China on Video - Smaller-Screen Realities

Die empirische Analyse und die theoretische Bearbeitung von geschlechtsspezifischen Machtverhältnissen ist zurückgegangen. Allerdings sind nicht die Gegenstände der Analyse verschwunden, sondern die Benennung in Machtkategorien. Der Band will vor diesem Hintergrund die Machtlage im Geschlechterverhältnis noch einmal grundsätzlich zum Gegenstand machen.
