Turn on subtitles. Social media promised connection. But instead of convergence, we see fragmentation.
Today, I want to explore this phenomenon using a concept from Western philosophy—Michel Foucault’s “heterotopia”—and then place it in dialogue with contemporary Chinese political philosophy, which approaches fragmentation not as an inconvenience, but as a fundamental political risk. The central question guiding this episode is simple but profound:
Is social media a heterotopic space that fragments society—and if so, how should a society respond?
