PACESETTERS is a research project that brings together partners and places, creative practice and researchperspectives that are out of the ordinary: climate scientists and artistic entrepreneurs, difficult heritages and whitewashedvillages, psychometrically validated surveys and circular aesthetics. In this article we explore the key concepts underpinningPACESETTERS to not just adapt to but drive the transition into more just and sustainable econ…
Influencers as emerging actors in global digital propaganda
This article conceptualizes the emerging phenomenon of ‘influencer propaganda’, which we define as the various persuasive, strategic communicative actions by social media influencers that promote political and ideological agendas through popular content and emotional appeals, with the intent to affect behaviour and belief among their followers. The current discussion of such practices frequently reproduces a dichotomy of ‘illegitimate’ vs ‘legiti…
AI Imaginaries in Asia
This introduction to the Asiascape: Digital Asia special issue on AI imaginaries in Asia discusses how people imagine the role of technology in their societies. It reviews how scholarship has made sense of such 'social imaginaries' and their relevance before proposing that research move beyond dominant epistemologies and socio-technical imaginaries to examine Asia as a site for technological innovation and alternative futures. It asks how actors …
Sorting and Wage Premiums in Immoral Work
We use surveys, laboratory experiments and administrative data to study how heterogeneity in the perceived immorality of work and in workers' aversion to acting immorally impact labor market outcomes. Immoral work is associated with higher wages, both in administrative data and in causal experimental evidence. Individuals more willing to engage in immoral conduct find employment in firms and industries perceived as immoral less aversive and have …
Nationalisms on China’s evolving internet
As China’s internet has matured, from its initial web-based origins through innovative ‘2.0’ and ‘3.0’ innovations, so too have the community sentiments that criss-cross the People’s Republic of China’s networked society. A perennial issue has been the question of how Chinese nationhood has been constructed and reproduced through digital technologies and how the evolving affordances of internet technology have contributed to China’s many national…
The Shape of the Asiascape
This article reviews a decade of research, published in the journal Asiascape: Digital Asia ( DIAS ), that explored the question of how digital technologies and their usage have shaped – and have been shaped by – societies, politics, and economies across the Asian region. It discusses the kind of scholarship that DIAS has published, and on which topics, before giving an overview of the contributions that form this anniversary issue. The article c…
Reality Decoupling
This article explores what conflicts over information and meaning-making in digital Asia can tell us about politics in advanced networked societies, using examples from East Asia. It interprets the construction and spread of unverified information as part of near-ubiquitous political practices that threaten to lead to a decoupling of realities. The article makes the case that digital Asia is a crucial site for researching such practices: Asian so…
Hong Kong's Networked Agitprop
Hong Kong's protest movements have created a repertoire of symbolism in artworks and artefacts that make statements about the political status of the city. This article analyses the protest art that emerged during the 2019 anti-extradition protests. We explore how actors produced a sense of “Hong Kong-ness” and distributed political meanings through networked agitprop: a form of strategic communication that links people and ideas together in both…
Tracking the Rise of Robots
We present and analyze the dataset on the international distribution of industrial robots by country, industry, and application provided by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) since 1993. After describing the IFR we point out specificities and limitations of its dataset. We explain the process of data collection, develop a correspondence table between the IFR industry classification and the ISIC rev. 4 industry classification, and clar…
Repronormativität und reproduktive Gerechtigkeit – eine interdisziplinäre Analyse zur Fortpflanzung im Kontext von Trans
Einleitung Im Kontext von Trans gewinnen Fragen zur Reproduktion seit etwa zwei Jahrzehnten zunehmend an Bedeutung. Dabei geht es um Kinderwunsch und Fertilitätserhalt sowie um Schwangerschaft, Geburt und Elternschaft. Einflussreich sind hier jedoch nicht nur die reproduktionsmedizinischen Möglichkeiten, sondern auch die repronormativ geprägten Barrieren, die trans und nicht-cis Personen in unserer Gesellschaft daran hindern, ihren Kinderwunsch z…
Emergent nationalism in China's sociotechnical networks
Nationalism today interacts in complicated ways with advanced information and communication systems, regularly leading to unanticipated consequences. Popular online nationalism in the People's Republic of China (PRC) is a case in point: In the PRC, digital nationalism has become a central feature of political discourse and decision‐making, at times powerfully shaping the state's policy efforts. This article explores a missing puzzle piece in how …
Global Perspectives on China's Belt and Road Initiative
The year 2013 saw the launch of the largest, most influential investment initiative in recent memory: China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This globe-spanning strategy has reshaped local economies and regional networks, and it has become a contested subject for scholars and practitioners alike. How should we make sense of the complex interactions that the BRI has enabled? Understanding these processes requires truly global perspectives alongsi…

Trip chain complexity
This paper studies the relationship between trip chain complexity and daily travel behaviour of travellers. While trip chain complexity is conventionally investigated between travel modes, our scope is the more aggregated level of a person’s activity-travel pattern. Using data from the Netherlands Mobility Panel, a latent class cluster analysis was performed to group people with similar mode choice behaviour in distinct mobility pattern classes. …
China’s viral villages
When the COVID-19 virus broke out in China, foreign observers speculated whether the Chinese leadership was facing its ‘Chernobyl Moment’. China’s leadership, however, defied foreign expectations about its ostensibly floundering legitimacy and instead turned the crisis into a national success story. This article explores the role that digital media played in cementing this success, specifically how various actors mobilized nationalist sentiments …
Covid-19 nationalism and the visual construction of sovereignty during China's coronavirus crisis
This article explores how competing actors established, spread, and challenged visual representations of the Chinese nation during the COVID-19 pandemic. It asks: how do official gatekeepers of meaning in China imbue their visual construction of a crisis-hit nation with pathos?; and what happens when their critics utilize the resulting repertoire of visual cues for their own ends? To answer these questions, the article first examines the visual l…
Fertilitätsprotektion bei Mann-zu-Frau trans Personen
Wir stimmen dem in der Leitlinie genannten starken Konsens für Maßnahmen der Reproduktionsmedizin als wichtige Option zur Erfüllung des Kinderwunsches bei trans Personen uneingeschränkt zu. Informationen über diese Maßnahmen müssen Bestandteil von Behandlungen von trans Personen sein. Die geschlechtsangleichende Hormontherapie bei Mann-zu-Frau trans Personen hat jedoch einen negativen Einfluß auf die Spermatogenese. Der Erfolg der Fertilitätsprot…
Latent classes of daily mobility patterns
Active modes (i.e. walking and cycling) have received significant attention by governments worldwide, due to the benefits related to the use of these modes. Consequently, governments are aiming for a modal shift from motorised to active modes. Attitudes are generally considered to play an important role in travel behaviour. Understanding the relationship between the attitude towards modes and the daily mobility pattern, can support policies that …
Digital Activism in Asia
This article introduces the special issue on ‘Digital Activism’ by exploring some of the trends in social media activism and scholarship thereof. The authors ask to what extent this literature helps us understand Asian forms of online activism, which forms of activism have relatively done well, and whether Asian activism requires its own theorizing. Most of all, it is a plea for a careful and ethnographically informed approach to digital activism…
The cultural governance of China’s mass media events
In the People’s Republic of China (PRC), politics are today defined not primarily by the coercive forces that the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) can wield to rule the country, but more frequently by the Party’s ability to manage political discourses in ways that make it unnecessary to use this arguably substantial capacity for force. The CCP today governs by appealing to citizens to cooperate, by justifying and explaining its rule publicly,…
Staging China. The Politics of Mass Spectacle
In this volume Florian Schneider shows how mass media events fit into the political, economic, and cultural developments in China. Through expert interviews and empirical studies of production backgrounds and media contents, Schneider explores the communication strategies that informed the Beijing Olympics, the Shanghai Expo, and the 60th Anniversary of the PRC. The book discusses what the implications but also the limits of these strategies migh…
Digital Smartness
This introduction to the Asiascape: Digital Asia special issue on ‘smart communities’ discusses how new technologies have created a paradigm of ‘smartness’ that informs how innovators, entrepreneurs, policy makers, and administrators imagine sociality in urban spaces. This is visible in plans for turning Singapore, Hong Kong, or Taipei into ‘smart cities’, and countries such as India, Japan, and South Korea are similarly rolling out initiatives t…
Digital China’s Hyperlink Networks
Chapter 4 continues the analysis of China’s web by discussing what the social and political meanings of hyperlinks might be, how power works in networked structures, and what ‘issue networks’ on the web can tell us about digital ecologies. It also discusses how linking practices work in China’s web spaces, showing how the websites that deal with the two cases of the Nanjing Massacre and the Diaoyu Islands make only limited use of the web’s intera…
The User-Generated Nation
Chapter 7 turns to user-generated content, social media, and ‘Web 2.0’ technologies in digital China’s message boards and comment sections. The cases of the Nanjing Massacre and the Diaoyu Islands then show that online commentaries often provide a nuanced picture of how to make sense of Sino-Japanese relations, and yet the overarching discursive patterns combine with digital mechanisms such as ‘likes’ and algorithmic popularity rankings to push t…

Smartphones as digital companions
Based on the idea of computers constituting social agents and referring to core characteristics of human–human relationships, this study introduces the concept of a digital companionship between smartphone users and their devices. Constituting characteristics (closeness, trust, preoccupation) and outcomes (stress, coping with stress) of social relationships were adapted to yield a model of human–smartphone relationships for empirical testing. A c…
The Sichuan Earthquake and the Heavenly Mandate
In the aftermath of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, the Chinese authorities launched a major public relations campaign to relay positive images of their relief effort and strengthen their political legitimacy. The effect has been a proliferation of symbols and political statements related to the disaster, not only in the official media, but also in cultural products such as movies or mass-media events. The earthquake has become part of the discourse…
Mediated Massacre
On China's web, networked actors ranging from state agencies to private Internet users engage in highly active online discourse. Yet as diverse as this discourse may be, political content remains highly regulated, particularly on issues that affect the legitimacy of the ruling party. A prominent issue in this regard has been modern Chinese history, particularly the "national humiliation" that Japan inflicted on China's populace during events like…
China’s ‘info-web’

Yet as diverse as this discourse may be, political content on China’s web remains highly regulated, particularly on issues affecting the legitimacy of the ruling party. A prominent issue in this regard has been the conflict-laden relationship with Japan. This article asks how Chinese websites shape online discourse on…

Reconceptualising world order
At the outset of the twenty-first century, the world is facing a range of problems, including environmental, economic, and security risks, that increasingly challenge the logic of nation-state governance. While American and European models of International Relations and global governance, such as the Westphalian system of states and the Washington Consensus, have come under attack from poststructuralist thinkers, political philosophers from China…

Revisiting the Emancipatory Potential of Digital Media in Asia – Introduction to the Inaugural Issue of Asiascape
This introduction to the inaugural issue of Asiascape: Digital Asia reviews the debates about the impact that digital media have on culture, society, economics, and politics. The ubiquity of digital technology in various parts of the world has prompted questions about whether the ability to connect on a near-global scale with potentially billions of users has an emancipatory or even democratizing effect. In other words: are personal computers, sm…

Searching for ‘Digital Asia’ in its Networks
This article examines how digital methods can provide a way to search for ‘Digital Asia’ in its networks, interfaces, and media contents. Using the example of higher education institutions in Beijing, Hong Kong, and Taipei, the paper explores how search engines, institutional homepages, and hyperlink networks provide access into the workings and representations of academia online. The article finds that even a seemingly cosmopolitan endeavour suc…

The Dynamics of Digital Play in Asia
Digital gaming is one of the most popular pastimes when it comes to digital media usage, and it often outranks other digital activities, such as reading online news, searching for information, listening to music, or streaming movies. While watching television programmes and films is still among the most popular cultural activities around the world, digital gaming has progressively become one of the most dynamic digital cultures, particularly for …
Modernisierung und Reserve
Der Band entwirft Umrisse einer neuen Literaturgeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die Aktualität des 19. Jahrhunderts geht weit über die geteilten Erfahrungen radikaler Modernisierungsschübe, sozialer Unsicherheiten und globaler Erschließungsbewegungen hinaus. Sie betrifft die Genese neuer Artikulationsformen politischen Selbstbewusstseins und gesellschaftlicher Vorstellungsbildungen, sie erfasst die Wechselwirkungen zwischen politischen Entwürfen,…

Conclusion
The concluding chapter of China’s Digital Nationalism retraces the central findings and arguments of the book. It first summarizes how digital discourses are managed in China today, and it then asks what implications digital nationalism has for the PRC and its regional relations. Following this discussion on East Asia, the chapter turns to more general findings about imagined communities and networked societies, and it summarizes how nationalism …
Selling Sovereignty on the Web
Chapter 6 examines the East China Sea dispute on China’s web. This includes an analysis of the official Chinese Diaoyu Islands website, but also of various military news portals and the web presence of non-governmental advocacy groups. While the issue is more dynamic, and notably involves more commercial actors, than the Nanjing Massacre case of the previous chapter, Chinese sites nevertheless fall back on traditional mass-media scripts. The anal…
Nationalism and Its Digital Modes
Chapter 2 discusses nations and nationalism in the digital age. It reviews how scholars have made sense of nationalism in the past, and it argues that the most useful way to view nations and nationalism is as modern technologies. It makes the case, as scholars like Benedict Anderson and Michael Billig have done before, that human beings ‘imagine’ nations, and that they do so largely through communication practices. To understand these communicati…
The Mediated Massacre
This chapter turns to the Nanjing Massacre on China’s web and discusses how digital resources allow national communities to collectively ‘remember’ their past. The analysis of these processes starts with the online encyclopaedias that China’s major search companies maintain online. How do these information repositories present knowledge on the Nanjing Massacre? Next, the chapter discusses the discourses that websites on this issue construct and t…
China's Digital Nationalism
China’s Digital Nationalism explores online networks and their nationalist discourses in digital China. It asks what happens to national community sentiments when they go digital. Nationalism, in China as much as elsewhere, is today shared through digital information and communication technologies. It is adopted, filtered, transformed, enhanced, and accelerated through digital networks, and it interacts in complicated ways with nationalism ‘on th…
