摘要

Abstract

Short-video platforms have transformed the production

circulation

and consumption of such memory in China. Although short videos can preserve endangered cultural practices

provide visibility to marginalized voices or facilitate the ties of mobile populations to their hometowns

algorithmic recommendation and commercial competition often break narratives and transform authentic cultures into standardized symbols promoting internet fame. This work explores the dual-effect short-video media play on Chinese urban cultural memory and argues that sustainable reconstruction needs to be built by putting stories into contexts

participation of locals

cooperation between institutions and platforms

responsibility of platforms to hold in their hands a great chunk of public opinion power

and better public media literacy.
