Annotation

This study advocates a new approach to face analysis, namely a miànzi-sensitive perspective on identity theory, to examine and reconceptualize the Chinese face concept, drawing on data gathered from a modern Chinese TV drama. The Chinese concept of face, as a holistic term, could thus be defined as individual, relational, and group miànzi.
