🎉 New #OpenAccess Research Article in #JCCA Journal of Current Chinese Affairs by Lin Zhang (Turun yliopisto - University of Turku) Lin Zhang investigates hashtag-centred action during the 227 controversy on #Weibo following the 2020 blocking of Archive of Our Own in China, focusing on Chinese Boys’ Love (#BL) fans’ participation in this episode of digitally mediated contention. The study demonstrates how, under #authoritarian constraints, everyday users collectively negotiate #algorithmic power, making hashtags as #infrastructures for learning and tactical adaptation.
