Soon, problems arose in relation to the evacuation of families made up of white Western migrants and Chinese citizens, as their mixed citizenship status prevented them from being evacuated as a family. By analyzing news reports, policy documents, and social media discussions about these families’ predicaments, this article investigates the reasons why they faced being separated in this time of crisis. Drawing on the concept of white mobility capital, it argues that the Covid-19 era brings to our attention the weak foundation of long-assumed mobility privileges among white migrants in China and sheds light on the precarious status of increasing numbers of mixed-status families in China.","PeriodicalId":34948,"journal":{"name":"Asian anthropology","volume":"21 1","pages":"171 - 183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43770784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By analyzing these vloggers’ self-representations and the Chinese audience’s responses to them, the article discusses how white male identity is negotiated on China’s state-regulated social media platforms in this critical time. It shows that while Western male vloggers carefully represent themselves as ideal foreign migrants in China, they are subject to criticisms from their Chinese audience. In this process, the meanings attached to white male identity have become increasingly debated.","PeriodicalId":34948,"journal":{"name":"Asian anthropology","volume":"21 1","pages":"211 - 223"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44581432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on semi-structured long-distance interviews with twenty young white entrepreneurs who had previously worked in different Chinese cities, this article highlights the impacts of the Covid-19 crisis on their businesses, social status, and identities before and during the pandemic. We identify two prominent themes in our respondents’ highly emotional reflections on their involuntary return experiences: loss and victimhood. We argue that such narratives betray multi-layered tensions between privileges and precariousness in the social construction of whiteness in a transnational context.","PeriodicalId":34948,"journal":{"name":"Asian anthropology","volume":"21 1","pages":"197 - 210"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41566225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While whiteness can be an invisible hegemonic construction in Western societies, it becomes a highly visible minority status in China. We introduce the concept of “precarious whiteness” to flesh out the multi-layered tensions in the transnational circulation and reconfiguration of white privilege, particularly in China. The articles in this special issue focus on white migrants in four domains: transnational business and entrepreneurship, Chinese-foreign families, digital media platforms, and online English teaching. Together they foreground the highly contested and fragmented nature of white racial formation in a critical historical moment of Covid-19.","PeriodicalId":34948,"journal":{"name":"Asian anthropology","volume":"21 1","pages":"161 - 170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44606569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Between precarious foreignness and praise for China: the citizenship constellations of white Europeans in China during the early Covid-19 pandemic 在不稳定的异国情调和对中国的赞扬之间：新冠肺炎早期欧洲白人在中国的公民星座

Their transnational citizenship constellation spans two political systems that are commonly thought of as incommensurable and whose legitimacy is mutually contested by opponents of either model of governance. My research illustrates how this polarization was exacerbated during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research participants noted how the position of white, Western foreigners in China was shifting as they became exposed to suspicion of being potential carriers of the virus and to a related uptick in xenophobia. They felt that the Chinese authorities and media externalized and racialized the new corona virus to enhance the legitimacy of the authoritarian regime vis-à-vis the domestic population; but they also considered the Chinese response to the outbreak of Covid-19 at the time a success overall and praised people in China for their compliance with state measures. How these white European foreigners in China navigated the early Covid-19 era is thus mediated by the larger geopolitical polarization between China and “the West” inherent in their citizenship constellation, racialized social hierarchies among foreigners in China, and an ambiguity between the experience of being othered and their identification with the Chinese approach to containing Covid-19.","PeriodicalId":34948,"journal":{"name":"Asian anthropology","volume":"21 1","pages":"184 - 196"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45824863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We consider the positioning of women’s bodies in the nation-building project and how sartorial practices reflected expectations around gendered performance in the public and private spheres. Both countries emerged from domination by major powers—Japan and the US—in the post-war era and ruling elites were keen to project an image of nation that was distinctively Asian and modern, while the first ladies of both nations championed their respective styles of national dress. In the Philippines, the terno was a fusion garment adapted over time that reflected the nation’s earlier cultural links with Spain, whereas in Taiwan the qipao marked women’s bodies as Chinese in the public sphere as Chinese nationalists consolidated their political control over the country. We argue that the relative success and longevity of the terno in the Philippines is due to a lengthy, organic process of internal cultural authentication prior to its take-up by former First Lady Imelda Marcos, as opposed to the top-down imposition of the qipao on Taiwanese women’s bodies.","PeriodicalId":34948,"journal":{"name":"Asian anthropology","volume":"7 10","pages":"100 - 120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41268144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are typically discriminated against and marginalized by neighboring Tibetans. Taman people are located at a juncture of critical social and political questions regarding issues such as social hierarchy, state power, and the nation-state’s borders. In this article, I examine how the Taman people react to and interact with state power, focusing on grassroots village organization, economic activities, and government policies at the ground level. In doing so, I draw on ethnicity as an analytical lens and argue that the control of local society does not merely intrude from the outside as a result of “mechanical” state power. Local society also actively transforms and produces governable subjects from within, through interactions with the state.","PeriodicalId":34948,"journal":{"name":"Asian anthropology","volume":"21 1","pages":"121 - 137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46032614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a non-representational model of an ethno-social world built with time-images, non-hierarchical and characterized by multiplicity, which through memories, myths, fantasies, and dreams open up the actual to the virtual. The concept is applied to Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s cinema. Through the analysis of his most representative films, Tropical Malady (Sud Pralad, 2004), Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (Lung Boonmee Raluek Chat, 2010) and Cemetery of Splendour (Rak Ti Khon Kaen, 2015), I show how they are characterized by the rhizomatic assemblage of natural, daily-life profane components and by supernatural, spiritual and sacred components, which present us the Thai region of Isan. Apichatpong’s ethno-cinematographic rhizomes can help us to deepen in a contemplative and perceptual way our understanding of the ethno-cultural world of Isan, while connecting at a broader level with the “ontological turn” in anthropology by, among others, Philippe Descola, Bruno Latour, and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro.","PeriodicalId":34948,"journal":{"name":"Asian anthropology","volume":"21 1","pages":"138 - 154"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47447075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
