A study of Chinese language, culture and society, this book adopts the tools of cultural studies and applies them to a previously conservative discipline. It employs concepts of social semiotics to extend the ideas of language and reading and covers a range of cultural texts. The authors tackle areas such as grammar, language, gender, popular culture, film and the Chinese diaspora. The book should help to break down the boundaries around the ideas and identities of East and West and provide a relevant analysis of the Chinese and China.

In this volume, international scholars examine how artists, writers, filmmakers, and intellectuals from the Chinese diaspora represented this new China to global audiences. The chapters, often personal in nature, focus on the nexus between the political and economic rise of China and the cultural products this period produced, where new ideas of nation, identity, and diaspora were forged.
