Gender Discourse on Chinese Social Media | Bingchun Meng

You are watching LSE Professor 𝗕𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗰𝗵𝘂𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝗴 discussing "Gender Discourse on Chinese Social Media - From Douban Feminism to PUA Tutorial". This virtual talk was hosted by the Manchester China Institute on Tuesday, 6 December 2022. ____________ 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 The past decade has witnessed an ascendance of feminist discourse on the Chinese Internet. Not only is the spectrum of feminist views expanding, but clashes and confrontations on gender issues are also on the rise- often triggering an anti-feminist backlash among netizens or political sanctions from the state. The cacophony online is mutually constitutive with the social transformation taking place in the offline life-world. While the concept of digital feminism usefully highlights the importance of technological affordance, it sometimes runs the risk of isolating the digital from the social. In this talk, Prof. Meng will make some preliminary attempts to develop a typology of online discourses related to gender issues in the Chinese context. Bearing in mind the dialectics of visibility/invisibility in mediated feminism, Prof Meng will tease out a few prominent themes from both feminist and anti-feminist camps and then contextualise those in relation to the broader structural change and cultural shifts in contemporary China.
