Abstract

Digital media technology has provided rural women in China with new ways of cultural production. The vividness of short videos has activated the “visibility” of rural daily life, gathered the attention of young rural women, and created a social field in rural space. Based on a virtual ethnography, this paper explores the transformation of young rural women’s self-perceptions from awakening, identification and subversion through active disclosure, enriching digital content production through the emergence of individual female consciousness, embodied communication practices and “Iron Girl-style” aesthetic identity. Behind their discursive practices, they have broken free from the social manipulation of framing and bodily landscaping, and have achieved a brighter expression from the bottom up, being the “maidens” of rural revitalization in the new era.
