RomancingtheInternet

In "Romancing the Internet: Producing and Consuming Chinese Web Romance," Jin Feng delves into the evolution of Chinese popular romance on the internet. Initially, she discusses the genealogy of Chinese Web literature and Chinese popular romance. Then, she explores the influence of significant socio-cultural forces on new writing and reading methods, leading to the rise of various subgenres of popular romance in contemporary China. By applying literary and discursive analyses, along with ethnographic techniques, Feng provides a gendered and audience-focused investigation of Chinese popular culture in the era of the internet.
