This book examines how emerging forms of citizenship are shaped by young people in digital spaces as way of making sense of contemporary Chinese society, forming new identities, and negotiating social and political participation. By focusing on Chinese young adults’ everyday online practices, the book offers a unique treatment of the topic of young people and the Chinese Internet that navigates between the dominant focus on censorship on the one hand and protest and politicized action on the other.
The book brings the focus of research from highly visible or spectacular forms of collectivity, belonging, and identification exhibited in young people’s online practices to young people’s everyday social and cultural engagement through new media. It brings new insights by understanding the meanings of young people’s mundane and everyday online engagement for their citizenship learning, identity performance, and their formation of political subjectivity. Readers will gain insightsinto citizenship in China, and young people and the Chinese Internet.
