The Europe in two billion eyes: Images from Chinese television
No full textMass media, in general, and television, in particular (as one of the most accessible and
frequently used means of mass communication), reflect to a certain extent feelings and
images that exist within a given society and remodel perceptions. This article presents
to the readers an interesting analysis of the influence of Chinese television on the way the EU and Europeans are seen in China. It draws the ‘portrait of Europe’ by examining two types of Chinese drama series: series about transnational families featuring interaction between Chinese and non-Chinese cultures; and series about Chinese immigrants or tourists in Europe, showing the Chinese perception of the European lifestyle. It looks into the interactions between the characters featured in the series and the environment they are put in so as to examine the image of Europe that is being conveyed to the Chinese public
Television Literature: a Successful Literary Genre of Today’s China
No full textThe seriality, in times and ways typical of the television, has become a defining feature of
modern Chinese culture. Written narratives, purposefully created to meet the consumer’s
expectations, find in the television storytelling a way to satisfy the needs of the readers. Needs

speech is to elucidate the radical transformation of the notion of writing in the contemporary
Chinese literature, whereby books turn into a product comparable to tv series, music videos or
even videogames. In order to show this transformation the paper analyses two literary works: The
Dialogues according to Yu Dan and Zhou Meisen’s In the Name of People, whose publication has
followed the timing of the broadcasting of two television works
Ritrovarsi in Tv durante una pandemia: analisi di due serie televisive cinesi
No full textIl contributo propone un’analisi della narrazione dell’esperienza del COVID a Wuhan nei primi mesi del 2020 proposta dalle due serie televisive Heroes e With you realizzate a ridosso della conclusione del primo lockdown cinese. L’esame sarà svolto individuando gli elementi comuni alle due serie nella descrizione dei protagonisti delle serie e il modo in cui dialogano con personaggi e fatti reali, anche alla luce delle presentazioni offerte dai produttori televisivi alla stampa e pubblicate su riviste specializzate o riviste di partito. Al fine di capire se questa esperienza sia considerata in Cina come un trauma culturale, le serie sono, quindi, qui considerate come spazi di interpretazione dell’esperienza individuale in senso collettivo, discorsi in cui la memoria esercita un ruolo fondante nella definizione dell’io sociale e culturale

"Sister Lotus and the cult of the selfie in China"
No full textThis is the age of selfies and selfie sticks. The self-portrait taken by the camera of a smartphone, which is immediately distributed and cast into a network, created a new way and new space of communication, as well as a new form of art. In China, the portrait itself held, for a certain period, the power of breaking with the past and with the dominant tradition. The selfie on the other hand seems to be the manifestation of a type of cultural homogeneity
