活动简介

This workshop aims to introduce areas of foci of cultural studies in a Chinese context with a focus on contextualisation and methodologies. The workshop will begin with a brief review of British cultural studies, its focus, theoretical approach and methodologies. It will then explain why contextualisation is important in a different cultural context with recent cases. Three cases from published research will focus on subculture, consumption culture, and cultural and creative industries to engage with a wider audience. Publication strategies and writing tips will also be covered towards the end. PhD researchers and early career researchers in the area of media and communication, anthropology and China studies are welcome to attend.
