Network member Jin Feng’s book on Chinese popular romance has just been published (http://www.brill.com/products/book/romancing-internet). Jin’s book first provides a brief genealogy of Chinese Web literature and Chinese popular romance, and then investigates how large socio-cultural forces have shaped new writing and reading practices and created new subgenres of popular romance in contemporary China. Integrating ethnographic methods into literary and discursive analyses, the book offers a gendered, audience-oriented study of Chinese popular culture in the age of the Internet.
Congratulations Jin!
