The second in a two-volume series that explores the interplay between social transformation and visual culture in contemporary China, this book examines the profound changes in the cityscapes, visual regimes, and visual technologies that shape the aestheticization of everyday life.Drawing on an approach of Marxist historical materialism and interdisciplinary resources from sociology, communication, and art, this volume investigates three key aspects of visual culture in modern China: the transformation of urban landscapes and its impact on cultural autonomy and local identity; the development of visual regimes, focusing on public museums as sites for the construction of public visuality; and the role of visual technologies in reshaping everyday life, from the influence of television on traditional customs to the rise of internet subcultures.This title will provide valuable insights for scholars and students of Chinese, cultural, and urban studies, as well as readers interested in the ongoing visual transformation of contemporary Chinese society.

This comprehensive two-volume set explores the complex relationship between social transformation and visual culture in contemporary China.Drawing on Marxist historical materialism and interdisciplinary approaches, this set offers a nuanced analysis of how visual culture is produced, constructed and experienced in modern China. The first volume examines the visual construction of popular culture, avant-garde art and grassroots media culture, analysing cultural tensions in contemporary China through the lens of visual representation and offering insights into the interplay between social change and visual expression. The second volume explores the transformation of urban landscapes, the evolution of visual regimes, and the aestheticization of everyday life through visual technologies. It assesses how rapid urbanisation has affected cultural autonomy and local identity, explores the role of public museums in the construction of public visuality, and analyses how visual technologies - from television to mobile phones - have reshaped traditional customs and given rise to new digital subcultures.This set will provide valuable insights for scholars and students of Chinese studies, cultural studies and urban studies, as well as readers interested in the ongoing visual transformation of contemporary Chinese society.
