Transcending Collectivist Culture
With the prevalence of the 'rise of China' discourse that has centred on China's rapidly developing economy following the success of its open-door economic reform, the country's sporting industry has also grown substantially. With Chinese athletes' many recent achievements in international competitions, as well as China's showcasing of synchronised mass spectacles, notably in the 2008 Summer and 2022 Winter Beijing Olympics, Chinese athletes are …
Us vs Them
Current racial discourses surrounding Chinese athletes signify that they not only lack the physical tools to succeed but also are socialized with cultural values that demonstrate their perceived negativity and resistance towards sport and physical culture. However, in today's society where increasing Chinese athletes are commended for their triumphs and excellence in international sporting arenas, such a racialized understanding demonstrates a mi…
Pluralising China as method
To not only celebrate the launch of this double special issue, but also to shine a spotlight on the variety of China as Method epistemological approaches shared by the special issue’s editors and authors, the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Hong Kong Institute of Asia Pacific Studies, the University of Amsterdam’s Media Studies Department, and Global Media and China, co-organised a hybrid symposium to generate intellectual exchanges on such a d…
Pluralising China as Method
The changing global landscape of imperialism, colonialism, and globalisation has urged scholars to reflect on and reexamine the lingering Eurocentric epistemology in media and cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, area studies, and other disciplines. The epistemological biases which currently exist in these academic disciplines hinder the development of a bottom-up theorisation and a thorough understanding of social and cultural phenomena. R…
Multiplicity, diversity and individualization behind shuttlecock play
With sport becoming increasingly mediatized in the global arena that further criss-crosses with the promotion of globalization and Western discourses surrounding manhood and identities, there has been, in contemporary China, a rise of alternate theorizations of masculinities that deviate from hegemonic masculine practices surrounding ‘wen’ (文) and ‘wu’ (武) as well as Maoist ideologies. While such accounts, focusing on demonstrating individuality …
Fromshanzhaichic to Gangnam style
This paper examines the social construction of ‘fashionability’ – namely, what is ‘desirable’ and ‘fashionable’ – with reference to the concept ‘cultural mediators’ that foregrounds agency, negotiation and the contested practices of market actors in cultural production. It zeroes in on the cultural mediators’ attitudes and positions in the two markets by drawing on 25 in-depth interviews with industry veterans. It shows that the mediators in Sout…
Reconceptualising prosumption beyond the ‘cultural turn’
While the processes of production and consumption are increasingly interrelated in society, there is a bourgeoning literature on consumers’ increased power through the prosumption process and its evolutions and manifestations in various industries, markets and social contexts. This article challenges the theoretical assumption that all types of ‘prosumers’ become directly empowered by digital technology or have an equal opportunity to participate…
