A Feminist Reading of China’s Digital Public Sphere “A very valuable addition to the literature on China’s vigorous and constantly growing digital public sphere. By bringing in the gender dynamic and engaging with it critically, this book fills a gap in recent scholarship on a vital subject. Strongly recommended.” —Daya Thussu, Professor of International Communication, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong “Benefiting from his professional training as a media and culture researcher and his feminist analytical edge and social conscience, Peng examines the intersection between gender and politics as it is manifested, represented, and reproduced in the Chinese cyberspace. This book is one of the first to study gender construction on the Chinese Internet as an effective lens through which one can get a glimpse at a much larger dynamic field of social reproduction. It offers useful theoretical insight into post-Mao China’s gender culture and politics, backed up with fresh empirical cases ranging from the rise of pseudo-feminism to Internet users’ debate on gender issues and their discursive construction of top female business and political leaders as particular gendered beings.” —Fengshu Liu, Professor of Comparative and International Education, University of Oslo, Norway
