This article investigates Patty Morgan, a Dutch digital sales platform for emerging visual artists, founded in 2013 out of a dissatisfaction with capitalistic practices. The analysis is situated against the backdrop of the increasing financial struggles of small-scale galleries, which play a crucial role in promoting new artists, consequently threatening a loss of innovation. Patty Morgan’s goal was to generate cultural and economic value through scouting, promoting and mediating activities, all the while maintaining a fair, digital approach with supportive settings for artists. It can be seen as an atypical case of how idealistic entrepreneurs try to enable visual artists to capture more of the value they create. Using key elements of the Global Production Network approach, i.e. governance and embeddedness, this article investigates why Patty Morgan’s digital approach ultimately failed. Discussing the reasons behind Patty Morgan’s financial hardship helps grasp why scouting and promoting emerging artists is not financially rewarding within the current visual arts ecosystem, especially in relation to the Dutch sociocultural and institutional context. This article suggests that, for the purpose of safeguarding the visual arts industry, funding policy needs to be reconsidered and responsibility for demand needs to be further discussed.

A Writing Chance was launched in June 2021 as a new talent development programme open to aspiring writers from under-represented backgrounds. The programme aimed to offer a positive intervention, designed to discover new talent, support writers from under-represented backgrounds to break into the UK creative industries, and empower UK publishers and editors to represent a broader range of perspectives in commercial outputs. Levering resources, experiences and capacity, the programme mobilised an innovative model of partnership working to explore what happens when cross-sector organisations come together to tackle a shared challenge. This article explores the origin story of the programme, its activities and impacts from launch to publication, and offers recommendations on how we can take the legacies of this work forwards to offer others the writing chance that is needed now more than ever in a post-pandemic world.

AbstractThis paper critically unpacks the reinvigoration of mythological narratives with traditional Chinese cultural elements on 哔哩哔哩Bilibili using the animated series 中国奇谭 Zhongguo Qitan ‘Yao-Chinese Folktales’, specifically focusing on the narrative 小妖怪的夏天 Xiao Yaoguai De Xiatian ‘Nobody’ (Lit. ‘A Little Monster’s Summer’) as the case study. The article explores Bilibili’s unique digital ecosystem and user-generated content, shedding light on how they shape the reinterpretation and recreation of narratives with traditional Chinese cultural elements. An in-depth analysis is conducted on various fan-maderecreations, from alternative endings to fan videos, critically examining how audiences connect with ‘Nobody’ through nostalgic personal memories, societal commentary and creative expression. This study seeks to reconcile the divide between participatory culture and mythological storytelling. By doing so, it underscores the significant role that digital platforms, like Bilibili, play in reinvigorating narratives with traditional Chinese cultural elements. The research findings unveil innovative insights beneficial for stakeholders seeking to gain traction in the Chinese market through culturally attuned content. More than just underlining the transformative influence of these digital platforms, the study also contributes to the ongoing discourse on the need for more diverse narratives in global storytelling, as opposed to the ‘universal’ paradigms centred on the Hero’s Journey perpetuated from the West. Ultimately, this article provides a nuanced understanding of the elements that resonate with audiences within the Chinese sociocultural context.Keywords: Bilibiliuser-generated contentnarratives with traditional Chinese cultural elementsreinterpretationrecreationstorytellingcultural resonancedigital platforms Disclosure statementThe authors confirm that there is no conflict of interest.Notes1 See above for our detailed explanation of the Bilibili platform.2 All comments in this paper are translated from Chinese into English by the authors.3 PUA, an acronym for Pick-up Artist, originally denotes heterosexual men’s self-identification for being sexually successful with women (Strauss Citation2005; Baker Citation2013).

AbstractThis纸批判性解包的神话故事与中国传统文化元素在哔哩哔哩Bilibili使用动画系列中国奇谭中国Qitan Yao-Chinese民间故事,特别专注于叙述小妖怪的夏肖天Yaoguai De Xiatian“没有人”(点燃。“小怪物的夏天”)作为案例研究。本文探讨了Bilibili独特的数字生态系统和用户生成内容，揭示了它们如何塑造具有中国传统文化元素的叙事的重新诠释和再创造。深入分析了各种粉丝创作，从另类结局到粉丝视频，批判性地审视了观众如何通过怀旧的个人记忆、社会评论和创造性表达与“Nobody”联系起来。本研究试图调和参与性文化与神话叙事之间的鸿沟。通过这样做，它强调了像Bilibili这样的数字平台在重振具有中国传统文化元素的叙事方面所发挥的重要作用。研究结果揭示了创新的见解，有利于利益相关者寻求通过符合文化的内容在中国市场获得牵引力。这项研究不仅强调了这些数字平台的变革性影响，还有助于讨论在全球叙事中需要更多样化的叙事，而不是以西方英雄之旅为中心的“通用”范式。最后，本文提供了对在中国社会文化背景下引起观众共鸣的元素的细致理解。关键词:bilibilib用户生成内容中国传统文化元素叙事再解读娱乐讲故事文化共鸣数字平台披露声明作者确认不存在利益冲突注1我们对哔哩哔哩平台的详细说明见上文本文中所有评论均由作者翻译成英文PUA是Pick-up Artist的首字母缩略词，最初指的是异性恋男性在与女性发生性行为方面取得成功的自我认同(Strauss Citation2005;贝克Citation2013)。PUA的概念是在2000年代传入中国的，然而它随后堕落为纯粹的性行为，甚至是泯灭女性自尊的情感操纵技术(Xu and Yao Citation2019;周Citation2019;Zhao and Lu citation(2021)。在工作环境中，PUA是剥削、欺凌和压制的同义词，有时是广义上的情感虐待。其他资料:投稿人王saiqing, dr。王爱青是利物浦大学的高级讲师。她的作品曾发表在《全球媒体》、《中国与亚洲研究》等杂志上。托马斯·威廉·怀克Thomas William Whyke，中国宁波诺丁汉大学助理教授。他的作品发表在《同性恋杂志》、《性与文化》、《动画》、《全球媒体与中国》、《女性主义媒体研究》、《人文与社会科学传播》、《亚洲研究》等期刊上。李维DeanDr。李维·迪恩是中国宁波诺丁汉大学的助理教授。他的作品曾出现在《编剧杂志》和《新写作》等杂志上。
