Postcolonial Disability In Mohesen Makhmalbaf’S Kandahar, Sukshma Vedere
Postcolonial Disability In Mohesen Makhmalbaf’S Kandahar, Sukshma Vedere

E’gao (恶搞 EUH-gow) uses videos, images, and text based campaigns that use humor to remove fear of political commentary and action. By detailing the development of China’s internet use, and the creation of the e’gao movement, I argue that e’gao removes the fear of participating in campaigns and movements, which criticize government policy and actions on both local and state levels, by using humor and anonymity of large online numbers. E’gao can provide a way for the common citizens to mold policy, and hold authority …
