Description

Joining the Global Public examines early Chinese-language newspapers and analyzes their impact on China's modernization. Exploring a range of media such as regular dailies, illustrated weeklies, and entertainment papers, contributors look at factors that influenced the nature of these publications, including foreign models, foreign managers, and a first generation of Chinese journalists, editorialists, and "newspainters." With analyses demonstrating how the growth of popular media would enable China to join the global public, contributors also examine the impact of inserting an alien medium—a newspaper—into a Chinese universe and note the spread of new attitudes and values as entertainment papers filled the space of a newly created urban leisure. A superb and pioneering documentation of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Chinese-language media, Joining the Global Public serves as an introduction to this important yet little-studied part of China's modernization.

Preface

This volume presents some fruits of the work of members of an informal research group, Structure and Development of the Chinese Public Sphere, established in Heidelberg in 1993. It provided a forum for a broad range of independent research projects linked by this focus; subjects ranged from the rhetoric of late Qing editorials to the administration of the national memory through PRC archives; from the acculturation of the newspaper to Chinese preferences to the development of professional journalists; from studies of Ernest Major, the founder and manager of the most important early paper, theShenbao, to studies of Li Boyuan, the man who set the standard for the Chinese entertainment papers; from the implied addressee of advertisements to the rise of the modern star. The German Research Foundation DFG programs Transformations of the European Expansion and Theatricality have supported years of research, and the two conferences organized by the group have received funding from the German Research Foundation and the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation. This support is gratefully acknowledged. A list of the publications of the research group and other relevant information will be found at http://sun.sino. uni-heidelberg.de. The research group has now run its course, and while most of us still work in this field, many members are now continuing their careers elsewhere. Work-ing together over the years was an amazingly uncomplicated and altogether gratifying experience for all of us.
