Thirty years of the Internet in China: On writing Chinese Internet histories
This article introduces the special issue on “Thirty Years of the Internet in China.” The goal is to highlight insights and lessons which are particularly relevant to the burgeoning field of the study and writing of Chinese Internet histories. Through a careful review of the 24 articles in this special issue, we identify five clusters of analytical issues. They are (1) periodization and panoramic views, (2) texture and scale, (3) the digital ever…
A matter of time: The texture of China’s digital green public culture
On the 30th anniversary of China’s internet, this article is written in response to students’ concerns about the tangibility of public spheres in authoritarian contexts.

I start with empirical observations on recent contributions to C…
Museums in Motu in the Anthropocene: From Active Space to Spatial Actions

Pulling together threads from Heidegger and Chinese environmental philosophies, I redefine museum as spatial action with three entan…

China’s livestreaming industry: Platforms, Politics, and Precarity
This article examines conditions placing China’s livestreamers as central focal points in the increasing tensions between the cultural politics and economic ambitions of digital China. Framed by concerns around ‘platformization’, this research uses a creator-centric critical media industries studies perspective. Chinese livestreamers enjoy a greater degree of opportunity than their Western counterparts, including competing gameplay platforms that…
