Dislocating contested space: Resource competition, cultural technologies and migrant space in Milan’s Chinatown
This paper explores the need to understand the cultural aspects of the production of space and the use of communications technologies in the Chinatown area of Milan, Italy, centred on Via Paolo Sarpi just to the northeast of the city centre. I argue that although we can understand some aspects of this space and Chinese migrants’ production of it in terms of the history of Chinese, largely Wenzhounese, migration with its associated social and econ…
Body Mass Estimates in Dogs and North American Gray Wolves Using Limb Element Dimensions: Body Mass Estimates in Dogs and Wolves Using Limb Element Dimensions
Body mass is a key biometric that is useful in interpreting many aspects of an animal's life history. For many species, including dogs and wolves, methods for estimating body mass are not well developed. This paper assesses the utility of using limb dimensions to predict body mass in dogs and North American wolves. Regression analyses are utilized here to explore the correlations between limb dimensions and body masses of modern dogs and wolves, …
Racial and Educational Disparities in Mobility Limitation Among Older Women: What Is the Role of Modifiable Risk Factors
These results reiterate the importance of health promotion via MRFs; however, they also illustrate that the effect of MRFs on mobility limitation varies by race and education among older women, which has implications for health professionals interested in functional health interventions. Future recommendations include the development of interventions and health promotion aimed at increasing participation in positive health behaviors that address …

Unimagined China: Media, Technologies and the Fragmentation of National Olympic Audiences
The Beijing Olympics were a global media event that marked China's arrival on international political and economic stages. The Chinese authorities made great efforts, and with much success, to present to the world the face of a strong, competent, efficient, welcoming and unified China. Political dissent was suppressed, although not eliminated, Beijing residents and taxi drivers were issued with guidelines of acceptable behaviour and dress, and br…
Privatizing China: Socialism From Afar. Li Zhang , Aihwa Ong
Media, the Olympics and the Search for the “Real China
The Beijing Olympics were about more than just sporting competition. They were about China and its role on the international stage. The Games were explicitly recognized for their role showcasing China's economic, technological, cultural, social and environmental achievements to the rest of the world. The Beijing Games were therefore inevitably going to lead to a process of contestation between competing representations, understandings and identif…
Pop Culture China: Media, Arts, and Lifestyle
This exciting title in ABC-CLIO's Popular Culture in the Contemporary World series offers the nonspecialist reader the only up-to-date introduction to all facets of popular culture in China. China's release from Maoist austerity has produced an explosion in popular culture
Rethinking Chinese consumption
The emergence of a wide range of consumer practices alongside the development of markets and capitalism ‘with Chinese characteristics’ has been one of the most evident markers distinguishing China’s post-Mao social landscape from the one that preceded it. The burgeoning literature on post-Mao China has also paid great attention to China’s so-called ‘consumer revolution’ (Davis 2000b; Chao and Myers 1998; Li Conghua 1998; and cf. Latham (forthcomi…
Consuming Fantasies: Mediated Stardom in Hong Kong Cantonese Opera and Cinema
Ackbar Abbas (1994, 1996) has argued that Hong Kong is a city of disappearance. The city, he suggests, has become embroiled in a double movement relating its identities and representations. On one hand, it has come to be known principally in terms of the cliches, whether of colonial territory, of East-West hybrid, or of rampant capitalism and economic success to which it seems to succumb so willingly, while on the other hand, particularly with th…
