While these changes have been accompanied by strong continuities spanning different periods in China's history, from the Mao Zedong era (1949-76) to the present era of Xi Jinping (2012-present), they have often been obscured by a perception of stability. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRedefining Propaganda in Modern China: A Comprehensive Examination is a groundbreaking work that delves into the complex and evolving nature of propaganda within the Chinese Communist Party system. It builds upon the work of previous scholars and seeks to answer critical questions about the meaning, institutions, functions, techniques, and themes of propaganda across different eras. The contributors to this volume employ a diverse range of historical, cultural studies, propaganda studies, and comparative politics approaches to explore these issues. Their research encompasses the broad spectrum of propaganda, including its presence in everyday life and during extraordinary moments of mobilization and demobilization. It also sheds light on the systematic continuities and discontinuities of propaganda from the perspectives of policy-makers, bureaucratic functionaries, and artists. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo provide a comprehensive and timely update on the subject, the book includes both localized and granular case studies, as well as deep readings and cross-cutting interpretive essays. These essays place the history of the People's Republic of China within broader temporal and comparative frames, allowing for a more nuanced understanding of propaganda's role in shaping Chinese society. By examining the evolution of propaganda in modern China, this book aims to shed light on a vital aspect of Chinese Communist Party authority. It seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of what propaganda has meant ideologically, operationally, aesthetically, and in terms of social experience. The book will be of interest to scholars, researchers, policymakers, and anyone with an interest in contemporary China and its political system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367628420\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104885600506,"sku":"9780367628420","price":43.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_d581453e-14f5-45e7-b1f5-3794f68aa18e.jpg?v=1654416934","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/redefining-propaganda-in-modern-china-the-mao-era-and-its-legacies-9780367628420","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
