Mediated Public Space in China: The Shift Towards Privacy fromWeibo to Weixin
This research project will focus on two popular online communication platforms in China, Weibo, a public microblogging service, and Weixin, a multi-functional, private
Instant Messaging application. The two platforms will be compared in the way that they operate as public or private spaces, the influence of interpersonal goals on the interaction in these spaces, and how the shift towards private communications suggest that a new concept of a “mediated private sphere” might be more useful in understanding the politics of digital communications in China.
