Focusing on social media and tech practices emerging from China's social sector in recent years, this book provides a multifaceted look at the Chinese society caught at a transformative moment, thanks in part to the arrival of Web 2.0 technology and the accompanying cyber utopianism, as well as the Communist Party's recently alleged commitment to policies aimed at energizing the hitherto weak social structure. Wang develops the idea of "nonconfrontational activism" and argues that it's possible to talk about the agency of "change-makers" even in authoritarian countries.-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Walking around obstacles -- Nonconfrontational activism and the Chinese "social" -- NGO 2.0 and social media activism: activist as researcher -- WeChat vs. Weibo: microblogging and peer-to-peer philanthropy -- Millennials as change agents on the social web -- Makers and Tech4Good culture -- Participatory action research and the Chinese challenge -- Conclusion: Between Star Trek and Brave New World? 650 0 $a Internet and activism $z China. 650 0 $a Social media $z China. 650 0 $a Social change $z China. 651 0 $a China $x Social conditions $y 2000- 650 7 $a Internet and activism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01894149 650 7 $a Social change. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122310 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Social media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01741098 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 648 7 $a Since 2000 $2 fast 941 $a 2 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724074430.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317021102.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C1CB5F50586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
