Sportswomen under the Chinese male gaze: A feminist critical discourse analysis
This article o ff ers a timely, critical analysis of the male gaze upon sportswomen in male Chinese fans ’ consumption of sporting megaevents. We use the most popular Chinese-language sports fandom platform, Hupu, as the data repository and scrutinise the threads of male Hupu users ’ postings about two elite sportswomen at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics as the case studies. Drawing on feminist critical discourse analysis (FCDA), we elucidate the discursive strategies that male Chinese fans adopt to sexualise sportswomen and trivialise their accomplishments. The research fi ndings showcase how China ’ s sports fandom has evolved as a masculine terrain, where men ’ s visions of asymmetrical gender power relations are discursively negotiated and rationalised.
