{"product_id":"underglobalization-joshua-neves-9781478007630","title":"Underglobalization: Beijing's Media Urbanism and the Chimera of Legitimacy","description":"Despite China's recent emergence as a major global economic and geopolitical power, its association with counterfeit goods and intellectual property piracy has led many in the West to dismiss its urbanization and globalization as suspect or inauthentic. In \u003ci\u003eUnderglobalization\u003c\/i\u003e Joshua Neves examines the cultural politics of the \"fake\" and how frictions between legality and legitimacy propel dominant models of economic development and political life in contemporary China. Focusing on a wide range of media technologies and practices in Beijing, Neves shows how piracy and fakes are manifestations of what he calls underglobalization--the ways social actors undermine and refuse to implement the specific procedures and protocols required by globalization at different scales. By tracking the rise of fake politics and transformations in political society, in China and globally, Neves demonstrates that they are alternate outcomes of globalizing processes rather than anathema to them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua Neves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147800763X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478007630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Joshua Neves","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088360026367,"sku":"9781478007630","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ccfbd9ec-eaa8-43ca-94c8-2f6756ea00d6.jpg?v=1769104404","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/underglobalization-joshua-neves-9781478007630","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
