Topics and Speakers
The Shifts and Growth of a 'City':Shenbao and Shanghai
"城"的移动与生长:《申报》-上海
Huang Dan 黄旦, Director of the Information and Communication Studies Center
China's first modern newspaper, Shenbao, was founded in Shanghai in 1872. For locals and for those outside the city, Shenbao came to define the city through its coverage. The city of Shenbao was so much more than administrative boundaries, capturing so much more of the city's life and culture.
The flowing city of Shanghai:Urban regionalism in the era of new technologies and globalization
流动的上海-新技术、全球化时代的城市地方主义
Sun Wei 孙玮, Deputy Dean of the School of Journalism
Shanghai's unique experience has given it a distinctive regional character. It's reemergence as China's most globally-interconnected city is part of national design and draws on its historical role. This talk looks at the images of the city, popular memory, and interaction among the central state, local authorities, and citizens in discussing what Shanghai is and should be.
Imaged City:Big Screens and the Urban Experiences, The Case of Shanghai
影像都市:大屏幕与公众都市经验-以上海为例
Lu Ye 陆晔, Deputy Director of the Information and Communication Studies Center
The "imaged city" is both a city awash in big screen images and the place of such images in the identity of the city. This study differs from others in its focus on how people respond to these images and how they become part of the everyday fabric of Shanghai life. For many they are an important marker of the city's metropolis status.
On the Grid:Mediated Governance in Shanghai Communities
网格化:上海社区的媒介化治理
Xie Jing 谢静, Director of the Media Literacy Study Center
"Grid management" is a new approach to community governance that is being tried in Shanghai. It seeks to divide the city into blocks and to tackle management and problems in a comprehensive, interlinked manner. New technologies are key to the approach, utilizing hotlines, mobile phone apps, cameras, and databases. This "communication-turn" in governance is intended to be more responsive to the needs of citizens and to weave agencies and the community more closely together.
Rethinking the Concept and Measurement of Media Use:Based on a Survey on College Students in Shanghai
媒介使用概念与测量的再思考:基于上海大学生的调查
Liao Shengqing 廖圣清, Chair of the Communication Department, Assistant Director of the Information and Communication Studies Center
Media use is changing. Thinking about media use and measures of it need to change as well. Drawing on surveys of Shanghai college students, Prof. Liao and colleagues have developed a Media Use Fragmentation Index that looks at individual's use of varied media across both time and location.
