Precarious encounters: Queer politics and dispossessed straight men on a Chinese online forum
Throughout October 2025, Liulangba (Wanderers Forum), a popular online community among precarious rural migrants in China, was flooded with posts from destitute straight men seeking help from gay men, alongside offers of assistance from gay users in exchange for sex or companionship. This phenomenon marks a historical juncture where queer politics shaped by cosmopolitan aspirations during China’s era of economic ascent confronts emergent queer po…
Negotiating legitimacy without policy support: New speakers of Shanghainese in dialect revitalization
New speaker research has highlighted legitimacy struggles in language revitalisation, but has largely focused on European contexts with institutional support. This study examines new speakers of Shanghainese in a policy-absent urban setting where native-speakerist norms tie legitimacy to inherited identity and accent purity. Using a single-course case study analyzed through positioning theory, it shows how learners claim legitimacy through effort…

The participants cited multiple technological, discomfort, privacy, safety, an…
Just for Fun: Playfulness as Self-Entrapment among Elderly Working-Class Queer Men in Shanghai
This article investigates queer socializing among elderly working-class queer men in Shanghai through two ethnographic examples. The first concerns the men's parodic redeployment of socialist revolutionary repertoire. By framing it as 'just for fun', the men precluded a politics of resistance, but this frame sometimes exceeded itself when play became a critique of the state. The second example focuses on how the 'just for fun' frame constrains th…

The Classical Chinese Gardens as a Medium: Rethinking the Visual Transformation in Chinese Culture in the Twentieth Century
The enormous diversity between the Chinese and Western cultures led to two different visual principles. Western visuality followed the perspective based on the retina, while the Chinese painters used the "far and near method" (yuanjin fa 遠近法). Before the twentieth century, the representation and dissemination of Chinese gardens at the visual level were dominated by traditional landscape painting. However, the Chinese gardens' visual representatio…
Upregulation of DGCR8, a Candidate Predisposing to Schizophrenia in Han Chinese, Contributes to Phenotypic Deficits and Neuronal Migration Delay
DiGeorge Syndrome Critical Region Gene 8 (DGCR8) is a key component of the microprocessor complex governing the maturation of most microRNAs, some of which participate in schizophrenia and neural development. Previous studies have found that the 22q11.2 locus, containing DGCR8, confers a risk of schizophrenia. However, the role of DGCR8 in schizophrenia and the early stage of neural development has remained unknown. In the present study, we try t…

Understanding China’s Lote learners’ perceptions and choices of Lote(s) and English learning: A linguistic market perspective
This study examines how China’s LOTE (languages other than English) students perceive English and their target languages as different types of linguistic capital with different values, and how they exercise their agency as micro level LPP (language planning and policy) actors in language learning. Data were gathered from in-depth interviews with 35 university students (including Hindi, Persian and Thai learners) and analysed through the lens of i…
New Telecommunications and Residential Location Flexibility
Information and communications technologies are now used by a rapidly increasing number of people as means of spatial interaction. This has two major effects on transportation: (1) telecommunications partially substitute for travel to the workplace and to some other preexisting destinations; and (2) often indirectly, telecommunications stimulate new activities and generate extra travel. In this paper, I first develop an analytical framework for u…

Can a social robot be too warm or too competent? Older Chinese adults’ perceptions of social robots and vulnerabilities
Commentary: Directions in language planning from the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 crisis has touched all of us deeply. One way to take stock, as suggested by Florian Coulmas (personal communication) is to consider what has been the worst of the crisis? What has been the best? What do we hope for the future? As linguists, we might modify these questions to ask what has been the worst from a linguistic point of view? What has been the best? And what do we hope for the future in terms of language aspects of crisis co…
