DESCRIPTION:How do aesthetics influence urbanism and consumption in Chine
 se cities? And how should we understand what has been called the 'intern
 et celebrity city' (wanghong chengshi) and 'internet celebrity' aestheti
 cs in contemporary urbanism? To consider these issues\, Dr Amy Yueming Z
 hang will discuss how an aesthetic of arts districts is constructed\, tu
 rning arts districts into not only places for consumption but also place
 s to be consumed in China. The talk first considers how two art district
 s\, 798 in Beijing and Huangjueping in Chongqing\, are portrayed and ima
 gined in mass media\, local knowledge\, and public discourses. Through a
 n analysis of the districts\, two aesthetic aspects are identified: a my
 stery aesthetic and a collage aesthetic. Dr Zhang and discussants will t
 hen consider how 'internet celebrity city' (wanghong chengshi) has come 
 to be\, the influence of the internet celebrity (wanghong) aesthetic and
  the impact of influencers and their followers on urbanism. \n
