Representing the victorious past: Chinese revolutionary TV drama between propaganda and marketization
This paper examines the changes and continuities in TV representations of Chinese Communist Party’s revolutionary history and interprets them within the broader context of China’s political, economic and cultural transformations since the 1990s. Drawing on a comparative analysis of three state-sponsored TV dramas produced between the late 1990s and mid-2010s, it traces how the state-sanctioned revolutionary narratives have changed over time in re…
Christopher A. Daily. Robert Morrison and the Protestant Plan for China
If there is one date indelibly ingrained in the historiography of Protestant Christianity in China, it is the year 1807, when, with the arrival of Robert Morrison, the missionary activity of Protestants in the Qing Empire began. It is that date, along with the pioneering enterprise of Morrison, that Christopher A. Daily seeks to place into a wider perspective in his illuminating study. His intention is not to belittle Morrison's achievements, alt…

Globalization and the Making of Religious Modernity in China, co-edited by Thomas Jansen, Thoralf Klein and Christian Meyer, investigates the transformation of China’s religious landscape under the impact of global influences since 1800.

Media Events and Missionary Periodicals: The Case of the Boxer War, 1900-1901
Missionary periodicals, like their secular counterparts (newspapers and magazines), had the potential to create and sustain media events-those rare and precious times when news coverage breaks out of the confines of its daily routines, allowing contemporaneous themes to surface and occupy center stage. However, mission publications had their specific ways of presenting these issues, which are cast most sharply into relief when the underlying occu…
Beyond the market: Exploring the religious field in modern China
This introduction discusses in general terms the applicability of the religious-economy (or market) model to the religious field in China and summarises the discussions in this special issue. This model has been adopted as a tool with which to grasp theoretically the complexities of said field; however, its application to Chinese religion(s) has taken place without an in-depth discussion of its analytical value to this subject matter. Contributio…
Conversion to Protestant Christianity in China and the 'supply-side model: Explaining changes in the Chinese religious field
In this article, I put the ‘supply-side model’ advocated by religious economists to an empirical test. The ‘supply-side’ model in some measure already constitutes a move ‘beyond the market’, as it seeks to expand and enlarge the economic interpretation of religion by linking it to a concept of networks and social tensions and integrating the concept of religious and cultural capital. In applying the model to the (dynamics of the) historical growt…
