520    Serialized television drama (dianshiju), perhaps the most 
       popular and influential cultural form in China over the 
       past three decades, offers a wide and penetrating look at 
       the tensions and contradictions of the post-revolutionary 
       and pro-market period. Zhong Xueping's timely new work 
       draws attention to the multiple cultural and historical 
       legacies that coexist and challenge each other within this
       dominant form of story telling. Although scholars tend to 
       focus their attention on elite cultural trends and avant 
       garde movements in literature and film, Zhong argues for 
       recognizing the complexity of dianshiju's melodramatic 
       mode and its various subgenres, in effect "refocusing" 
       mainstream Chinese culture.Mainstream Culture Refocused 
       opens with an examination of television as a narrative 
       motif in three contemporary Chinese art-house films. Zhong
       then turns her attention to dianshiju's most important 
       subgenres. "Emperor dramas" highlight the link between 
       popular culture's obsession with emperors and modern 
       Chinese intellectuals' preoccupation with issues of 
       history and tradition and how they relate to modernity. In
       her exploration of the "anti-corruption" subgenre, Zhong 
       considers three representative dramas, exploring their 
       diverse plots and emphases. "Youth dramas" rich array of 
       representations reveal the numerous social, economic, 
       cultural, and ideological issues surrounding the notion of
       youth and its changing meanings. The chapter on the 
       "family-marriage" subgenre analyzes the ways in which 
       women's emotions are represented in relation to their 
       desire for "happiness." Song lyrics from music composed 
       for television dramas are considered as "popular poetics."
       Their sentiments range between nostalgia and uncertainty, 
       mirroring the social contradictions of the reform era. The
       Epilogue returns to the relationship between intellectuals
       and the production of mainstream cultural meaning in the 
       context of China&'s post-revolutionary social, economic, 
       and cultural transformation. Provocative and insightful, 
       Mainstream Culture Refocused will appeal to scholars and 
       students in studies of modern China generally and of 
       contemporary Chinese media and popular culture 
       specifically.
