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. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900 - 1999|2fast 650 0 Documentary television programs|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85038729|zGreat Britain|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79023147-781|xHistory|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006165 650 0 Public opinion|zGreat Britain.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008109627 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Documentary television programs.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/896100 650 7 Relations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1892706 650 7 Public opinion.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1082785 651 0 China|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79091151 |xForeign public opinion|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00005785|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 651 0 Great Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79023147|xRelations|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00007590|zChina.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79091151-781 651 0 China|xRelations|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2008114661|zGreat Britain.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79023147-781 651 7 China.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1206073 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCao, Qing.|tChina under western gaze. |dHackensack, NJ : World Scientific, ©2014|z9789814578295 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=810368|zOnline eBook.
