I majored in Chinese literature during my undergraduate studies, and I obtained my master’s degree in Critical Asian Humanities from Duke University, USA. For my PhD project, I am going to explore the relationship between the reading practice of Chinese urban women and the formation of their female subjectivity through the lens of women’s periodicals. I’d like to investigate how the emergence of women as modern readers on the pages of public print media embodied their engagements with new norms and knowledge, as well as facilitating their feminist awareness, self-identification, and collective identity. I am also interested in studying how they were confined while also negotiating with male editors’ normative construction on modern womanhood, and how the image of “female reader” was developed and deployed by male intellectuals for various ideological purposes.

I majored in Chinese literature during my undergraduate studies at the South Normal University of China. I obtained my MPhil degree in Chinese Contemporary and Modern Literature from the East Normal University of China. I am exploring the representation of human-waste experiences within a trans-media framework for my Ph.D. dissertation. Using "documentary mode" as an opening frame, I examine how photography, art, and poetry visualize environmental waste while facilitating the ambiguous relationship between waste and humans. By exploring what is at stake in defining waste and how these definitions of waste work for specific kinds of people, I am also concerned about how the representation of the human-waste relationship interacts with geopolitical relations, gender politics, and technical aesthetics.

Lee Chi Shing
Lee Chi Shing is a Ph.D. candidate in Cultural Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His ongoing dissertation project aims to bridge up Hong Kong Studies and the Global Sixties by investigating the radical discourse of home from 1969 to 2021. It addresses a two-fold question: 1) how local activism in Hong Kong can be understood from the perspective of the global Sixties, and 2) how local activism in Hong Kong renews our interpretation of the global landscape of radicalism. Approaching the radical discourse of home as a local lens to interpret the global landscape of the Sixties’ radicalism, the dissertation project argues for an understanding of home that could articulate a more productive politics – not so much the xenophobic, exclusive, and defensive politics than the multifaceted, inclusive, and open-ended.

Thesis Abstract
Affective “cultural technique:”
Tracing anti-pandemic technologies in China’s war against the COVID pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted health, economics, politics, culture, and society. Health codes, lockdowns, Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reactions, Personal Protective Equipment, vaccines, and statistics on cases tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 are anti-epidemic technologies being widely employed by the Chinese government and public health professionals to fight the pandemic. However, anti-epidemic technologies are marginalized research topics in cultural studies. Generally, they are assumed to be part of the scientific responses to the pandemic. How anti-pandemic technologies shape governance and their relations with political powers have not been adequately understood.
This project approaches China’s pandemic response by looking at media representations of and public attitudes toward anti-pandemic technologies. Semi-structured interviews, participant observation, thematic analysis, and discourse analysis are used to collect and proceed with data. Regarding anti-pandemic technologies as a “cultural technique,” my thesis studies anti-pandemic technologies by tracing the entanglement of anti-pandemic technologies, human perception, and media representations. It reveals how anti-pandemic technologies generate affect of the pandemic to mediate and adjust the effect of the Zero-COVID on population. Through generating affect of the pandemic, anti-pandemic technologies produce, weaken, and undermine political powers. They strengthen political powers by shaping the people’s risk perception, emotions, and national identity and generating bodily pain and discomfort. Political powers are weakened and undermined when anti-pandemic technologies create misinformation and uncertainty. The dynamics of anti-pandemic technologies show the complex interplay of culture and technologies in which the relations between culture and technologies the distinctions between object and performance, matter and form, signal and noise, emotion and body, and symbol and reality are in becoming, making the in-betweenness of human subjectivities beyond control and resistance paradigm visible. Focusing on the technical politics of China’s pandemic response, this research maps out the complex influences of anti-pandemic technologies on society, politics, and culture. Furthermore, it illustrates how to study technologies and emerging infectious diseases from an interdisciplinary perspective.
