The Politics of Egao (spoof culture) & The Egao Gang

Interlocals.net analyzes “the politics of spoof culture” by looking at the role of censorship in China, the tradition of spoof culture (“Lu Xun’s Old tales retold can be understood as an ironic spoof, Cui Jian’s Red Rock can be read as wild reflection, Stephen Chow’s Western Journey (大話西遊) has been perceived as laughable and sober realization,”), and offers some hints at where it’s going.

They also link to the Online Egao Gang (网络恶搞门派), which seems to be TOM’s hub for egao artifacts (title pictured above).
