Based on immersive fieldwork, Cara Wallis provides an intimate portrait of the social, cultural, and economic implications of mobile communication for a group of young women engaged in unskilled service work in Beijing, where they live and work for indefinite periods of time.While simultaneously situating her work within the fields of feminist studies, technology studies, and communication theory, Wallis explores the way in which the cell phone has been integrated into the transforming social structures and practices of contemporary China, and the ways in which mobile technology enables rural young women-a population that has been traditionally marginalized and deemed as "backward" and "other"-to participate in and create culture, allowing them to perform a modern, rural-urban identity. In this theoretically rich and empirically grounded analysis,Wallis provides original insight into the co-construction of technology and subjectivity as well as the multiple forces that shape contemporary China. 001480198 538__ $$aMode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. 001480198 546__ $$aIn English. 001480198 5880_ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 18.
