Recenzii

A deliciously concrete yet profoundly general account of how the media in Greater China sort out their paradoxes-as well as how they negotiate a globalizing and technological order that they had never known before.
The information presented in this book is very informative, fresh, and comprehensive, and the analysis provided by the author is important and thoughtful. . . . A significant contribution.
This book goes beyond being cutting edge; it begins to define an entire field of study-media distribution-that until now has been relegated to the margins or seen only as an area of interest to students of marketing or management. . . . I plan to use the book in my international communication courses.
Wang provides a thorough, scholarly investigation of distribution and piracy in the (very) contemporary filmmaking industry. The author's approach-involving in-depth interviews, field observations, and library and archival research-is exhaustive and precise. Recommended.
Wang's book is divided into two parts, offering what she calls 'contexts' (historical theoretical, politico-economic-technological), followed by detailed case studies on mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The book focuses on both legal and illegal film distribution. . . . This approach enables Wang to demonstrate the crucial relationships between global, national, regional, and local forces. For those interested in the political economy of the film industry in Greater China, this is a valuable pioneering work, offering a wealth of rich detail largely unavailable elsewhere.
Shujen Wang's extensive field research and thoughtful analysis unveils the mysteries of media piracy, showing how the fundamental logic of commercial film distribution is changing in our globalizing, hi-tech world. This fascinating study demonstrates why Greater China is at once the most promising and the most problematic market that Hollywood has ever confronted.
Shujen Wang provides a valuable range of contexts, both theoretical and practical....The great merit of this essay lies in its meticulous attention to detailing the link between global production and local distribution under globalism.
