These days, individuals, organizations, and governments are all engaged in self-promotion, offering up self-definitions. One example of this are city promotional videos. These media productions transform a living city of people into an image. How do audiences process and understand these images? Can audiences agree on what constitutes urban culture?
This presentation draws on in-depth interviews in Shanghai to explore how local audiences understand visual expressions of their urban culture, and how their personal experiences shape what people take away from these images of the city.

The USC U.S.-China Institute presents a discussion with Victor Shih and Zhang Xiaojing on the large government debts that have accumulated in China, especially at the local level and the resources available to the government to meet its obligations and to foster continued economic expansion. There are 316 million people in China between the ages of 15 and 30. In the United States there are 66 million. In what ways are they similar? How do they differ? We hope you can join us in Shanghai on Friday, April 3 as we explore the aims and concerns of this large and important generation. What's on the minds of millennials in China and
America? What are their hopes and worries? At this symposium, we'll be exploring
the aspirations of young Chinese and Americans with regard to school, work,
romance, and life. What are their attitudes toward gender and generational
roles? What obligations do they feel towards their own dreams, toward their
families, their friends, their employers, and their communities? What does how
they spend their time and money signal about their priorities?
Please
join us to hear from and talk with leading researchers, businesspeople and
journalists about these and other questions.
