摘要

AbstractThis article contributes to a theoretical formulation of techno-nationalism as the cultural logic of infrastructural capitalism by revisiting Debord and Situationist International's discussion of Spectacle and digital struggles. We deconstruct the concept of techno-nationalism into three interlocking but contradictory media events: techno-nationalism as the "integrated Spectacle," signifying the power of the state and capital; the disintegrative forces of media spectacles that highlight the ruptures and contradictions of global infrastructural capitalism; and digital resistance through the creation of "cyber-situations." The case of Huawei's Meng Wanzhou exemplifies how techno-nationalism emerges as an integrated ideological Spectacle with the help of media spectacles and yet undergoes a disintegration process due to inescapable contradictions and labor conflicts. This research not only analyses China as a case to understand the tactical deployment of the cultural logic of techno-nationalism with a focus on both domestic and international dimensions as political economic and social forces but also on the inherent contradictions and digital struggles in global infrastructural capitalism.Keywords: Techno-nationalismChinese nationalismonline nationalismspectaclecyber-situationsHuawei Disclosure statementThe authors report that there are no competing interests to declare.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by GRF funding (Ref No. 13607123).Notes on contributorsYuqi NaYuqi Na is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Cultural Research and Development, Lingnan University.
