• Resumen

  • This study takes a field perspective on the study of China Internet celebrity, aiming to explore different celebrity genres or different sub-fields in China Internet celebrity field and to investigate the mechanism, distinction, articulation and hegemony within this field.

    Based on a multiple cases study design, with methods of participant observation and interviews, this study argues that distinction and articulation cause the organic �segmentation� and �unity� of this field, while the hierarchical hegemony provokes the dynamic �domination� and �resistance� within this field. Therefore, the study finally argues that the China Internet celebrity field seems to be a pyramid model rather than the rectangle which Bourdieu originally proposed
