It examines the broader social, cultural and historical contexts of parental anxiety by analysing a series of socio-economic changes and population policy changes in post-reform China that contextualise parental experiences. Drawing on Wilkinson’s (2001) conceptualisation linking individual’s risk consciousness to anxiety, this book analyses the situated risk experiences of parents’ and grandparents’, looking particularly into their engagement with various types of media. It studies the representations of health issues and health-related risks in a parenting magazine, popular newspapers, commercial advertising and new media, as well as parents’ and grandparents’ engagement with and response to these media representations. By investigating ‘a culture of anxiety’ among parents and grandparents in contemporary China, thisbook seeks to add to the scholarship of contemporary parenthood in a non- Western context. . | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Risk; anxiety; health; communication; media; parenting; modernity; neoliberalism; China; Parents; grandparents | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-49877-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-69828-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-49877-9 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
