The examination is contextualized within the profound transformations of the post-reform China and global political structures in the last two decades of the 20th century. Using an innovative analytical framework based on Vladimir Propp, the book focuses on how different images of China are constructed through an effective use of TV narrative strategies. In particular it details how various strands of (Western) modernity underpin major discourses about China. The book will be valuable to the understanding of how China was perceived in the West during one of the most dramatic moments in modern history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChina as an Image: History, Structure and Perspectives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelevision Narrative as Discourse: Poetics of Representation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLegitimate Controversy: China as a Civilisation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Struggle Without Heroes: Representing Republic of China, 1911–1949\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsensus and Deviance: China as the Communist ‘Other ’, 1949–1989\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eRoad to Xanadu\u003c\/i\u003e: A Case Study\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBehind Representation: Discursive Strategies and Relations of Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Researchers and students who are interested to understand how China was perceived in the West during the 1980–2000 period.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143947436272,"sku":"9789814578318","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814578318_p0.jpg?v=1763691670","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814578318","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
