Lightning Wires: The Telegraph and China's Technological Modernization, 1860-1890 (Contributions in Asian Studies)
Authors: Erik Baark. Hardcover, 240 pagesPublisher: Greenwood Press Publication Date: 1997-03-30 Reviews :
The transfer and assimilation of advanced technology has been an important challenge for China's modernization for more than a century. Baark examines some of the dilemmas faced by Chinese modernizers of the yangwu (Western affairs) movement from the 1860s to the 1890s. Telegraph technology emerged in the West on the basis of scientific discoveries in electricity in the early nineteenth century, and was greeted with enthusiasm by governments and the public alike. The Chinese attitudes to the telegraph, however, were informed by entirely different political and cultural priorities. Baark examines the tensions which existed between the Chinese and the foreign companies seeking to extend telegraph technology to East Asian cities, and he shows how the domestic network was shaped by indigenous social and cultural forces. This book will be of considerable interest to historians of modern China, technology, and economic development....

Channels of Resistance: Global Television and Local Empowerment
Authors: Hardcover, 194 pagesPublisher: British Film Inst Publication Date: 1993-08 Reviews :
This collection of essays from around the world examines how television influences, affects and reflects different cultures. The force of television as a homogenizing force, or "global policeman": acting on behalf of Western, predominantly American capitalism, is widely acknowledged. This work aims to illuminate the colonizing effects of television, and looks closely at how indigenous groups in countries as various as Australia, Canada and Brazil use TV. From "Video Diaries" in the UK, to grass roots, TV production in the Occupied Territories, these essays show how local resistance and radical innovation struggle in the face of an increasingly commercial global television system....
