WeChat as a digital bridge for the Chinese community in Italy? The use of social media during the first wave of COVID-19
No full textThis chapter provides a historical overview of the development of the Chinese-language media system in Italy with a dedicated analysis of the use of WeChat during the COVID-19 outbreak. The study aims to answer two research questions, namely: 1. How was WeChat used by Chinese residents in Italy to access and share information during its first lockdown in March–May 2020? 2. To what extent does WeChat allow Italian institutions to reach Chinese residents in Italy, and for Chinese residents to communicate with Italian institutions?Our findings highlight that overseas Chinese used WeChat as a key platform to maintain relationships in mainland Chinaand strengthen their networks in Italy; WeChat also acted as a tool for social vigilantism and solidarity purposes during the pandemic. Moreover, some Italian local institutions leveraged ethnic social media by developing communication on WeChat to reach Chinese citizens more effectively. © 2022 selection and editorial matter, Wanning Sun and Haiqing Yu; individual chapters, the contributors
Digital transnationalism in the era of China’s rise: WeChat, Chinese diaspora, misconceptions and future research
No full textIn the dialogue, Professor Wanning Sun, an internationally renowned scholar on media and communication in the Chinese diaspora, first introduces her new book co-authored with Professor Haiqing Yu titled Digital Transnationalism: Chinese-language Media in Australia (Brill, 2023). Professor Sun then responds to a few misconceptions that have been dominant in public discourses in the global West on the diasporic Chinese media. She argues that diasporic Chinese people’s transnational citizenship practices will become increasingly bound up with geopolitics that has significantly impacted the operation, regulation and use of Chinese social media platforms in the West. She points out that future research in ‘digital transnationalism’ of the Chinese diaspora could further explore the changing relations between Chinese digital/social media and the formation of a new kind of transnational Chinese subjectivities with a comparative approach

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Between entitlement and stigmatization: the lessons of HIV/AIDS for China's medical reform
No full textChina�s health policies mandate equality and attempt to raise awareness about disease prevention. Medical equality is also at the heart of China�s latest, widely discussed and debated health reform. Known as � yiliao gaige �, or � yigai � for short, the reform intends to address not just rising levels of disease and the inequality arising from this, but also growing population discontent toward the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) governance strategies
Education and inequality: education and equality
No full textEducation is an arena of social action that is often analysed in relation to social inequality. The literature on education in China has accurately portrayed the grave inequities of access to education that exist between urban and rural areas, between wealthier and poorer provinces, between the children of migrant workers and those of urban citizens, between the majority ethnic Han and various minority ethnic groups, and between rural boys and girls (see, for example, Postiglione 1999 ; Rong and Shi 2001 ; T. M. Fu 2005 ; Murphy 2006 , 2007 ; Davis et al . 2007 ; H. Yang 2007 ; Kipnis and Li 2010 ; also see Solinger in this volume). This chapter adheres to the same general topic, but takes a different direction. It focuses on daily practices within schools rather than access to schools and depicts both equality and inequality. Building on the theoretical insights of two anthropologists, Victor Turner and Louis Dumont, it examines how equality and inequality in human relationships are framed, imagined and negotiated in school life
