Whereas the first paradigm shift with media usage can be found in the adoption of the internet and user-generated content on media platforms, the second paradigm shift observed at the time of the pandemic is an acceleration of media consumption, as well as interwoven relations between work and play on mediatised platforms, creating both solidarity and distance between the users of digital content.

Jahrhundert. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeichnet die kulturhistorischen Kontexte seit 1949 nach und gibt Einblicke in Selbstverständnisse kultureller Identität im heutigen China. Er liefert dabei zugleich eine scharfe Gegenwartsanalyse zu aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen im Land, dem Widererstarken traditionalistischer Ansätze in all ihrer Widersprüchlichkeit und zur Bedeutung aktueller Tendenzen der Re-Ideologisierung durch einen vor allem in der jüngeren Generation um sich greifenden Hyper-Nationalismus und China-Suprematismus
