Rural Microcelebrities, Short Video, and the Spectacle-Ization of the Rural Lifescape on Chinese Social Media
International Journal of Communication 14(2020), 3769–3787 1932–8036/20200005 From Disenchantment to Reenchantment: Rural Microcelebrities, Short Video, and the Spectacle-ization of the Rural Lifescape on Chinese Social Media HAN LI Rhodes College, USA Facilitated by the explosive growth in mobile devices and social media, the rise of rural China’s microcelebrities and the accompanying short videos of the country’s rural lifescape disseminated through various social media platforms have generated astonishing viewership figures and taken Chinese netizens by storm. These digital productions, despite a wide range of filming techniques and production quality, employ sophisticated narrative strategies and visual languages. This article examines the cultural politics behind the production, circulation, and consumption of these videos and the sociospatial dynamics reflected in the rediscovering and repackaging of rural life on Chinese social media. This article contends that these videos, rather than bridging the urban–rural gap, as they seem to, in fact reveal the predicaments of China’s urbanization process and suggest further (though subtle) urban–rural discrepancies. Keywords: microcelebrity, social media, short video, rurality, gentrification Following the 2016 breakout of microcelebrities (Senft, 2008) such as Papi Jiang, short videos, and the livestreaming industry in China (Iresearch, 2017; A. K. Li, 2019; Qin, 2016),1 the Chinese social media landscape experienced another wave of Internet sensation—short videos depicting rural content, -

2020 8th International Education, Economics, Social Science, Arts, Sports and Management Engineering Conference (IEESASM 2020) The Construction of Emotional Aesthetics in Slow Variety Shows of Healing: a Case Study of China's First Voice Interactive Reality Show Welcome Back to Sound Guoao Song1, Yiqing Li2, Siqi Wu3 1School of Journalism and Communication, Anhui University, Hefei, Anhui Province, China 2School of Journalism and Communication, Minzu University of China, Beijing, China 3School of Journalism and Communication, Hubei University, Wuhan, Hubei Province, China Keywords: Emotional aesthetics, Slow variety show, Reality show, Welcome back to sound Abstract: Welcome Back to Sound is a voice interactive reality show. As China's first live radio + reality TV show, it takes emotional healing as the core appeal, constructs special emotional aesthetics through the exquisite design of the program, and brings unique audio and visual enjoyment as well as emotional comfort to the audience. Based on the theory of aesthetics and TV art, this paper analyzes the mechanism and path of constructing emotional aesthetics in this variety show from four aspects: program concepts, situation settings, the link design and audio-visual presentation. 1. Introduction With the rapid development of modern economic society, people's pace of life is accelerating. The slow pace of life has become the pursuit of more and more people. China's TV variety shows have experienced the development of “carnival supremacy” for decades. Now the innovation and development of slow variety shows are the requirements of the era. In 2017, Back To Field was officially launched on Hunan Satellite TV, marking the beginning of slow variety shows in China. -

She encouraged me to venture outside my intellectual comfort zones throughout my years at Vanderbilt. Partly by example, she instilled in me a love for the process of scholarly articulation and rearticulation, in spite of its challenging and exhausting nature. I am grateful to the members of my dissertation committee—James Epstein, Leor Halevi, Brooke Ackerly, and David Gilmartin—for their engagement with this project and their insightful commentary on its scope and objectives. This project would have been impossible without the financial support provided by the following institutions: the International Dissertation Research Fellowship program of the Social Science Research Council, Summer Research Awards from the College of Arts and Science at Vanderbilt University, and, the 2015-16 Sawyer Seminar at Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities at Vanderbilt University. During research for this dissertation, I received help from archivists and librarians in the United States, India and Britain. In Nashville, I would like to thank the Interlibrary Loan team at Vanderbilt University’s Jean and Alexander Heard Library for their tireless efforts in locating materials for this project. -
