In the latest in our series on belief, we’re examining the emergence of incels in the world’s largest manosphere. China’s growing incel community is fuelled by state-approved nationalism and simple demographics—by one estimate, 30 million Chinese men won’t find a life partner. (1/3)

A milestone! I’m awarded a VENI Grant (€ 320k) by NWO for a 4-year project. I will compare digital visibility negotiation practices of public intellectuals in 3 sectors in China and NL to conceptualize cautious labor. I am extremely thankful for the support of RUG FA and so many colleagues/friends.

With this, we invite scholars of digital visibility to: 1. Recognize the theory-building capacity of Asian case studies & engage more with emerging Asian scholars; 2. Expand the scope of “digital visibility negotiation” discussion; 3. Use the lens of visibility to conceptualize other phenomena.

How do content creators learn about a dozen platforms and push their content into the ‘for you’ page?🤔

In this new OA paper in New Media & Society, I explore transnational creators' algorithmic and visibility practices across multiple Chinese and US-based platforms.

If you are interested in learning more about #Xiaohongshu #RedNote, @restofworld.org has published many in-depth stories about the community:

My story on XHS as an ultra-consumerist app, showing young women a polished, bougie, often-unattainable way of life.
restofworld.org/2023/xiaohon...

Xiaohongshu is teaching young Chinese women how to buy the perfect life

Known as China’s “lifestyle bible,” the social media platform is an aspirational living guide or a consumerist trap.
