Feminist responses to COVID-19 in China through the lens of affect
Abstract
The COVID −19 pandemic has affected men and women differently since its outbreak. However, we still know little about the challenges that women in China have experienced and how they struggled to make their voices heard in the big story of confronting the pandemic. This study draws on affect theories to understand the affective dimension of feminist responses to the pandemic locally. By examining feminist groups and activists who have been vocal on the Sina Weibo platform since the outbreak, this study aims to answer 1. What are the roles of emotion and affect in feminist responses to COVID-19 on Weibo? 2. How does Weibo facilitate the expression and transmission of emotion and affect? The findings will add insight to our understanding of the affective dimension of feminist responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, opening space for thinking about the intersections between feminist politics, the affective, and digital media technologies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
