Abstract

This article aims to determine how digital nationalism influences gender politics in the context of gender-issue debates on Chinese social media platforms. To this end, I present an original case study, collecting empirical data from the most popular Chinese community question-answering (CQA) website, Zhihu. By using a mixed-method research design, consisting of content analysis (CA) and critical discourse analysis (CDA), I explored gender-issue debates between Chinese internet users. The analysis reveals how such debates inform divided opinions between women and men internet users, and how misogynistic men invoke a nationalist discourse to distort the debates.

改革后中国的数字民族主义与性别政治:知乎上的性别问题辩论

本文旨在确定在中国社交媒体平台上性别问题辩论的背景下，数字民族主义如何影响性别政治。为此，我提出了一个原始的案例研究，收集了最受欢迎的中文社区问答(CQA)网站知乎的实证数据。我采用内容分析(CA)和批评话语分析(CDA)的混合方法研究设计，探讨了中国互联网用户之间的性别问题争论。分析揭示了这样的辩论是如何让男女互联网用户产生意见分歧的，以及厌恶女性的男性是如何利用民族主义话语来扭曲辩论的。
