Xiangothaumaspis Xin, Wang & Shi 2020, gen. nov.
Xiangothaumaspis Xin, Wang & Shi gen. nov. (aeIJǿḁ) Generic characters. Body small-sized. Frons slightly sloping posteriorly. Fastigium verticis conical, apex rounded. Pronotum longer, lateral lobe without humeral sinus. Tegmina short, surpassing posterior margin of pronotum, hind wings absent. Apices of genicular lobes of all femora obtusely rounded, posttibia bearing 1 pair of dorsal and ventral apical spurs separately. Male tenth abdominal tergite extended backwards, the middle of posterior margin with a notch, ventral surface of subapical area with a posterior process. Genitalia sclerotized; subgenital plate with styli. Basal area of female subgenital plate with 1 slender lateral process on dorso-lateral surface respectively. Type species. Xiangothaumaspis falcatus Xin, Wang & Shi sp. nov. Remarks. This new genus resembles Aphlugiolopsis Wang, Liu & Li, 2015, but differs in: male tenth abdominal tergite extended backwards, posterior margin with a notch in the middle, ventral surface of subapical area with a posterior process; and from Pseudothaumaspis Gorochov, 1998 in: male genitalia sclerotized, with a large sclerite; from females of the two genera in: subgenital plate with 1 slender and long lateral process on dorso-lateral surface at the base respectively. Etymology. The name of the new genus is derived from abbreviation of Hunan province “ xiang ”, and the scientific name for Thaumaspis.Published as part of Xin, Yarui, Wang, Tao & Shi, Fuming, 2020, New genera and species of brachypterous members of the tribe Meconematini (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) from Hunan, China, pp. 385-392 in Zootaxa 4819 (2) on pages 385-386, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4819.2.10, http://zenodo.org/record/443877

Wang Shuo and the commercialisation of contemporary Chinese culture
This thesis examines the commercialisation of Chinese culture that has taken place over the past twenty years in mainland China. It explores the contribution of Wang Shuo, a cultural figure who straddles different fields of culture, moving from literature to the ultimate mass culture medium of television, this study plots Wang Shuo' s development from educational failure, to business failure, to fiction writer, film & TV editor, film director and cultural critic and analyst. His stories, films, TV series and articles have caused shock-waves throughout national cultural circles as he has transformed the terms of the debate from academic discourse to a validation of the role of the market in the culture field. Although Wang Shuo has not been labelled as a dissident, his approach to the culture market has had a more subversive effect on official ideology that those overt dissidents who have had to live in exile or have been imprisoned. He has utilised the language of official ideology to satirise the authorities, turning the ideology and its supporters into figures of fun. Yet his own goals have been strictly personal and economic ones. The authorities recognize the value of Wang Shuo's work in the cultural market but at the same time distrust his works and place him under strict censorship. Examining the way Wang Shuo and people surround him have succeeded in different fields of cultural achievement is a mirror to understanding the process of the transformation of contemporary Chinese culture from a socialist state-controlled culture to a market-oriented mass culture industry
