520 "A major contribution to the study of global events in
times of global media. Owning the Olympics tests the
possibilities and limits of the concept of 'media events'
by analyzing the mega-event of the information age: the
Beijing Olympics. ... A good read from cover to cover."--
Guobin Yang, Associate Professor, Asian/Middle Eastern
Cultures & Sociology, Barnard College, Columbia University
From the moment they were announced, the Beijing Games
were a major media event and the focus of intense scrutiny
and speculation. In contrast to earlier such events,
however, the Beijing Games are also unfolding in a newly
volatile global media environment that is no longer
monopolized by broadcast media. The dramatic expansion of
media outlets and the growth of mobile communications
technology have changed the nature of media events, making
it significantly more difficult to regulate them or
control their meaning. This volatility is reflected in the
multiple, well-publicized controversies characterizing the
run-up to Beijing 2008. According to many Western
commentators, the People's Republic of China seized the
Olympics as an opportunity to reinvent itself as the "New
China"--a global leader in economics, technology, and
environmental issues, with an improving human-rights
record. But China's maneuverings have also been hotly
contested by diverse global voices, including prominent
human-rights advocates, all seeking to displace the
official story of the Games. Bringing together a
distinguished group of scholars from Chinese studies,
human rights, media studies, law, and other fields, Owning
the Olympics reveals how multiple entities--including the
Chinese Communist Party itself--seek to influence and
control the narratives through which the Beijing Games
will be understood. digitalculturebooks is an imprint of
