Stratified Mobile Parenting Capital
This study proposes the concept of mobile parenting capital, defined as the knowledge and capacities that parents draw upon to mobilise resources across spaces to support their parenting. Through interviews and observations with rural migrant worker parents, social workers and teachers in China, the study identifies three stratified parenting strategies: restrictive, reformist and radical. Restrictive parents possess limited digital resources and…
Technofeminism enclosed among females? Mediated motherhood and womanhood across three generations in patriarchal families
This study examines how technology (re)shapes maternal negotiations against the patriarchal structure of Chinese migrant families, investigating the impacts on females’ autonomy and their intergenerational relationships. Through in-depth interviews and ethnographic activities with rural-to-urban migrant mothers, their left-behind daughters, and the daughters’ grandmothers, the findings define an enclosed female relationship within domestic domain…
Digital Comparative Mobilities in Platform Economies
Platform economies are widely celebrated for expanding economic opportunities without requiring workers to relocate. This literature review draws on comparative mobilities scholarship, which conceptualizes mobility as an interdependent, life‐course–situated, and sociotechnically mediated process, to examine how women and people with disabilities (PWDs)—often presumed to benefit differently from digital work—are not merely users of platforms but a…
Digital-regional capital
This study proposes a Bourdieusian theory of digital-regional capital to explore the mediated bond between migrants and their hometowns, addressing an under-studied issue in the context of transregional mobility while filling a gap in the spatial dimension of prior digital capital studies. Focusing on the interplay among digital capital, internal migration, and the development of rural and inland regions in China, this research conducts interview…
Hometown Relations in WeChat Practice among Internal Migrants
This study explores how Chinese internal migrants utilise WeChat to sustain their hometown-based networks by rethinking the western concepts around social capital in the digitally driven modern Chinese society characterised by normalised population mobility. We highlight that WeChat is a highly converged digital tool that is embedded in Chinese people's everyday life and acts effectively as the central hub of individuals' overall social networks.…
Returning to and continuing the traditional Chinese family system via WeChat
This article rethinks digitally mediated family, contending that WeChat facilitates the integration of digitally mediated Chinese family units and family practices into an entire system within traditional patterns. WeChat can serve as the hub for this kind of family mediation, since it is the dominant mega-platform in the smartphone-based Chinese polymedia environment, possessing superior technological convergence and sociocultural affordances. B…
WeChat as the coordinator of polymedia
This article considers the ways in which the super-sticky all-in-one platform WeChat acts as the coordinator of a polymedia environment – and not just part of the polymedia environment – in mediating intercultural romantic relationships in the Greater Bay Area of China. Based on qualitative interviews, the article explores how WeChat coordinates a diverse range of digital communication tools for typical intercultural couples (Chinese women and fo…
