The Good, Bad, and Ugly in Social Virtual Reality
Social virtual reality (VR) platforms have unleashed new possibilities to reimagine Marshall McLuhan's classic idea of the 'global village' in the digital era. We situated our inquiry in the case of identity negotiation between Chinese mainlanders and diasporas in VRChat, a popular social VR platform. Through a 2-year-long digital ethnography and interviews, this study revealed how Chinese mainlanders and those living abroad have confronted, sepa…
What HMC Teaches Us About Authenticity
This paper delves into what the application of authenticity to Human-Machine Communication (HMC) can teach us about authenticity and us as HMC researchers and as a com- munity. Inspired by the 2023 pre-conference “HMC: Authenticity in communicating with machines,” two central questions guide the discussion: How does HMC contribute to our understanding of authentic communication with machines? And how can the concept of authenticity contribute to …
Cooptation, hijacking, or normalization? The discursive concession of body politics on Douyin
The short-video platform TikTok/Douyin becomes a space not only for individuals to express and articulate their interests, but also for the authorities to negotiate with the public on various ideological boundaries. This article specifically examines a Douyin campaign in which the platform attempts to prescribe a standard of body exposure that falls within the tolerance level of the authorities and, meanwhile, favours users’ interests to gain sup…
How language usage affects sojourners’ psychological well-being in a trilingual society
Quantitative research on the linguistic acculturation of sojourners in non-Western and multilingual social contexts remains scarce. Revising the Framework of Acculturation Variables (FAV), we propose a parsimonious model exploring the effect of acculturation conditions (trilingual language usage and perceived discrimination), orientations (social connectedness to mainstream and minority community), and outcome (psychological well-being). In parti…
Loving a “defiant” AI companion? The gender performance and ethics of social exchange robots in simulated intimate interactions
Compelled TikTok creators? The ambivalent affordances of the short video app for Filipino musicians
This study is concerned with the incorporation of TikTok by Filipino musicians in their performances, promotion strategies, and other career-related endeavors. As the music artists are compelled, whether consciously or otherwise, to adhere to the logics of the platform, we critically evaluate its implications on their experiences as creative workers. As revealed, the use of TikTok by Filipino musicians fosters the construction of a new cultural l…
An Algorithmically Woven Community
Nowadays, algorithms are extensively used on social platforms for content recommendations and user connections. In this study, through semi-structured interviews with 22 China-based users of RED (i.e., an algorithm-mediated platform similar to TikTok), we investigate how users who have experienced mental illnesses (depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder) understand RED algorithms and how these algorithms shape their self-disclosure, imagined a…
Mobile communication research in 15 top-tier journals, 2006–2020
Benefiting from the smartphone turn in wireless telecommunication, studies about mobile telephony have continued to grow in the 3/4G era. To explore the growth trends in the 3/4G era, and what and how mobile media are studied, the present study analyzes patterns and trends of mobile communication research in 512 articles published in 15 top-ranked communication journals from 2006 to 2020. Findings indicate that mobile communication research has g…
A “soul” emerges when AI, AR, and Anime converge
By converging 3A—artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and anime culture, a new type of non-naturalistic and stylized anthropomorphism has been exercised on the latest hologram social robot—“Hupo.” By combining scopes of human–machine communication and cultural studies, this study investigated how this 3A convergence constructed the user experience of Hupo. Through in-depth interviews with 25 users, we revealed their expected expe…
Social Robots as the Bride? Understanding the Construction of Gender in a Japanese Social Robot Product
This study critically investigates the construction of gender on a Japanese hologram animestyle social robot Azuma Hikari. By applying a mixed method merging the visual semiotic method and heterogeneous engineering approach in software studies, the signs in Azuma Hikari’s anthropomorphized image and the interactivity enabled by the multimedia interface have been analyzed and discussed. The analysis revealed a stereotyped representation of a Japan…
