 ale: Chinese Gay Microcelebrities Negotiating Pleasure through DIY Porn Pr
 oductionThis talk discusses a nascent network of commercial DIY gay porn p
 roduction by microcelebrities in China against the background of platformi
 zation. Informed by queer Marxist theories, the paper looks at how the ca
 reer trajectories of live-streamer-turned DIY gay porn actors/producers ar
 e shaped by the intertwining forces of platform capitalism, technological
  affordances, and state internet governance. Reflecting on the critical p
 otential of these DIY porn production practices, it suggests that they pa
 radoxically showcase both a willing submission to the ever-expanding logic
 s of capitalism and means of creative negotiation with commodification and
  state censorship.''Speaker: Lin Song is an Assistant Professor in School
