Becoming Ye Xiu: Fictional celebrity and platformed fame in The King’s Avatar
In contemporary Chinese digital culture, celebrity increasingly exceeds the boundaries of the human. Fictional characters circulate across platforms with recognisable personas, sustained authority, and intense affective investment, functioning as celebrities despite their lack of physical existence.

Delving into the translator identity from a translingualism perspective: In the Palm of Darkness (1997)
The theory of translingualism has been well constructed in sociolinguistics, yet it has not been applied fully to the study of literary translation and translator identity. This paper attempts to analyze the English version of Mayra Montero’s Spanish novel In the Palm of Darkness ( 1997 ) within the framework of translingualism. Through the analysis of code-meshing and code-switching events, this article focuses on the identity construction of Ed…
Using digital canvas to facilitate student questioning in large lecture classes: A mixed-methods study
A lack of student questioning is faced by many universities, where a large lecture is a common practice. Emerging technologies bring about possibilities to fill this gap. This study followed constructivist learning theory and used a digital canvas as a Digital Question Board (DQB) for students to freely pose questions and respond using mobile technology. A mixed-methods study with a quasi-experiment was conducted to investigate its effect. The st…
Transforming practice chains through ideological objects: How plant-based meats impact consumers’ everyday food practices
This research investigates the impact of the introduction of plant-based meats (PBMs) on consumers' food practices. Based on the results of 21 in-depth interviews with consumers who use PBMs, this research uses practice theory to explore how the adoption of PBMs affects linked food practices and the meanings associated with these practices. We find that consumers adopt PBMs due to either a desire for meaning coherence or for practicality. Subsequ…

Preparing for Virtual Student Teaching: A Presence + Experience Design Case
The Impact of a Two-Step Choice Process on Trade-Off Decisions
Trade-offs between attributes are common when making product choices. Prior research suggests that consumers tend to avoid the extremes and opt for the middle options when they make a trade-off decision between two key product attributes (e.g., tastiness and healthiness of food items) in one step. In this research, we examine how consumers make such trade-off decisions in a two-step choice process in which consumers first choose between product c…

Effects of an immersive virtual reality‐based classroom on students’ learning performance in science lessons
The increased availability and development of immersive technologies have given students growing opportunities to engage in different educational subjects. However, there is a lack of empirical research exploring the educational influence of using Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) in science classrooms. To address this gap, this study developed a series of IVR‐based science lessons for middle‐school students and further examined these lessons’ effe…
Language, Gender, and Ideology: Media-induced Linguistic Innovation in Female Address Terms in China
As we enter the 21st century, we find ourselves living in intensified globalization, characterized by global cultural flows of people, technologies, money, images, and ideas (Appadurai 2020). Language is evolving in response to socio-cultural changes. As such, linguistic innovations via mass media offer a particularly interesting locus to track such global flows. This paper aims to study how popular lexicons in female address terms have emerged o…
Colour correct: The interactive effects of food label nutrition colouring schemes and food category healthiness on health perceptions
Objective The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of food label nutrition colouring schemes in interaction with food category healthiness on consumers’ perceptions of food healthiness. Three streams of colour theory (colour attention, colour association and colour approach-avoidance) in interaction with heuristic processing theory provide consonant predictions and explanations for the underlying psychological processes. Design…
