Artistic interventions: Art, community, and media in China and beyond
Artistic interventions in communities have become increasingly prevalent in the context of quality-led urbanization and rural revitalization in China over the past decade. These art practices reflect a narrative of resistance toward the institutionalization, professionalization, and marketization of contemporary art through direct interventions in social reality. Community is the most common site from which public aesthetic action and social acti…
Hype, Resistance, Power and Inequalities: Why Synthesizing Critical Perspectives Is Essential to AI Research
This article proposes an integrated theoretical framework combining critical political economy and cultural studies to analyze AI and its societal implications. While political economy illuminates the structural inequalities and power concentrations that characterize AI capitalism, cultural studies reveals how individuals and communities negotiate, resist, and find agency within these systems. The framework addresses the limitations of applying e…
Soft nationalism in China: The case of Hanfu style
The issue of nationalism has long attracted scholarly attention, focused primarily on the relationship between nationalism and modernity, and ‘hot’ and top-down forms of nationalism. In this article, we focus on what we call ‘soft nationalism’, which is a softly spoken yet highly affective and passionate form of ‘ground up’ nationalism frequently found in online participatory practice. Soft nationalism, we argue, is especially prevalent in China,…

From Hongkew Ghetto to Shanghai Ark: Rethinking representation in the (re)making of affective atmosphere during cultural regeneration
Music streaming platforms and self-releasing musicians: The case of China
A major development in the music industries in recent years has been the rise of ‘unsigned’ or ‘self-releasing’ musicians (sometimes problematically called ‘DIY musicians’ or ‘independent musicians’) who upload music directly to music streaming platforms (MSPs). This article examines the distinctive way in which Chinese MSPs have sought to incorporate such self-releasing musicians into their platform eco-systems and what it tells us about the way…
Downward trends in the global burden of congenital complete hearing loss in children younger than five years from 1990 to 2030

Soft nationalism and China: A case study of nationalism in short videos by US-Chinese rapper MC Jin
In this article we introduce the concept of soft nationalism through a case-study analysis of short videos by US-born rapper MC Jin (Jin Au-Yeung), who is of Chinese background. Jin's creative output, we argue, with its cross-cultural and grassroots invocations of Chinese identity, ethnicity, tradition, language and belonging, complicates existing theories of nationalism. To address these complications we develop the term ‘soft nationalism’, to d…
Too depleted to control yourself? Effect of customer mistreatment on after‐work maladaptive behaviours through self‐control capacity impairment
Drawing on self‐regulation theories, the current study examined the effect of the daily experience of customer mistreatment at work on three types of maladaptive behaviours after work (impulsive buying, overeating behaviours, and mobile phone overuse) through self‐control capacity impairment. Further, we investigated the moderating roles of two recovery activities at work (taking some time for relaxation and learning something new at work) on the…
Engaging With Objects and Feelings: The Making of Live Music Space in Shanghai’s Livehouses
Livehouse is a small venue for live music performance, a term commonly used in the Asian context. This article adopts an insider’s perspective to look at the connections between livehouse and its audiences. Instead of treating spaces and objects as silent textures of live music experiences, we regard livehouse as an active site filled with ideas and feelings. The meaning of livehouse is made by audiences through both human and non-human agents an…

De-Westernizing Punk: Chinese Punk Lyrics and the Translocal Politics of Resistance
Punk in China suffers from the stigma of inauthenticity and the dilemma of belatedness. That is, it comes ‘after’ the original punk moment in the West and is understood as derivative and therefore inauthentic. It does not follow, however, that in places that came ‘late’ to punk, such as China, punk is merely an echo of Western practice. Recent scholarship has embraced the concept of ‘global punk’, alongside projects to decolonize punk studies, to…
Institutional policing of western heritage: The case of Shanghai Symphony Museum
Previous studies have examined how popular music is preserved and curated. However, little is known when it comes to the more ‘high-brow' and institutionalized western classical music, especially in a non-western context. In this article, we look at Shanghai Symphony Museum, built and renewed from western urban heritage owned first by an upper-class elite, and then the government, co-managed by a property company in the metropolitan city, Shangha…

It investigates how the Tibet-China conflict was portrayed and represented in the British national daily newspapers across four research periods from 1949 to 2009. It examines the frames chosen by the press and the influence of the sources (especially external journalistic influence) reflected on the frame…
Everybody’s Donghu”: Artistic Resistance and the Reclaiming of Public Space in China
This paper presents a study of an artistic resistance project in China, “Everybody’s Donghu (East Lake),” held in 2010, 2012, and 2014 with the aim of intervening in the commercial development of an urban scenic space. It aims to demonstrate the practices of resistance in public spaces, particularly in the context of an authoritarian regime such as China, as opposed to democratic societies. First, the recent development of protest and forms of re…
The effects of lecturer commitment on student perceptions of teaching quality and student satisfaction in Chinese higher education
Student satisfaction has become an important concept in higher education because students are paying higher tuition fees and increasingly seeing themselves as customers and because satisfaction is commonly used as an indicator of quality by quality assurance agencies and the compilers of rankings and league tables. In business organisations, it has been established that employee commitment has a significant impact on employee performance and cust…

The biographical approach in (post-) subcultural studies: Exploring punk in China
While the biographical approach is widely employed in applied and theoretical social research, it is less fully developed in the specific field of (post-) subcultural studies. The article demonstrates the utility of the biographical method for (post) subcultural studies by presenting research on the punk phenomenon in an authoritarian social context within China. The discussion draws upon a qualitative study based on interviews with 34 Chinese pu…
