This research project investigates the role of authoritarian law in, counter-intuitively, developing and consolidating an online public sphere in ways that facilitate the expansion of narratives that challenge existing power structures. The research plan includes textual analysis and comparison of material produced online between January 2008 and April 2010 by an existing selected website and the reports of the major Chinese news agencies as they reported on public scandals. Data analysis of this material includes social network analysis on the reported information. The theoretical insights obtained in this study extend our understanding of public spheres and legal understanding in authoritarian contexts in the Information Age.

这一研究项目调查了威权主义法律在反直觉地发展和巩固在线公共领域方面的作用，其方式促进了挑战现有权力结构的叙事的扩展。研究计划包括对一个现有精选网站在2008年1月至2010年4月期间在网上发布的材料进行文本分析和比较，以及中国主要新闻机构在报道公共丑闻时的报道。该材料的数据分析包括对报告信息的社交网络分析。本研究所获得的理论见解扩展了我们对信息时代威权背景下的公共领域和法律的理解。
