虽然亚洲是高科技社交媒体使用最活跃的地区，但是每当谈起科技或人类共同体，都是以欧美为重心。随着Clubhouse等新兴社交软件兴起，我们又开始讨论何为华人、何为华语等问题。谈到这些问题，就必然要跨越语言和政治的边界。我将在这次讲座上分享「时差」in-betweenness播客对于华语世界里共同经验的讨论，面对复杂的权力与身份认同问题，我们应该如何自处？让我们一同寻找答案。

Against the universal claims in the digital age, this talk will take into account digital platforms in Asia, through recent technologies such as clubhouse and podcasts, and reflect on the notion of "Chineseness". In particular, the talk will refer to the Mandarin in-betweenness/shicha podcast that discusses the shared experience on the complexities of power and identity within the Chinese-speaking world and its transnational significance in the digital age.
