FromCyber-NationalismtoFandomNationalism

This book examines a new trend in Chinese cyber-nationalism through an analysis of the 2016 "Diba expedition" incident. It features contributions from communication scholars in the U.S. and China, with eight chapters covering the history, mobilization, and organization of the new cyber-nationalism, as well as the evolution of symbolic devices and the impact of various cultural phenomena on the movement.

The authors situate the "Diba expedition" within the context of social media, mobile internet, smart mobile phones, and other new-generation ICTs, shedding light on the changing meanings of Chinese political culture under the influences of official nationalistic education, commercial culture, and grassroots internet culture.
