Ethnographic Fieldwork in a Global Era: Challenges and Opportunities
Ageing and Intergenerational Relations in Contemporary Chinese Societies
Contemporary East Asian societies have been a rich resource for sociological research, especially in the fields of politics and economics. However, sociologists have paid less attention to the arts and creative industries located in the East Asian context. Cultural products from East Asia, ranging from Japanese animation to K-pop and Chinese contemporary art, have gained global popularity over the past few decades. Though local art scenes possess distinct features as they are embedded in their historical and social contexts, they have also been increasingly globalized through technological developments and international collaborations. Such regional and global flows, as well as practices of producers, consumers and intermediaries in local cultural markets and creative industries, provide opportunities for empirical research and theory building.
The mission of the journal is to facilitate the development of the discipline of sociology in China, and promote the academic progress of sociological studies on Chinese society around the world. The Journal aims to build a first-rate international platform for academic exchange and collaboration between Chinese sociologists and their overseas peers.
The Journal of Chinese Sociology is a peer-reviewed, open access journal and welcomes high-quality work from all areas of sociology and sociologically informed contributions from anthropologists, economists, historians, psychologists and political scientists.
