Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Nationalism, in China as much as elsewhere, is today adopted, filtered, transformed, enhanced, and accelerated through digital networks. And as we have increasingly seen, nationalism in digital spheres interacts in complicated ways with nationalism "on the ground". Using two cases, the infamous Nanjing Massacre of 1937 and the recent disputes between China and Japan over islands in the East China Sea, this book shows how various stakeholders in China construct networks and deploy power to shape nationalism for their own ends.
MoreLong description:
Nationalism, in China as much as elsewhere, is today adopted, filtered, transformed, enhanced, and accelerated through digital networks. And as we have increasingly seen, nationalism in digital spheres interacts in complicated ways with nationalism "on the ground". If we are to understand the social and political complexities of the twenty-first century, we need to ask: what happens to nationalism when it goes digital?
In China's Digital Nationalism, Florian Schneider explores the issue by looking at digital China first hand, exploring what search engines, online encyclopedias, websites, hyperlink networks, and social media can tell us about the way that different actors construct and manage a crucial topic in contemporary Chinese politics: the protracted historical relationship with neighbouring Japan. Using two cases, the infamous Nanjing Massacre of 1937 and the ongoing disputes over islands in the East China Sea, Schneider shows how various stakeholders in China construct networks and deploy power to shape nationalism for their own ends. These dynamics provide crucial lessons on how nation states adapt to the shifting terrain of the digital age and highlight how digital nationalism is today an emergent property of complex communication networks.
Schneider's book develops a powerful critique of current literatures on nationalism, cyber politics, and China studies, while providing a thought-provoking interpretation of digital nationalism in China as a technological, social, economic, and political phenomenon.Despite the theoretical and conceptual complexity, the book is written in a highly accessible fashion. Students of China studies, digital media, identity politics, and authoritarian politics should certainly read it. Readers with or without background knowledge about China, nationalism, or digital media but are interested in these topics will enjoy it.
