  • Dating, Digital Media, and Diaspora: Contextualising the Cultural Uses of Tinder and Tantan Among Australian Chinese Diasporas
    DATING, DIGITAL MEDIA, AND DIASPORA: CONTEXTUALISING THE CULTURAL USES OF TINDER AND TANTAN AMONG AUSTRALIAN CHINESE DIASPORAS Xu Chen BA, MA Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Communication Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2020 Keywords Chinese diasporas Dating apps Digital cultures Ethnicity Sexual cultures Social media Dating, digital media, and diaspora: Contextualising the cultural uses of Tinder and Tantan among Australian Chinese diasporas i Abstract Bringing together perspectives from digital dating, sexual cultures, and diaspora studies, this project investigates how Australia-based Chinese users engage with Tinder and Tantan, two dating applications (apps) that have emerged from different cultural contexts – one Western, and one non-Western. Tantan is a popular dating app in mainland China. It was designed to mimic Tinder which, like other Western social media platforms, is blocked in mainland China. Although the study of dating apps has become a burgeoning research field over the past decade, little work has been done – and then only recently – on diasporic uses of dating apps. Research focusing on digital diaspora has shown that social media are essential to the maintenance and negotiation of diasporic identity among Australian Chinese diasporas. Within this digital-diasporic research, however, little attention has been paid to the role of dating apps, despite the popularity of both Chinese and Western dating apps among Chinese diasporic communities. To address this lack of attention, this research places a much-needed focus on the role of dating apps within digital diaspora studies. At the same time, it expands the emerging critical focus on diaspora within dating app studies.
