Navigating co-ethnic boundaries in the Global East
This article examines the migration narratives of Taiwanese women married to Chinese Singaporean men, analyzing their experiences through the lens of the “emotional–linguistic regime” in the Global East. Challenging prevalent Global North/South migration models, we draw on thirty-eight in-depth interviews to explore how hierarchy is constructed in the absence of explicit socio-economic disparities. We argue that “hypergamous positioning” is manuf…
Gendering grassrootscapes
Women of the lower working-class in Shanghai are seemingly invisible in Chinese urban scholarship. Drawing on fieldwork conducted between 2017 and 2021 in Shanghai, this article sheds light on the social lives of lower working-class women dwelling in the Workers' New Villages in the wake of rapid urbanization. Mounting a threefold conceptual exploration of grassroots urbanism, genderscapes, and guanxi (social connectivity), the article develops a…
Imagining accidental fetal citizens
This essay looks at the mobility of pregnant Mainland women in Hong Kong to expose the reverberations of the SAR government's immigration policies relating to cross-border birth tourism. Pregnant Mainland women and their children (fetuses), as emergent social subjects, embody conflict and the negotiation between population governance and economic benefits. The government denies pregnant Mainland women the right to give birth in Hong Kong based on…
Social Constructionism
Social constructionism, the social construction of reality, is an umbrella term accentuating difference, situatedness, and positionality in knowledge production, which has had a far‐reaching influence on the contemporary social science and humanities fields, geography included. Contentions surrounding the theoretical validity and political potential of social constructionism are extensively associated with the notion of discourse variously adopte…
Culture Governance of the New Economic Human
In this essay we argue that stories of rich merchants enable us to see new forms of neoliberal subject imaginary. They serve to teach the public about how to become a profit-seeking person, given that previously formal education did not prepare citizens of the People's Republic of China (PRC) to pursue profit. These popular materials invite the public to reconceptualize the relationship between individuals and society and in this sense constitute…
The cosmopolitan imaginary and flexible identities of global city‐regions
Given the broad consensus among academic geographers that a new matrix of global city‐regions is on the rise, this paper attempts to show how urban linkage has become not only a social reality that produces various cosmopolitan identities but a discursive framework for the formulation and articulation of these identities so as to reproduce the urban networks. With a particular emphasis on the 'imaginary of identity' and its problems, I will explo…
