hackers to interrogate not only the ethics and technical practices of hacking, but to examine more broadly how hackers and hacking have transformed the politics of computing and the Internet more generally. We will examine how hacker values are realized and constituted by different legal, technical, and ethical activities of computer hacking—for example, free software production, cyberactivism and hactivism, cryptography, and the prankish games of hacker underground. We will pay close attention to how ethical principles are variably represented and thought of by hackers, journalists, and academics and we will use the example of hacking to address various topics on law, order, and politics on the Internet such as: free speech and censorship, privacy, security, surveillance, and intellectual property. We finish with an in-depth look at two sites of hacker and activist action: Wikileaks and Anonymous. LEARNER OBJECTIVES This will allow us to 1) demonstrate familiarity with variants of hacking 2) critically examine the multiple ways hackers draw on and reconfigure dominant ideas of property, freedom, and privacy through their diverse moral 1 codes and technical activities 3) broaden our understanding of politics of the Internet by evaluating the various political effects and ramifications of hacking.

Abstract Intrigue: Murder in the Lucky Holiday Hotel is a podcast that is Agatha Christie meets House of Cards with an Oriental twist. It tells the story of the downfall of Bo Xilai, a once powerful and charismatic politician, who could have eclipsed current President Xi Jingping as a future leader of China if the cards fell his way. Despite the challenges of reporting in China, BBC China Editor Carrie Gracie is able to explain with clarity the tale of money, sex and power than unravelled Bo Xilai. Gracie guides us through her five-part series with clear knowledge of her beat of 25 years. She is upfront about the many restrictions and hardships involved in reporting on an important tale from one of the world’s most repressive superpowers. Despite the seriousness of the subject matter, Gracie is a charismatic, jovial presenter, who delivers the story with zest.

Law* INTRODUCTION In the past half century, our world has experienced a radical change comparable to the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century. At least five elements are key: growing disparity of human opportunity, advance of formal human rights and equality, information transformation, economic globalization, and climate change. My focus is on economic disparity and gender equality in the United States. These two issues, huge in and of themselves, interact with the other cataclysmic changes of our time. I came to law teaching in the early 1970s from civil rights work with poor people.

I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 71012 words. 2 Abstract This thesis aims to investigate the industry restructuration of the Chinese film industry in the context of China integrating into the global neoliberal capitalist system since its WTO entry in 2002. By interrogating the power dynamics between the Party-state, domestic capital and transnational media capital, this thesis explores respective roles each of the three stakeholders have played in shaping the commercialization and marketization of the Chinese film industry. Methodically, this thesis primarily relies on elite interviews with industry professionals, together with critical discourse analysis of one key policy document, and secondary data collected from news outlets, trade publications, industry reports, etc.

The former and future rulers of the city diverge widely in their political, economic, and social systems, and despite the elaborate detail of the relevant treaties providing for the transfer,4 there have been disagreements during the period of transition.
