  • 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.

  • Intercultural Paper
    Intercultural Communications Studies X:2, 2000 I. Weber Shanghai Youth’s Strategic Mobilization of Individualistic Values: Constructing Cultural Identity in the Age of Spiritual Civilization Ian G. Weber Queensland University of Technology Abstract This paper examines Shanghai youth response to the Chinese Government’s packaged ideal culture made available through the spiritual civilization program and broadcast on television. It focuses on how ‘upwardly mobile’ Chinese youth negotiate the discourses of collectivism and individualism through their interpretation of key television programming. The popular Chinese drama series ‘Beijingers in New York’, which incorporates both discourses, is used to reveal how these youth have woven individualistic values into their cultural identities and which manifest within their daily lives. The study found that these youth are strategic users of television. They absorb and mobilize individualistic values of ambition and progress, change, wealth, and materialism within a framework of collectivist values of filial piety, responsibility, harmony, and sacrifice for pragmatic purposes relating to personal, business, educational, and social goals. Introduction Life for young urban Chinese has changed dramatically from previous generations. They face different challenges, embrace different dreams, and pursue different opportunities than their parents. Such differences are associated with China’s move towards a freer market economy that encourages Chinese youth to follow Deng Xiaoping’s edict that ‘to get rich is glorious’. An important aspect of this freer society is youth exposure to a wider range of cultural experiences through television viewing. A television survey of 285 Shanghai youth aged between 15 and 35 years1 revealed the top 10 mentioned programming2 among this group were foreign films (46%), domestic news (43.5%), foreign and domestic sport (both 38.5%), foreign music (34.5%), foreign news (32.5%), travel (31%), Chinese comedy (25%), culture (24%), and soap opera (23%).
