    Abstract: With its emergence as a global power, China aspires to transform from "made in China" to "created in China". Mobilised as a crucial source for solid growth and "soft power", creativity has become part of the new China Dream. This anthology engages with the imperative of creativity by aligning it to three interrelated phenomena: boredom, shanzhai, and digitisation. How does creativity help mitigate boredom? Does boredom incubate creativity? How do shanzhai practices and the omnipresence of fake stuffs challenge notions of the original and authentic? Which spaces for expressions and contestations has China's fast-developing digital world of Weixin, Taobao, Youku and Internet Plus Policy opened up? Are new technologies serving old interests? Essays, dialogues, audio-visual documents and field notes, from thinkers, researchers, practitioners and policy-makers, contribute to explore, examine and problematize what is going on in China now, ultimately to tease out its implication to our understanding of "creativity"

    Abstract: Chinese filmmakers, kunstenaars, musici en schrijvers proberen voortdurend grip te krijgen op de razendsnelle urbanisatie van China. Maar hoe wordt in hun werk de Chinese stad verbeeld en opnieuw uitgevonden? Welke alternatieven bieden zij in kunst en populaire cultuur voor een volledig gecommodificeerde stad? En hoe verhoudt deze kunst zich tot het dagelijkse leven? 'Spectacle and the City' bevat bijdragen van vooraanstaande wetenschappers als Ackbar Abbas en Chua Beng Huat, en de spraakmakende Chinese criticus Ou Ning. In het boek staat de verbeelding van de Chinese stad centraal: niet alleen als een spiegeling van de werkelijke stad, maar evenzeer als onderdeel van de constructie, destructie en deconstructie van de stad. Daarmee vormt ze een intrinsiek onderdeel van de sociale, materiele en politieke werkelijkheid van Chinese steden. In deze bundel komen behalve steden in China ook steden als Singapore aan bod

    Abstract: China is urbanizing at an unprecedented speed. Filmmakers, artists, musicians, and writers all try to come to terms with the changes of their city. How is the Chinese city-as-spectacle, visualised and thus imagined and reimagined, if not contested, in art and popular culture? What are the possible escape routes from a completely commodified cityscape? How to realign artistic expressions of the spectacle with everyday practices? The imaginations of the Chinese city in art and popular culture that this book explores are not taken as merely mirroring or reflecting "reality", on the contrary, they are part and parcel of the construction, destruction and deconstruction of that "reality". As such, these imaginations are enmeshed in the social, material and political realities that produce Chiense cityscapes. Spectacle and the City: Chinese Urbanities in Art and Popular Culture brings together essays be an interdisciplinary team of experts on Chinese cities, including world-renowned scholars like Ackbar Abbas and Chua Beng Huat, as well as leading cultural critics like Ou Ning. Aiming to steer away from an exclusive focus on Mainland China, the adjective Chinese has a cultural meaning and includes places like Singapore and Hong Kong
