Thesis (Ph.D.)--York University (Canada), 1996.

This dissertation comprises a project about cultural transformation in contemporary China, and the transformation of Chinese cultural identity in the context of globalization. It is an interdisciplinary analysis which rests on the more general theorization of a globalization process in communication studies, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies, while granting attention to scholarship produced by Chinese/Asian Studies in North America.

520 $a This dissertation comprises a project about cultural transformation in contemporary China, and the transformation of Chinese cultural identity in the context of globalization. It is an interdisciplinary analysis which rests on the more general theorization of a globalization process in communication studies, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies, while granting attention to scholarship produced by Chinese/Asian Studies in North America.
520 $a An emphasis on globalization invariably de-centers conventional dichotomies such as the West/East, and allows for the examination of inter and intra-cultural interactions as well as the complex processes of global/local encounters. However, I argue that the Sino-West axis remains essential in my understanding of China's current stage of modernization. Since China's disastrous encounter with the West in the late 19th century, modernization has been at the centre of its project of national salvation and nation building. "Turning West" is the underlying structure that yields the "schizophrenia" and the predicaments that characterize the Chinese psyche, national development strategies, and cultural imagination. An analysis of the sociocultural transformation in post-Mao China must take into account historical continuities.
520 $a In addition to a general survey of discourses of culture and globalization, this project is primarily devoted to the investigation of three specific arenas in post-Mao China: (1) the transformation of (mass-mediated) cultural production and the rise of a televisual commercial culture; (2) the radical cultural discourses in the 1980s largely built upon cultural borrowing from the West; and (3) the intricate relationship between modernization and Chinese women, specifically, the construction of the category of "modern women" by both conventional and modern forms of patriarchy. Finally, I turn to the Chinese diaspora in Canada and explore Chinese-Canadian cultural practices, in order to give a broader sense of how Chinese culture and identity are being reinvented.
520 $a The project's eclectic nature disrupts conventional scholarly approaches. I believe that such an undertaking is necessary if we hope to make sense of the fleeting social realities which challenge established Western theoretical conventions.
