With the ongoing market-oriented transformation in Chinese journalism, the process of economic change is said to weaken the communist political control of the media. Under the looser political atmosphere accompanied by the economic reforms, the women's movement and feminist studies have become more active and influential in post-Mao China. This study has selected post-Mao feminism as counter-hegemony to the male-state, in order to explore its influence on the media from the 1990s. The theoretical contribution of this study lies in the development of a generalized framework to illuminate influences from counter-hegemony on the media. This framework distinguishes between media text and practice, the latter being categorized into three parts; individual challenges, professional routines, and institutional context. This study argues that an integrated analysis of the media with hegemony theory should include an analysis of counter-hegemony, i.e., how the alternative discourse and practices are articulated to various sectors of the media. Post-Mao feminism is not only defined as feminism in post-Mao China; what is more significant is the separation of its perspectives and activities from party-controlled and state-supported feminism in Maoist China. This is not just an academic distinction, because the women's movement and women's NGOs have a prominent part in authoritarian China.

520 $a With the ongoing market-oriented transformation in Chinese journalism, the process of economic change is said to weaken the communist political control of the media. Under the looser political atmosphere accompanied by the economic reforms, the women's movement and feminist studies have become more active and influential in post-Mao China. This study has selected post-Mao feminism as counter-hegemony to the male-state, in order to explore its influence on the media from the 1990s. The theoretical contribution of this study lies in the development of a generalized framework to illuminate influences from counter-hegemony on the media. This framework distinguishes between media text and practice, the latter being categorized into three parts; individual challenges, professional routines, and institutional context. This study argues that an integrated analysis of the media with hegemony theory should include an analysis of counter-hegemony, i.e., how the alternative discourse and practices are articulated to various sectors of the media. Post-Mao feminism is not only defined as feminism in post-Mao China; what is more significant is the separation of its perspectives and activities from party-controlled and state-supported feminism in Maoist China. This is not just an academic distinction, because the women's movement and women's NGOs have a prominent part in authoritarian China.
520 $a This study focuses on analysis of changes at both the textual and practical levels in party journalism mobilized by post-Mao feminism. Based on a content analysis of the China Women s News between 1990 and 2002, this study has found that women's representation is characterized by fragmentation, i.e., there is a small amount, co-existence of dominant and alternative perspectives, erratic increase and decrease, lack of connection between news facts, non-comprehensive representation, and incomplete visibility of all indicators to women's news. This study suggests that the negotiation between orthodox state control, market forces, and post-Mao feminism is the main reason for the fragmentation of women's news and the changes in media practice. Therefore, when demonstrating the gender consciousness of journalists, party principles with gender consideration, and one media NGO focusing on gender, this study pays attention to the complicated interaction between these three forces to illuminate the challenge to party-controlled journalism. This study concludes that fragmentation is the way that post-Mao feminism, as counter-hegemony, is represented in present-day Chinese media, which indicates a process of media transformation. However, a profit-driven media transformation under pressure from the party-state cannot lead to media freedom and democracy in China. The emerging state-market complex in Chinese journalism prevents post-Mao feminism from subverting the party journalism to the fullest extent. Although the influence of post-Mao feminism as counter-hegemony is very limited, the party-controlled media is being consistently challenged and changed by the alternative, innovative, bottom-up feminist movement in the post-Mao period.
