  • Unpacking ‘Workplace Gaslighting’ as Labour Control in China’s White-Collar Workplace

    Open AccessXiaotian Li, Jingyu MaoARTICLEEuropean Journal of East Asian…2026

    This article develops the concept of ‘workplace gaslighting’ to illustrate a sophisticated form of despotic control between direct coercion and consent generation, adding a conceptual tool in labour process analysis. Drawing on discussions on social media, it demonstrates how workplace gaslighting combines coercion (managerial authority, close supervision, and vertical bullying) with emotional manipulation (ostensible caring and rewarding from ma…

  • Bringing emotional reflexivity and emotional regime to understanding ‘the hukou puzzle’ in contemporary China

    This article examines the dialogic relationship between emotional reflexivity and emotional regime as it explores ‘the hukou puzzle’ in China. In theory, migrants in small- to medium-scale cities can transfer their hukou (household registration) to urban areas, yet are unwilling to do so in practice. Relying on six months’ ethnographic fieldwork and 60 in-depth interviews with ethnic migrant performers, this article argues that previous theorisat…

  • Friends are those who can help you out

    Jingyu Mao, Yan ZhuARTICLEFamilies Relationships and…2023Cited by: 2References: 14

    Based on lengthy ethnographic fieldwork in Southwest China, this article unpacks how precarity and migration have deeply shaped young migrant workers’ understanding and experiences of friendship. The precarious work and living conditions compel young migrants to put more emphasis on the instrumental aspects of friendship, in which they deeply value friends’ help and practical support, which also intertwine closely with the emotional aspects of fr…
