Beschreibung
The articles in this volume look at various cultural activities in
“Postmodern China”, providing new and rarely discussed insights into
different spaces of “postmodernism in action”. The volume highlights
postmodernity as a condition of China’s reality and everyday life after
her entry into the global capitalist system. Three fields of research are
addressed: first, the broad area of popular music, including performance,
advertising and performance venues. Second, postmodernity and literature,
ranging from novels to poetry, from “traditional” novels to anonymous
internet postings, and, third, postmodern aspects related to film and the
internet, focusing on transnational issues between Taiwan, Hong Kong and
the PRC.
