The Sinica Network presents Strangers in China S3 Episode 1

This week on Sinica, we proudly present Episode 1 of the newest season of Strangers in China: Lockdown Part 1: A day in the life. The 2022 Shanghai lockdown came to Clay’s neighborhood early and caught him off-guard. Struggling with his mental health, Clay documents how lockdown works on a granular level giving listeners an audio tour of his neighborhood as it plunges into the uncertainty of all the minutiae of day-to-day life living under the control of the apparatuses that shut down an entire city for several months. The boredom, the stress, the terror. He documents clashes with local bureaucracy and the ingenuity of the people of Shanghai who had to live through these dark and strange times. Clay ventures out into a city as it’s about to enter the full city lockdown and gives listeners a sense of what a city looks like before it's irrevocably changed.  Music credits: Csus https://soundcloud.com/csus Moss Heim- https://soundcloud.com/mossheim-experimental/cutup-test-cycle-7000 Trey https://soundcloud.com/tristan-phipps-1/trance Jaies https://soundcloud.com/jaiess Bary https://soundcloud.com/bary_is_cool Ginger pitcher https://soundcloud.com/gingerpitcherfredfroh TDP-Experimental https://soundcloud.com/user-99078702 Xxiuk https://soundcloud.com/xxiuk Lakey Inspired https://soundcloud.com/lakeyinspired TazLazuli https://soundcloud.com/tazlazuli Terri skills https://soundcloud.com/beatz-by-terri-skillz Lofee https://soundcloud.com/lofeetunes Dr3am____ https://soundcloud.com/dr3am-official Purrple Cat https://soundcloud.com/purrplecat Ye Old Experimental Junk https://soundcloud.com/ye-old-experimental-junk Le gang https://soundcloud.com/thisislegang Obani https://soundcloud.com/obani Jozwyn https://soundcloud.com/jozwyn MCV https://soundcloud.com/just-chillin-654995634 Works consulted https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-60893070 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-12/shanghai-residents-remain-largely-under-lockdown-despite-easing https://isdp.eu/publication/xi-jinping-and-the-administrative-hierarchy-and-subdivisions-in-china/ https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/elizabethperry/files/managed_campaigns_-_proofs.pdf https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1178528.shtml https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1184356.shtml https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/pdf/10.1086/694299 https://elibrary.law.psu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1209&context=psilr https://www.smh.com.au/world/pocket-of-poverty-the-new-shanghai-has-left-behind-20121109-293dl.html https://www.scmp.com/video/china/3187061/shanghais-old-west-gate-neighbourhood-emptied-demolition-and-redevelopment https://academic.oup.com/columbia-scholarship-online/book/20259/chapter-abstract/179324873?redirectedFrom=fulltext&login=false The work of Michel Foucault See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
