Nudity, feminists, and Chinese online censorship: a case study on the anti-domestic violence campaign on SinaWeibo / Han, Ling; Lee, Chengpang   Journal Article
Han, Ling Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Chinese feminist activists are actively participating in the Chinese online public sphere. In this study, we examine a case – the Anti-Domestic Violence with Nude Photos Campaign (裸照反家暴活动) – and the response of Chinese online censorship to this campaign. Campaign activists used nude photos to mobilize the public’s support. According to the existing theoretical perspectives such as the collective action potential theory, this kind of online campaign with pornographic elements and the potential to mobilize people is very likely to be censored. Counter to this expectation, we found that not all of the original photos were removed. Our finding suggests that the interactive manner in which activists responded to the public on SinaWeibo’s discussion threads matters in terms of the degree of censorship. This study complements the existing studies on the Chinese online censorship system, echoes scholars’ call for studies on censorship from a more interactive angle, and furthers our understanding of the Chinese feminist movement.

Reserved for whom? the electoral impact of gender quotas in Taiwan / Huang, Chang-Ling   Journal Article
Huang, Chang-Ling Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Since the 1990s, gender quotas in elections have become a global phenomenon. One of the issues raised about gender quotas concerns the qualifications of quota women. A previous study that looked at France’s parity law showed quota women are as competent as or even more competent than non-quota women or non-quota men. The French experience, under the proportional representation system, only allows for a comparison of average qualifications between quota women and their non-quota counterparts.
