Sumario:Using it as an important example for her theory building on subjectification via new social media platforms, Lin illuminates the ways in which Matsu netizens actively participated not only in sharing but also in imaginatively building on the content of the series. The dominant theme is that the educated Matsu diaspora in Taiwan and post-liberalization returnees have used social media to inspire local islanders' social actions, collective memories, and a shared sense of being.
