4月19日（五）上午十點，民族所演講邀請國立陽明交通大學醫學系醫學人文暨教育學科／公共衛生研究所黃宣穎副教授，於第三會議室（2319室）進行演講  。

演講提要如下：

This presentation examines the culture and politics of digital mental health through a case study of KnowYourself, a platform targeting urban youth that has become one of the most influential carriers of therapeutic culture in today’s China. Named after the Delphic maxim, KnowYourself presents a distinctive brand of popular psychology that is informed by depth psychology and critical social sciences. My inquiry highlights the experience of reading, typically perceived as a solitary endeavor despite its inherently social nature, especially since KnowYourself is hailed as a paragon of “content entrepreneurship.” Taking reading experience as a window into one’s psychic life, I explore the self-fashioning of Chinese youth under the Xi Jinping administration, an era marked by tightening political control and, increasingly, an imperative to feel and think positively. My ethnography reveals how readers seek and find solace and insights on the platform; while expressing disillusionment with its pronounced commercial focus and reluctance to address sensitive topics, they also recognize its precarious position and are exhilarated by the occasional breakthroughs. What emerges, as I contend, is a therapeutic culture still searching for its politics.
