  1. Me: Create a #wanghong / #internetcelebrity; it can be more-than-human.

    Students:
    - Llama cafe
    - Lidl
    - Tea house on a mountain
    - Foreign lady who loves #China
    - Tiny pig
    - Bot network
    - Virtual idol
    - Haunted hotel

    Many people wanted more-than-humans. Had to highlight difference between wanghong as 'unique' internet celebrity / #influencer vs #wanghong as repeatable #vibe #aesthetic

  2. Starting "Make-A-#Wanghong Company" (#internetcelebrity) #teaching activity in seminars. The students role play running an #influencer management company in #China and make a strategy document.

    One of the readings I ask them to do is, "Historicising Wanghong economy" by Xiaofei Han:

    The activity is inspired by Crystal Abidin's teaching and extended to be a multi-week project:
