Hardback
Description
Explores the increasingly intimate relationship between China and wireless technology, taking the wave as a central conceptProvides a new theoretical apparatus that reimagines key issues around technological evolution in a shifting geopolitical landscapeOffers a corrective to certain myopias of Western media theoryPresents a deep, historical engagement with issues and debates surrounding Chinese cybercultureBrings together contemporary media theory with modern Chinese philosophical thoughtIn the 21st century city, wireless waves constitute an imperceptible, immersive, all-encompassing environment.
Nowhere is this more so than in China, where a hyperdense network of mobile media has restructured daily life. Anna Greenspan re-imagines the relationship between China and wirelessness by synthesising contemporary media theory with modern Chinese thought.
It focuses specifically on the work of three critical figures: Tan Sitong ??? (1865 1898), Xiong Shili ??? (1885 1968) and Mou Zongsan ??? (1909 1995).
