Description
Explore the complexities of social change in China through this academic volume from the Routledge Contemporary China Series. As unprecedented shifts intensify contradictions for ordinary people, individuals often navigate between official discourses and popular views. This book examines how people use irony and cynicism within local communities and their relationship to the contemporary Chinese state. Written by a group of anthropologists specializing in China, this collection provides ethnographic studies of irony and cynicism in social action. It offers a deep look at how diverse moral frameworks and different representations of China's past and future shape everyday life. This text is an essential resource for those studying anthropology and sociology in the context of modern China.
