Enduring Traditions, Ethereal Transmissions: Recreating Chinese New Year Celebrations on the Internet.

Kozar, Seana

Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, v1 n2 Nov 1995

Presents a postmodern discussion of the playful recreation of Chinese New Year "cards" by Chinese students using the Internet. Signifies the increasingly popular practice of incorporating festive symbols from other cultures into electronic greetings. Notes that users must often install Chinese-language software before these encoded texts can be displayed in readable Chinese characters. (RS)
