Contemporary Urban Youth Culture in China

Meer over het boek

Focusing on three Internet subcultural artifacts, Jing Sun analyzes contemporary urban youth culture in China through a multiperspectival lens. Using critical theory and media literacy, the book examines themes of resistance, power relations, and consumerism. It highlights how alternative media allows youth to express frustrations and challenge social inequalities, while promoting cultural diversity. Sun advocates for critical media literacy as essential for youth to become change agents, urging further research to deepen understanding of their complex cultural dynamics in a multicultural world.
