Publisher's Synopsis

Examines the multiple cultural and historical legacies that coexist and challenge each other within serialized television drama (dianshiju) in China. It argues for recognizing the complexity of dianshiju's melodramatic mode and its various subgenres, in effect 'refocusing' mainstream Chinese culture. Provocative and insightful, this will appeal to scholars and students in studies of modern China generally and of contemporary Chinese media and popular culture specifically.
