Abstract

This article examines the practice of egao, or online parody, in China as an act of cultural citizenship. Looking at user-generated parodies derived from a viral meme called Mom Please Hit Me Once More, it explores how young netizens negotiate their collective identity, memory and social changes through participatory cultural production online. Broadening the purview of citizenship practice while highlighting its cultural and affective dimension, this article reveals how the Internet provides a space for creative modes of civic expression and lifestyle politics – a hybrid space where entertainment and politics converge, while tensions between tradition and modernity play out.

苦笑之下：网络戏仿、中国的情感结构和文化公民身份

这篇文章探讨了在中国作为一种文化公民行为的恶搞行为。通过对一个名为“妈妈请再打我一次”(Mom Please Hit Me again)的病毒表情包的恶搞，它探讨了年轻网民如何通过参与式的网络文化生产来协商他们的集体身份、记忆和社会变革。本文拓宽了公民实践的范围，同时强调了其文化和情感维度，揭示了互联网如何为公民表达和生活方式政治的创造性模式提供了一个空间——一个娱乐与政治融合的混合空间，同时传统与现代之间的紧张关系也在发挥作用。
