Textul de pe ultima copertă

“Theoretically engaged and empirically rich, this volume takes an innovative approach to enhance our understanding of China through the study of Dongbei, China’s North-East region. One of the first of its kind, this volume with multi-disciplinary perspectives sheds much light onto the development of China since its reform in late 1970s.”                                     
 –   Dr Xiaoling Zhang, Professor in Media and Communication, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University.
“Combining rich media studies with engaged, humanistic ethnographies, this edited volume remarkably highlights the much-neglected, yet historically and socio-politically significant, region of Dongbei - North-East China, skillfully unraveling Dongbei’s historical, social, and cultural transformations as well as diversities in identities, space, and everyday life. Interdisciplinary, inter-textual, and ambitious in scope, this volume makes a major contribution to the literature by accentuating the uniqueness and distinctiveness of Dongbei, from its soccer sport to its neo-Dongbei literature, from its stereotypes and myth to the lived existence of individuals.”
