Television, Museums, and Identity Construction in China: An Analysis of the TV program National Treasure (2017-2019)

Master thesis | Asian Studies (60 EC) (MA)
This thesis analyzes the Chinese cultural exploration TV program 'National Treasure', which was popular for its introduction and promotion of museum collections (known as 'cultural relics' 文物 in China) as 'national treasures'. This thesis further investigates this program as a new means of Chinese identity construction by the Chinese government based on the 'Chinese Dream'（中国梦）discourse.
