Centred on the Golden Forum, Hong Kong’s only right-leaning online community with a distinct subculture, \u003cem\u003eMisogyny Beyond the West\u003c\/em\u003e explores how misogyny manifests and circulates online in times of sociopolitical upheaval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy conceptualising misogyny as a distortion of the public sphere, Chris Tsui positions the Golden Forum as one of the last remaining digital spaces for public discourse in Hong Kong’s post-National Security Law era. Through a two-phase research design including qualitative content analysis of forum posts and interviews with forum members and managers—this work uncovers both overt and subtle expressions of misogyny, revealing how contempt for women permeates online interactions and potentially influences offline relationships and societal norms. Challenging Western-centric definitions, Tsui proposes a spectrum-based understanding of misogyny, highlighting the dangers of its normalisation and the invisibility of its more subtle but equally harmful manifestations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsightful reading for scholars of digital media, gender and Asian studies, \u003cem\u003eMisogyny Beyond the West\u003c\/em\u003e offers a timely intervention into the study of misogyny and the public sphere in a region where democracy and dissent are increasingly under threat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emerald Publishing Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57297699144024,"sku":"9781806864225","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/misogyny-beyond-the-west","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
