Abstract

Despite critical and popular acclaim, the travel/food television series of Anthony Bourdain have not received much academic attention. This paper examines the negotiations required of the series’ production team with regard to industry and ethics, including engagement with multiple forms of ‘quality’ to acquire audience share, which can exist in tension with the ethical requirements of veracity and protecting factual media subjects from harm. Ultimately, this paper shows that, while the series did negotiate both industrial and ethical requirements with regard to the places and cultures they represented, they were prone to ethical slippage with regard to practitioner/subject Bourdain himself.

“这很好”:对安东尼·波登(Anthony Bourdain)的电视作品进行的工业、伦理分析
尽管受到评论界和大众的好评,安东尼·波登(Anthony Bourdain)的旅游/美食电视系列并没有得到太多学术关注。本文考察了该系列制作团队在行业和道德方面所需要的谈判,包括参与多种形式的“质量”以获得观众份额,这可能与真实性和保护事实媒体主体免受伤害的道德要求存在紧张关系。最后,本文表明,虽然该系列确实就其所代表的地方和文化达成了工业和道德要求,但就从业者/主体波登本人而言,它们容易出现道德滑坡。

期刊介绍: Critical Studies in Television publishes articles that draw together divergent disciplines and different ways of thinking, to promote and advance television as a distinct academic discipline. It welcomes contributions on any aspect of television—production studies and institutional histories, audience and reception studies, theoretical approaches, conceptual paradigms and pedagogical questions. It continues to invite analyses of the compositional principles and aesthetics of texts, as well as contextual matters relating to both contemporary and past productions. CST also features book reviews, dossiers and debates. The journal is scholarly but accessible, dedicated to generating new knowledge and fostering a dynamic intellectual platform for television studies.
