<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>This article examines studies surrounding Chinese new media and identity construction from a historical perspective. More specifically, this article examines the dynamism of Chinese individuals’ practices surrounding various new media that emerged and evolved at different times from the 1990s to the present, with a particular focus on identity construction within a theoretical framework of individualization. Drawing upon a review of previous studies and analysis of a new case, this article discusses how identities are negotiated and created through the consumption of new media products and services, the expression of selves, interactions with others and participation in political events. Lastly, this article addresses the changes and continuities in Chinese individuals’ practices of identity construction accompanied with the evolution of different new media throughout the last two decades.</jats:p> |
