  • Make the invisible visible: communicative response to anti-Asian racism

    • Authors: Jin-Ae Kang; YoungJu Shin; Do Kyun David Kim; Peter Schulz (2023)

  • Anti-Asian sentiment has undoubtedly increased since the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020. Violence against Asian populations has notably surged (Pillai et al., 2021). In 16 of the largest US cities, hate crimes targeting Asians increased by 149% between 2019 and 2020, while overall reports of hate crimes declined by 7% over the same period (Martin & Yoon, 2021).

  • Gender myth and disciplined sexuality in Geling Yan’s White Snake

    • Authors: Meng Xia (2020)

  • The memory of marginal subjects is a recurring theme in Chinese migrant novelist Geling Yan’s stories against the backdrop of Modern Chinese history, and it constitutes a narrative of ‘marginal memory’ in her novella White Snake (1998). In this study, I first investigate the multi-perspective narrative structure in Yan’s novella, concerning how private, marginal memory contradicts mainstream narratives of gender and sexuality. Secondly, I expound the memory of the body that mediates this marginal memory, regarding the fantasised body, the disciplined body, resistance, and emancipation of the body.

  • Characterizing Asians in violence: a comparative analysis of English- and Chinese-language media’s crime news coverage during the pandemic

    • Authors: Newly Paul; Mingxiao Sui (2023-03-19)

  • This study examined variances in crime news involving Asian perpetrators and Asian victims in a mainstream English-language daily USA Today, and an ethnic newspaper Qiao Bao. Our quantitative content analysis focused on (a) the volume of crime stories published about Asians (as perpetrators and victims respectively), and (b) the news frames used to cover crime incidents involving Asians (as perpetrators and victims respectively). Our results revealed that relative to USA Today, the Chinese-language newspaper Qiao Bao not only reported more violent incidents involving Asians, but also placed less emphasis on thematic frames when covering violent incidents about Asians. On the other hand, the English-language newspaper USA Today published more articles emphasizing the consequences of ...

  • Doxing, regulation, and privacy protection: expanding the behavioral consequences of the third-person effect

    • Authors: Stella C. Chia; Yanqing Sun; Fangcao Lu; Andrea Gudmundsdottir (2023-03-18)

  • This study investigates the third-person effect in relation to the internet-related practice of doxing. A national phone survey with a representative sample of adult citizens (N = 486) was conducted in Taiwan. The respondents reported that they were exposed to mediated messages about doxing through social media or news media. They tended to find others more vulnerable to the influence of media than themselves. The self-other discrepancy of perceived media influence was found to be associated with support for regulating doxing and intentions to engage in doxing. Perceived media influence on others was also found to motivate people to protect their privacy. The findings inform public opinion about doxing and expand the range of behavioral consequences that perceived media influence mi...

  • COVID-racism on social media and its impact on young Asians in Australia

    • Authors: Wonsun Shin; Wilfred Yang Wang; Jay Song (2023-03-03)

  • COVID-19 has fueled discrimination against people of Asian descent across the world, and anti-Asian sentiment has become pervasive across social media platforms. However, little research has been conducted to understand Asians’ experiences of COVID-related racism outside the USA. Drawing insights from cultivation theory and minority stress theory, this study examines how young Asians’ use of social media in Australia affects their experiences of individual and vicarious racial discrimination on social media, and how racial discrimination experienced on social media is associated with their concerns about real-world racism and well being. A survey of 413 social media users aged 16–30 who self identified as Asians or Asian Australians shows that active use of social media relating to ...

  • Engender tolerance and participation in polarized gender issues: the mediating role of discussion in cross-cutting exposure

    • Authors: Jingjing Yi (2023-05-16)

  • This study revisited the deliberation-participation paradox by analyzing the relationship between exposure and both deliberative tolerance and civic participation in the context of gender equality among women and men. Survey data collected from Chinese adults revealed no significant direct effects from cross-cutting exposure to either deliberative tolerance or civic participation. However, a negative mediating effect through perceived polarization and a positive mediating effect through cross-cutting discussion were observed. Additionally, the results confirmed that perceived incivility plays a moderating role, attenuating the beneficial effects of cross-cutting exposure and strengthening the negative indirect effects. These findings suggest differential effects between cross-cuttin...

  • One-sided portrayal: Singapore media discourse of social scientists’ roles

    • Authors: Gabriel Boon Khee Wong (2023-06-11)

  • This article analyses the gap between the news media’s and scholars’ portrayals of social scientists’ roles in Singapore. It adopts a media representation theoretical framework, undertaking a media discourse analysis of the Singapore Select Committee on Deliberate Online Falsehood between January 2018 and October 2019. Findings show the media’s consistent depiction of the instrumental roles of social scientists via avoidance of academic language and social-political critiques. The article argues that Singapore’s news media portrayal emphasises the instrumental orientation of social scientists’ roles. The study contributes a social-cultural account in the Singapore context, reframing the media representation framework that has hitherto been understood from a Western perspective.

  • Netflix’s effects on the Korean Wave: power relations between local cultural industries and global OTT platforms

    • Authors: Dal Yong Jin (2023)

  • This article discusses how Netflix has influenced the local cultural industries in terms of the shift of cultural genres and the industry structure. By employing the convergence of critical political economy and sociocultural approach, it articulates whether Netflix has inroaded Korea due to the Korean Wave. It discusses whether local cultural industries firms change their norms in production to comply with Netflix’s orientation and argues the ways in which the shift in the standard of cultural production has changed the cultural text in genres to determine whether global platforms arguably destroy local specificities and identities. Finally, it interrogates shifting power relationships between a global OTT platform and local players, including cultural creators and platform users, ...

  • Orientalism in D. H. Lawrence’s novelistic representation of Italy

    • Authors: Kui Zeng (2021)

  • Critical attention to D. H. Lawrence’s two Italian novels has focused on themes of sexual politics and leadership politics, and few critics have noted their engagement with colonial politics. Informed by postcolonial studies, this paper argues that Lawrence’s representation of Italy in The Lost Girl and Aaron's Rod is overloaded with Orientalist imagery in that Italy is imagined as an Other within Europe that contrasts with the industrialised and civilised North. Italy is portrayed as alternatively redemptive and destructive. While the Italian landscape is idealised as an exotic Other, its people and culture are demonised as a savage Other. Both representation modes are trapped in the logic of imperialist discourses.

  • Enactment of gender and performing selves: a study on Hijra performativity

    • Authors: Tanupriya; Dhishna Pannikot (2021)

  • ‘Sex' is understood as ‘anatomically' and ‘biologically’ inherent in an individual and is mirrored through 'gender' and its signifiers. The contested binaries of male and female are associated with the perceptions of an individual's level of conformity to the vexed ideals of ‘masculinity' and ‘femininity', but a ‘trans' identity finds its expression outside these assigned gender dichotomous roles and find its expression in embodied and bodied practices. The aspects of masculinity and femininity are seen as ‘performative' which can be reflected through ‘sign vehicle' and ‘body idiom', the terms used by Sociologist Erving Goffman.
