Review Quotes
Cultural Trends
"This substantial work provides an insight into Shanghai’s cultural policies and how they are intertwined with economic, social and cultural development. . . . [It] provides fruitful analysis of case studies covering the film industry, fine art and antiques industry, online gaming industry, cultural finance, digital technologies and the Shanghai international arts festival. . . . It is an insightful and stimulating book that synthesises various cultural sectors into the topic, offering significant detail which feeds into a developmental narrative of Shanghai’s cultural policies. This book contributes to the field of cultural studies, policy studies and urban studies in the Chinese context, examining a series of government policies supporting film, visual art, performing arts, media and technologies. It is a starting point for students, researchers, policy makers and cultural practitioners who hope to develop a more holistic understanding of China’s cultural policy and city planning. The work provides welcome insight into how the Chinese government plays a key role in resolving the tension between social and economic impacts in a 'socialist' market economy."
