China’s distinctive social media platforms have gained notable popularity among the nation’s vast number of internet users, but has China’s countryside been ‘left behind’ in this communication revolution?
Tom McDonald spent 15 months living in a small rural Chinese community researching how the residents use social media in their daily lives. His ethnographic findings suggest that, far from being left behind, social media is already deeply integrated into the everyday experience of many rural Chinese people.
Throughout his ground-breaking study, McDonald argues that social media allows rural people to extend and transform their social relationships by deepening already existing connections with friends known through their school, work or village, while also experimenting with completely new forms of relationships through online interactions with strangers. By juxtaposing these seemingly opposed relations, rural social media users are able to use these technologies to understand, capitalise on and challenge the notions of morality that underlie rural life.
任何生活在中国的人都不需要看它对你的日常生活的浮光掠影的总结,它把连常识都算不上的东西作为研究发现。我疯了,真的!
评分很想知道那些喜欢转发“愿得一人心”“我愿意等你”的农村女孩们后来是到城市去上大学了,还是进工厂了,她们是怎么找的男朋友,男朋友符合她曾经的设想吗,或者她的想法为什么转变了?
评分很多常识现象,我们经常都是带着嘲讽的眼光看的;评论说有些论断已过时,但作者恰恰没有下什么论断;我们常自以为掌握了全景,但这全景其实是天南海北支离破碎的材料拼凑起来的,人类学考察的地域虽然微小,看到的却是一只完整的蝴蝶。
评分还行吧。直球。选题也挺有意思的。可是有些结论很让人费解。比如孩子希望与父母在网络世界建立联系。当然作者的田野结果就是这么说的。还有性别关怀有点硬拗。
评分对于中国读者来说过分通俗常识了吧。
