Specters of the Red Guards: The Making of the Desiring Chinese Fans in the Struggle for legitimacy

This article is to re-establish the logic of the collective activities of the Chinese fans in the past few years, and thus to transcend the theoretical hegemony of Textual Poachers by Jenkins. From the start, the Chinese fans mainly composed of the female groups is begging for the legitimacy from the big Other. With the new young generations occupying Weibo as their latest and most effective forum for organizing and mobilizing collective activities, the Chinese fans begin to indulge themselves in establishing the emotional bonds with their idols as the little other in the Symbolic. I divide the collective activities into two kinds: exceptional and routine. Whatever kinds of activities they take, what they want is only to prove their little other valuable, or of legitimacy, and hence what they usually choose is to bot-like voting by # routinely, and to launch the verbal violence and attack exceptionally on whoever insults their idols, even file a report as vindictive revenge. Lastly but not the least, I have a bold attempt to connecting the Red Guards in the 1960s with the Chinese fans, in terms of their cult of personality, the collective psychology.
