Generative AI So White
This study investigates racial biases in AI-generated occupational images across models developed in the United States and China. Situated at the intersection of human–AI communication and postcolonial theory, we conceptualize generative AI as an active participant in science communication that shapes visual knowledge and racial representation within a global postcolonial order. Constructing a dataset of 9,600 images generated by four models (GPT…
Hybrid Identity in Motion
This study investigates the cross-cultural visual self-presentation of skier Eileen Gu, a U.S.-born athlete who migrated competitively to represent China at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. While previous scholarship has examined how sports media construct nationalistic and gendered narratives around athletes, little attention has been paid to how athletes themselves negotiate these identities through visual self-presentation on social media. Dr…
Justice for @birdy
This study investigates the queer counterpublics on Douyin that call for social justice on LGBTQ rights. By revealing Douyin’s affective affordances to produce queer counterpublics through censorship, we propose a framework that explains how queer counterpublics navigate user–state tensions and balance affect with strategy in a dynamic discursive space. Based on our large-scale Douyin video dataset, we analyze 102,031 videos from 90,901 accounts …
“When I’m in China, I’m Chinese”
Past studies have shown how Olympic media influence audiences’ nationalistic attitudes, yet the mechanism of constructing nationalism through sport-media events remains unclear since a key factor is missing—the athlete. Drawing on social identity and postcolonial theories, I examine how Olympic media impacted Chinese audiences’ nationalistic attitudes during the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, particularly regarding Eileen Gu, who switches fro…
Living with Covid-19 conspiracies on Chinese TikTok (Douyin)
Learning to Live with Covid-19
The spread of misinformation has historically been attributed to emotions, thinking styles, biases, and predispositions, but only a few studies have explored the conditions influencing its prevalence. The Theory of Informative Fictions (TIF) addresses this gap by presenting propositions that predict the conditions under which misinformation is tolerated and promoted. Building on the literature on TIF and deep learning, we uncover how property mes…
When transcultural fandom meets nationalism
This study investigates the identity negotiation of Chinese cosplayers within the tensions between transcultural fandom and nationalism. Grounded in Manuel Castells’ concepts of space of flows and space of places, we propose a framework that distinguishes between the cognitive and behavioral dimensions of identity negotiation. The cognitive dimension captures cosplayers’ engagement with global fandom through digital platforms; the behavioral dime…
