Wang Shuo and the commercialisation of contemporary Chinese culture
Get PDFThis 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
Redundant Residue Number System Assisted Multicarrier Direct-Sequence Code-Division Dynamic Multiple-Access for Cognitive Radios
No full textA redundant residue number system assisted multicarrier direct-sequence code-division dynamic multiple-access (RRNS MC/DS-CDDMA) scheme is proposed for application in cognitive radios (CRs). Taking the advantages of both the multicarrier direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (MC/DS-CDMA) and the RRNS, the RRNS MC/DS-CDDMA has a low-complexity for implementation, a high-flexibility for reconfiguration and is robust to dynamic spectrums. Associated with the RRNS MC/DS-CDDMA, in this paper, the so-called receiver multiuser diversity aided multi-stage minimum mean-square error multiuser detector (RMD/MS-MMSE MUD) is considered for signal detection. Specifically, three types of RMD/MS-MMSE MUDs are proposed, which are the Type-I.1, Type-II.1 and Type-I.2 RMD/MS-MMSE MUDs. In these MUD schemes, the Type-I.1 MUD carries out the joint detection of all the subcarrier signals using both the observations and the channel state information (CSI) of all the subcarriers. In the Type-I.2 and Type-II.1 RMD/MS-MMSE MUDs, the embedded MMSE-MUDs are implemented subcarrier-by-subcarrier independently. Furthermore, in the Type-I.2 RMD/MS-MMSE MUD, the autocorrelation matrices used by the MMSE-MUDs are free from the CSI. Explicitly, both the Type-II.1 and Type-I.2 RMD/MS-MMSE MUDs are suitable for operation in dynamic spectrum environments. Furthermore, our simulation results show that the above three types of RMD/MS-MMSE MUDs are capable of making the RRNS MC/DS-CDDMA systems achieve similar error and throughput performance. Owing to the above merits, the RRNS MC/DS-CDDMA employing either Type-I.2 or Type-II.1 RMD/MS-MMSE MUD may be considered one of the highly promising DMA schemes for application in CR systems
