ABSTRACTVisual political communication in the social media sphere is increasingly valuable for its ability to more effectively persuade viewers in this increasingly cluttered media landscape. Using multi-model discourse analysis and following the theoretical framework of Everyday Politics, this study focuses on a random sample (N = 200) of user-generated Internet memes from Chinese national youth propaganda campaign Youth Study. In addition, the author observed the sharing and dissemination of these memes in online public discussions. The findings reveal that young participants maintain a varying distance from politics. They employ strategies such as dark humor, hyperbole, contrast, and appropriation of pop culture to portray two key roles – the charming, brilliant followers and the abandoned, hunted breakers, and to construct four main scenarios-cute threat, humble beg, funny politics, and veiled resistance. This politicized propaganda campaign is being transformed from state aspirations to the creative daily cultural consumption of young netizens. This analysis contributes to the scholarly literature on youth subcultures, political mobilization, and visual propaganda in post-socialist China.KEYWORDS: Youth studyCCYLInternet memesvisual communicationpolitical communication Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the project of digital dissemination of cultural IP of the Palace Museum (China Youth Development Foundation and Mercedes-Benz Starwish Star Fund) and the Major National Social Science Fund of China [grant number 18ZDA312].Notes on contributorsJie CuiJie Cui is a Ph.D. candidate of journalism and communication at the School of Media & Communication (SMC), Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

摘要社交媒体领域的视觉政治传播因其在日益混乱的媒体环境中更有效地说服观众的能力而越来越有价值。本研究采用多模型话语分析,遵循日常政治的理论框架,对中国全国青年宣传活动“青年研究”中用户生成的网络模因进行随机抽样(N = 200)研究。此外,作者还观察了这些模因在网络公共讨论中的分享和传播。调查结果显示,年轻的参与者与政治保持着不同的距离。他们运用黑色幽默、夸张手法、对比手法和对流行文化的借鉴,塑造了两个关键角色——魅力四射、才华横溢的追随者和被抛弃、被追捕的破坏者,并构建了四个主要场景——可爱的威胁、卑微的乞求、有趣的政治和隐蔽的抵抗。这种政治化的宣传活动正在从国家愿望转变为年轻网民的创造性日常文化消费。这一分析有助于研究后社会主义中国青年亚文化、政治动员和视觉宣传的学术文献。关键词:青年研究网络模因视觉传播政治传播披露声明作者未发现潜在利益冲突。本工作得到故宫博物院文化知识产权数字化传播项目(中国青少年发展基金、奔驰星愿之星基金)和国家重大社会科学基金[批准号18ZDA312]的支持。作者简介崔洁,上海交通大学传媒与传播学院新闻与传播学博士研究生。她的研究兴趣包括政治传播和流行文化[email: 251232215@qq.com]。

This article analyzes how platformization and infrastructuralization are currently reshaping the educational sector by engaging in ‘sphere transgressions’, resulting in the merging of a local and national public sector into a transnational and global digital market. It elaborates on the adaptive learning application Bingel as a case-in-point to exemplify how sphere transgressions are conducive to data accumulation across national markets and sectors into transnational and global data infrastructures. Zooming in on these processes as ‘sphere transgressions’ we ask: how are local student data becoming prime assets in the global flow of digital resources? How does this benefit the financial basis of tech firms rather than serving the need for openness and transparency of educational institutions? The conclusion expands on the implications of these sphere transgressions for the future of national education as a public good.
本文分析了平台化和基础设施化如何通过“领域越界”来重塑教育部门,从而导致地方和国家公共部门合并为跨国和全球数字市场。它详细阐述了自适应学习应用Bingel作为一个案例,以举例说明领域越界如何有助于跨国家市场和部门的数据积累进入跨国和全球数据基础设施。将这些过程放大为“领域越界”,我们会问:本地学生的数据如何成为全球数字资源流动中的主要资产?这如何有利于科技公司的财务基础,而不是满足教育机构开放和透明的需求?结论扩展了这些领域越轨对作为公共产品的国家教育的未来的影响。

Challenging the legacy of the past and present intimate colonialization – a study of Ugandan LGBT+ activism in times of shrinking communicative space 挑战过去和现在亲密殖民的遗产——在交流空间缩小的时代对乌干达LGBT+活动的研究

ABSTRACT Through a mixed-methods approach consisting of a directed content analysis of five established LGBT+ organizations’ use of Twitter and Facebook during a month in 2022, and semi-structured qualitative interviews with social media content producers, the study attempts to understand the role of self-controlled social media spaces in challenging the Uganda society’s logics of oppression. The results indicate that self-controlled spaces are not used for disrupting the basis for repression – the local logic of oppression – or its cocoon of collective post-colonial amnesia. Nor were spaces used for re-constructive engaging with transnational and development partners’ unwitting impact on global south actors’ agency and legitimacy. Instead, with a few exceptions, spaces displayed a conspicuous uniform human rights advocacy rhetoric, and Western identity labels summarized in the LGBT+ acronym. The interviews with social media content producers suggest that the LGBT+ community’s dependency on international support may sway actors into what we call performative visibility, in self-controlled spaces. The study concludes that future analysis of Global South based activist’s use of social media spaces’ affordances including its potential for supporting de-colonialization efforts, must approach use as relational to actors’ dependency on key resources such as funding and protection through affiliation.
本研究采用混合方法,包括对五个已建立的LGBT+组织在2022年一个月内使用Twitter和Facebook的直接内容分析,以及对社交媒体内容生产者的半结构化定性访谈,试图了解自我控制的社交媒体空间在挑战乌干达社会压迫逻辑方面的作用。结果表明,自我控制的空间并没有被用来破坏压迫的基础——压迫的本地逻辑——或者它的集体后殖民失忆茧。也没有将空间用于重建参与跨国和发展伙伴对全球南方行动者的能动性和合法性的不知情影响。相反,除了少数例外,空间表现出明显的统一的人权倡导言论,西方的身份标签概括为LGBT+首字母缩略词。对社交媒体内容制作人的采访表明,LGBT+群体对国际支持的依赖可能会影响演员在自我控制的空间里,进入我们所说的表演能见度。该研究的结论是,未来对全球南方活动家使用社交媒体空间的分析,包括其支持去殖民化努力的潜力,必须将其与行动者对关键资源(如资金和通过从属关系获得的保护)的依赖关系联系起来。

The unhomed data subject: negotiating datafication in Latin America 无主数据主体:拉丁美洲的谈判数据化

ABSTRACT Critical scholarship about datafication reveals the implications of algorithmically driven digital transformations for both social processes and human experiences of subjectivity. Digital transformations embed ontological beliefs in the information systems that drive new organizational processes and are accompanied by techno-positivist discourses that promote the benefits of these schemes. The dual power of new information systems plus strong discursive influences has led to fears that data subjects will come to be defined by data and information systems – that their subjectivity will be subordinated by the algorithm. However, in this paper, we argue that real experiences of data sharing offer a means to reveal actual experiences with subjectification, and that often these experiences are multiple and complex. Drawing on the results of five digital literacy interventions carried out by partner organizations in Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay in 2021, we consider participants’ lived experiences with datafication. Our work reveals how people experience, negotiate, reject, and accept data power’s multiple manifestations in ways that strategically mobilize data resources, constituting a fractured data subjectivity that overlaps the bounds of any one information system. This leads us to suggest the idea of the ‘unhomed’ as a useful concept for understanding data subjectification in the contemporary moment.
关于数据化的批判性学术研究揭示了算法驱动的数字化转型对社会过程和人类主体性体验的影响。数字化转型将本体论信念嵌入到信息系统中,推动新的组织流程,并伴随着促进这些方案好处的技术实证主义话语。新信息系统的双重力量加上强大的话语影响,导致人们担心数据主体将由数据和信息系统定义——他们的主体性将从属于算法。然而,在本文中,我们认为数据共享的真实经验提供了一种揭示主体化实际经验的手段,而且这些经验往往是多元和复杂的。根据伙伴组织于2021年在智利、哥伦比亚、巴拉圭、秘鲁和乌拉圭开展的五项数字扫盲干预措施的结果,我们考虑了参与者在数据化方面的生活经历。我们的工作揭示了人们如何体验、协商、拒绝和接受数据权力的多种表现形式,以战略性地调动数据资源,构成了一个与任何一个信息系统的边界重叠的破碎的数据主体性。这导致我们提出“无家”的概念,作为理解当代数据主体化的一个有用概念。

Colonizers in the neighborhood: a critical discourse analysis of Nextdoor users’ postracial strategies 邻居中的殖民者:Nextdoor用户事后策略的批判性话语分析

ABSTRACT Colonizing the neighborhood is more accessible than ever before with digital platforms like Nextdoor. Through a critical discourse analysis of users’ content in West Philadelphia between May 2019 and April 2021, we found that users rarely utilized explicitly racist language or topics. Rather than interpret this as an indication that users do not engage with racializing or colonizing discourses, however, we argue that users relied on three postracial practices [Mukherjee, R., Banet-Weiser, S., & Gray, H. (2019). Racism postrace. Duke University Press] to normalize and obscure their anti-Blackness and settler ideologies in the context of broader sociocultural and political events of racial profiling and crises of care. First, users moved away from ‘objective’ racial categories to nostalgic narratives that shaped ideals of safety and community in exclusive futures. Second, they shied away from problematic but coded language to embed their racializing practices in policy and partisan discussions. Third, despite the changes users made to other discursive strategies, they remained steadfast in their preservation of surveillance and policing discourses. These themes reveal how postracial discourses reflect and produce their larger social world, obfuscating settler logics through slippery and sticky strategies.
通过像Nextdoor这样的数字平台,开拓社区比以往任何时候都更容易。通过对2019年5月至2021年4月期间西费城用户内容的批判性话语分析,我们发现用户很少使用明确的种族主义语言或话题。然而,我们并没有将这解释为用户不参与种族化或殖民化话语的迹象,而是认为用户依赖于三种后种族实践[Mukherjee, R., Banet-Weiser, S., & Gray, H.(2019)]。种族主义postrace。在种族定性和关怀危机的更广泛的社会文化和政治事件的背景下,使他们的反黑人和定居者意识形态正常化和模糊化。首先,用户从“客观的”种族分类转向怀旧叙事,这种叙事塑造了排外未来的安全和社区理想。其次,他们避免使用有问题但隐晦的语言,将他们的种族化做法嵌入到政策和党派讨论中。第三,尽管用户对其他话语策略做出了改变,但他们仍然坚定地保留了监视和警务话语。这些主题揭示了后种族话语如何反映和产生他们更大的社会世界,通过狡猾和粘滞的策略混淆了定居者的逻辑。

Queering the ‘resourcing’ of LGBTQ+ young people in the Asia Pacific 为亚太地区LGBTQ+年轻人提供“资源”

ABSTRACT Scholars have long been critical of development agendas where Global North organisations develop aid programmes and resources to address inequalities in the Global South, which tend to reflect Western values, frameworks, and identity. Critical response can be seen in current calls for decolonising the ‘resourcing’ of LGBTQ+ young people in the Global South. Drawing from the postcolonial lenses of ‘Asia as Method’ and a reorienting of that paradigm through ‘queer Asia as method’, we argue for ‘queering’ approaches to digitally resourcing LGBTQ+ young people in the region by centring the knowledge of local communities. This paper is informed by findings from two research projects involving digital resources on young people’s digital citizenship, safety, literacy and participation, and the lived experiences of respondents from 10 countries across the Asia Pacific.
长期以来,学者们一直对全球北方组织制定援助计划和资源以解决全球南方不平等问题的发展议程持批评态度,这些议程往往反映了西方的价值观、框架和身份。在当前呼吁将全球南方LGBTQ+年轻人的“资源”非殖民化的呼声中,可以看到批评的回应。从“亚洲作为方法”的后殖民视角出发,并通过“酷儿亚洲作为方法”对该范式进行重新定位,我们主张通过“酷儿”方法,通过集中当地社区的知识,为该地区的LGBTQ+年轻人提供数字资源。本文基于两个研究项目的研究结果,这些研究项目涉及数字资源,涉及年轻人的数字公民身份、安全、扫盲和参与,以及来自亚太地区10个国家的受访者的生活经历。

Efforts to support the resolution of armed conflicts through the facilitation of peace negotiations and dialogues increasingly involve digital technologies. While traditionally perceived as a human-centered activity, peace mediation now commonly entails information- and data-driven methods to enhance talks, support the analysis of conflict stakeholder needs and interests, and ground mediation efforts in better evidence. Digital technologies also promise to make peace efforts more future-oriented by helping to predict or anticipate upcoming developments, build scenarios, and increase readiness for emerging challenges. However, little is known about how such methods can be employed in dialogue and negotiation settings, where participants may have subjective and incompatible views on the conflict context, and more data and evidence don’t necessarily help to determine what a more peaceful future could look like. Through a qualitative study of the use of digitally enhanced dialogue efforts in Yemen and Libya, we demonstrate that future-oriented peacemaking requires the balancing of ‘sincere’ technology affordances that encourage an engagement with the past and present reality of conflict, with ‘subjunctive’ technology affordances that encourage an engagement with possible futures that are more peaceful. In practice, this requires combining data- and evidence-generating methods concerned with the world ‘as is’ with data analysis and visualization methods concerned with how the world ‘should’ or ‘could’ be. Our findings have implications for the study of digital methods in the facilitation of contentious political processes where the provision of data and evidence may create hurting deadlocks.
通过促进和平谈判和对话支持解决武装冲突的努力越来越多地涉及数字技术。虽然传统上认为和平调解是一项以人为本的活动,但现在通常需要信息和数据驱动的方法来加强谈判,支持分析冲突利益攸关方的需求和利益,并以更好的证据开展实地调解工作。数字技术还有助于预测或预测即将到来的事态发展,构建情景,并加强对新出现挑战的准备,从而使和平努力更加面向未来。然而,这些方法如何在对话和谈判环境中使用,人们知之甚少,参与者可能对冲突背景有主观和不相容的看法,更多的数据和证据不一定有助于确定一个更和平的未来可能是什么样子。通过对也门和利比亚使用数字增强对话努力的定性研究,我们证明,面向未来的和平建立需要平衡“真诚的”技术支持,鼓励与过去和现在的冲突现实接触,与“虚拟的”技术支持,鼓励与可能的未来更和平的接触。在实践中,这需要将有关世界“现状”的数据和证据生成方法与有关世界“应该”或“可能”如何的数据分析和可视化方法相结合。我们的研究结果对数字方法在促进有争议的政治过程中的研究具有启示意义,在这些过程中,数据和证据的提供可能会造成伤害性的僵局。
