Reinventions of screens as temporal mixers
This paper advances a post-phenomenological approach to studying the digitalization of urban space and temporalities. Varying intentionality and subjectivation, post-phenomenology holds promise in how objects and digitality reorganize lifeworlds. Through digital mediations and techno-genesis, rhythms extend beyond human experiences to externalize and reconstitute temporality. Further, these rhythmic elements relationally form evolutionary organol…
Economic crises and youth civic–political participation
Economic crises have become a defining feature of youth experience worldwide, reshaping expectations, solidarities, and political engagement. Using cross-national panel data from 147 countries (2010-2019), this study examines the association between economic instability and youth civil-political participation (CPP). Across multiple fixed-effects and robustness models, the coefficients for economic crises remain consistently negative but statistic…
Vulgar livestreaming spectacle? Wanghong urbanism, digital platform and precarity in Laojie, Shenzhen
This study examines how Wanghong urbanism, the mediated and circulatory digital-urban spectacle along with digital platforms, reconfigures public life and cultural practices through street livestreaming.

Navigating between online and offline, public and private, bodily and digital, aspiration and p…

Borders of belonging
This paper investigates how state-led and popular nationalism in China construct borders as tools of exclusion, reinforcing national identity amidst global populist movements. Using the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as a case study, the analysis examines Global Times articles and corresponding user-generated content to reveal how geopolitical, ideological, and emotional borders are created and maintained through nationalist discourse. State-led …
Ramifications of cultural exports for cultural dynamics
This paper discusses the cultural implications of the assimilation of Hong Kong movie production in the process of China–Hong Kong coproductions. Local Hong Kong cultural products tend to be stripped of their local characteristics to cater to the Chinese market when prosperous businesses become based in China. Moreover, distinctive cultural resources in the Hong Kong movie industry, such as techniques, professionals, and intellectual property (IP…
The transforming Hong Kong polarized cultural identities
The view that national and local identical dichotomy in Hong Kong puts into sharp focus is revealed in the deep division of self-identification of Hong Kong citizen after the world-known Umbrella Movement. This paper connects this diverse identity formation to the relocation of Hong Kong cultural production and claims it as a logical consequence of the latter. This paper takes Hong Kong local comics as an example of cultural production for the an…
Reading border-crossing Japanese comics/anime in China
Differences in cultural consumption are well recognized as potential forces for changing the cultural identity of consumers. Based on this logic, our hypothesis posits that Chinese readers, who comprise the largest fan community of Japanese comics/anime, are culturally influenced by this foreign product. To examine this hypothesis, we question whether the global values and worldviews of freedom, peaceful coexistence, justice, companionship, and h…
Discourse and identity in the Hong Kong comic magazine Teddy Boy

Based on the textual analysis of a local comic, Teddy Boy, this article attempts to explore and examine the discursive culture and nature of Hong Kong identity. Based on du Gay et al.’s concept of the circuit …
