分析650万条跨语言推文，揭示全球反亚裔仇恨运动的跨国传播与K-pop粉丝的关键作用。
Multilingualism, Transnationality, and K-pop in the Online #StopAsianHate Movement
- 通过多语言主题建模与用户画像，挖掘全球非英语区参与特征。
- 非英语推文高峰由跨国亚裔歧视事件驱动，英文推文则多源于美国暴力案件。
- 全球K-pop粉丝是持续推动运动的核心力量，远超其他群体。
#StopAsianHate（SAH）运动是2021年因新冠疫情引发的针对亚裔及亚裔美国人种族歧视而兴起的全球性社会运动，引发了对反亚裔仇恨的广泛讨论。然而，现有研究主要集中于英语使用者，对运动在美之外的传播情况知之甚少；同时缺乏长期追踪，难以评估其持续性。本文分析了来自全球220万用户、涵盖60种语言的650万条#StopAsianHate推文，首次系统研究该运动的非英语与跨国维度。结合主题建模、用户建模与人工标注，识别并刻画主要讨论话题与参与者。发现：英语推文高峰由美国暴力事件驱动，而非英语推文则多由涉及亚洲国家象征人物的跨国歧视事件触发。此外，全球K-pop粉丝迅速响应并成为持续推动运动时间最长的群体。本研究深化了对大规模多语言在线行动中跨国性与关注度演化的理解。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The #StopAsianHate (SAH) movement is a broad social movement against violence targeting Asians and Asian Americans, beginning in 2021 in response to racial discrimination related to COVID-19 and sparking worldwide conversation about anti-Asian hate. However, research on the online SAH movement has focused on English-speaking participants so the spread of the movement outside of the United States is largely unknown. In addition, there have been no long-term studies of SAH so the extent to which it has been successfully sustained over time is not well understood. We present an analysis of 6.5 million "#StopAsianHate" tweets from 2.2 million users all over the globe and spanning 60 different languages, constituting the first study of the non-English and transnational component of the online SAH movement. Using a combination of topic modeling, user modeling, and hand annotation, we identify and characterize the dominant discussions and users participating in the movement and draw comparisons of English versus non-English topics and users. We discover clear differences in events driving topics, where spikes in English tweets are driven by violent crimes in the US but spikes in non-English tweets are driven by transnational incidents of anti-Asian sentiment towards symbolic representatives of Asian nations. We also find that global K-pop fans were quick to adopt the SAH movement and, in fact, sustained it for longer than any other user group. Our work contributes to understanding the transnationality and evolution of the SAH movement, and more generally to exploring upward scale shift and public attention in large-scale multilingual online activism.
