In \u003ci\u003eUnderglobalization\u003c\/i\u003e Joshua Neves examines the cultural politics of the \"fake\" and how frictions between legality and legitimacy propel dominant models of economic development and political life in contemporary China. Focusing on a wide range of media technologies and practices in Beijing, Neves shows how piracy and fakes are manifestations of what he calls underglobalization-the ways social actors undermine and refuse to implement the specific procedures and protocols required by globalization at different scales. By tracking the rise of fake politics and transformations in political society, in China and globally, Neves demonstrates that they are alternate outcomes of globalizing processes rather than anathema to them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua Neves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478008057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoshua Neves is Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair, Film Studies at Concordia University and coeditor of \u003ci\u003eAsian Video Cultures: In the Penumbra of the Global\u003c\/i\u003e, also published by Duke University Press.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45254333562995,"sku":"9781478008057","price":59.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_f6a58941-a5f3-4101-bd1f-4efcf4da1222.jpg?v=1784202702","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/underglobalization-beijings-media-urbanism-and-the-chimera-of-legitimacy-9781478008057","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
