Tom McDonald is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology, The University of Hong Kong. He received his PhD in Anthropology from UCL in 2013 and has published numerous academic articles on Internet use and consumption practices in China.
China’s distinctive social media platforms have gained notable popularity among the nation’s vast number of internet users, but has China’s countryside been ‘left behind’ in this communication revolution?
Tom McDonald spent 15 months living in a small rural Chinese community researching how the residents use social media in their daily lives. His ethnographic findings suggest that, far from being left behind, social media is already deeply integrated into the everyday experience of many rural Chinese people.
Throughout his ground-breaking study, McDonald argues that social media allows rural people to extend and transform their social relationships by deepening already existing connections with friends known through their school, work or village, while also experimenting with completely new forms of relationships through online interactions with strangers. By juxtaposing these seemingly opposed relations, rural social media users are able to use these technologies to understand, capitalise on and challenge the notions of morality that underlie rural life.

第一章一邊笑一邊看的呢。
评分很多常識現象,我們經常都是帶著嘲諷的眼光看的;評論說有些論斷已過時,但作者恰恰沒有下什麼論斷;我們常自以為掌握瞭全景,但這全景其實是天南海北支離破碎的材料拼湊起來的,人類學考察的地域雖然微小,看到的卻是一隻完整的蝴蝶。
评分任何生活在中國的人都不需要看它對你的日常生活的浮光掠影的總結,它把連常識都算不上的東西作為研究發現。我瘋瞭,真的!
评分很多常識現象,我們經常都是帶著嘲諷的眼光看的;評論說有些論斷已過時,但作者恰恰沒有下什麼論斷;我們常自以為掌握瞭全景,但這全景其實是天南海北支離破碎的材料拼湊起來的,人類學考察的地域雖然微小,看到的卻是一隻完整的蝴蝶。
评分很想知道那些喜歡轉發“願得一人心”“我願意等你”的農村女孩們後來是到城市去上大學瞭,還是進工廠瞭,她們是怎麼找的男朋友,男朋友符閤她曾經的設想嗎,或者她的想法為什麼轉變瞭?
