Entertainment journalism has long been a marginal object of academic inquiry due to its reputation as a trivial distraction from public affairs journalism, yet this view has since been challenged by scholars who emphasize its substantive role in political discourse. Although previous research has disputed the idea that entertainment news helps audiences forge connections with public issues, the present study renews this line of inquiry at a time when this journalism has increasingly become a driver of political reporting and opinion, particularly in tandem with activism efforts addressing the media representation of marginalized identity groups as well as celebrity-fueled public advocacy. In-depth interviews are used to illuminate the interpretive processes of US audience members who engage online with this news, outlining how it is used as a resource for navigating the politics of media representation, for making political meanings from celebrity culture, and for fulminating right-wing backlash to cultural institutions.
长期以来,娱乐新闻一直是学术研究的边缘对象,因为它被认为是公共事务新闻的微不足道的分心,但这种观点受到了强调其在政治话语中的实质性作用的学者的挑战。尽管之前的研究对娱乐新闻帮助观众与公共问题建立联系的观点提出了质疑,但目前的研究更新了这条调查路线,因为新闻报道越来越多地成为政治报道和观点的驱动力,特别是与解决边缘化身份群体的媒体代表以及名人推动的公众倡导的激进主义努力相结合。深度访谈用于阐明在线参与这一新闻的美国受众的解释过程,概述它如何被用作导航媒体代表政治的资源,从名人文化中获得政治意义,以及对右翼对文化机构的强烈抵制。

This paper focuses on the radio’s novelty years in 1920s Turkey to examine how the functions of wireless technology as a material artifact are negotiated in ways that fashion a national auditory. Most studies on radio’s history prioritize sound, eliding people’s tinkering with the wireless as a technical object. Based on archival research and oral history interviews, I suggest that early radio as a material object required as much of its listeners’ attention as did the broadcast content. In young Turkey’s war-torn economy, the only affordable way to listen to radio was learning how to assemble a receiver. Few owners of manufactured radios also learnt how to fix frequent problems. To form a passive national auditory, the state monitored the cultivation of these technical skills by banning transmitter-construction while encouraging assembling/fixing receivers. In addition to the body’s visceral/affective capacities, then, nation-states also discipline technical skills while forming a national auditory.
本文关注的是20世纪20年代土耳其无线电的新颖性,以研究无线技术作为一种物质人工制品的功能是如何以塑造国家听觉的方式进行谈判的。大多数关于无线电历史的研究都优先考虑声音,而忽略了人们将无线电作为一种技术对象进行修修补补。根据档案研究和口述历史采访,我认为早期的广播作为一种实物,需要听众的注意力和广播内容的注意力一样多。在年轻的土耳其饱受战争蹂躏的经济中,唯一负担得起的收听广播的方式是学习如何组装一个接收器。很少有制造收音机的主人还学会了如何解决经常出现的问题。为了形成一种被动的国家听觉,国家通过禁止建造发射机而鼓励组装/修理接收机来监控这些技术技能的培养。那么,除了身体的本能/情感能力之外,民族国家在形成民族听觉的同时也规范了技术技能。

When a product is marketed according to gender, it is often positioned as a way for consumers to enact that gender. In the following pages, we trace how video game advertising “grew up,” transitioning from a broader focus on family entertainment into a more specific focus on selling toys to young boys and finally evolving into what we call “lad ads,” or advertisements designed to appeal specifically to straight male adolescents by playing on expectations of masculine heteronormativity. The legacy of these lad ads has contributed significantly toward solidifying the connection between video games and masculinity.
当一种产品根据性别进行营销时,它通常被定位为消费者制定这种性别的一种方式。在接下来的几页中,我们将追踪电子游戏广告是如何“成长”的,从更广泛地关注家庭娱乐转变为更具体地关注向年轻男孩出售玩具,并最终演变成我们所说的“男孩广告”,或者通过对男性异性恋规范的期望来吸引异性恋男性青少年的广告。这些男孩广告的遗产在巩固电子游戏和男子气概之间的联系方面做出了重大贡献。

Blood on the ice. Cheers when the injured athlete stands and limps off the field. Comebacks, backflips, and back injuries. Celebrity athletes are punished and rewarded for their abilities, including their ability to perform while injured or work through pain. Injuries, illness, disablement, and even death are not uncommon in celebrity culture broadly and the field of competitive sports more specifically. While critical disability studies often attends to disabled celebrities, less research and critical attention has been paid to the disablement of celebrity and the expectation and performance of injury or illness understood through the lens of ablenationalism. Focusing on international figure skating and the 2022 Winter Olympics, this paper offers a supercripping of athletic celebrity by interrogating how gender, race, age, and nationality impact a global audience’s view of vulnerability, risk, and harm. Analyzing media coverage of the event alongside popular discourse uncovers the impact of nationalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy on sports narratives and celebrity cultures of debilitation and disablement.
冰上有血。当受伤的运动员站起来一瘸一拐地离开赛场时,人们欢呼雀跃。回击,后空翻和背部受伤。明星运动员因他们的能力而受到惩罚和奖励,包括他们在受伤或痛苦中工作的能力。受伤,疾病,残疾,甚至死亡在名人文化中并不罕见,特别是在竞技体育领域。虽然批判性残疾研究经常关注残疾名人,但通过残疾民族主义的视角来理解名人的残疾以及对受伤或疾病的预期和表现的研究和批判性关注较少。本文以国际花样滑冰和2022年冬奥会为重点,通过探讨性别、种族、年龄和国籍如何影响全球观众对脆弱性、风险和伤害的看法,对体育名人进行了超级剖析。通过分析媒体对这一事件的报道以及流行话语,可以发现民族主义、白人至上主义和父权制对体育叙事和名人文化的影响。

Exploring data journalism practices in Africa: data politics, media ecosystems and newsroom infrastructures 探索非洲的数据新闻实践:数据政治、媒体生态系统和新闻编辑室基础设施

Extant research on data journalism in Africa has focused on newsroom factors and the predilections of individual journalists as determinants of the uptake of data journalism on the continent. This article diverts from this literature by examining the slow uptake of data journalism in sub- Saharan Africa through the prisms of non-newsroom factors. Drawing on in-depth interviews with prominent investigative journalists sampled from several African countries, we argue that to understand the slow uptake of data journalism on the continent; there is a need to critique the role of data politics, which encompasses state, market and existing media ecosystems across the continent. Therefore, it is necessary to move beyond newsroom-centric factors that have dominated the contemporary understanding of data journalism practices. A broader, non-newsroom conceptualisation beyond individual journalistic predilections and newsroom resources provides productive clarity on data journalism’s slow uptake on the continent. These arguments are made through the conceptual prisms of materiality, performativity and reflexivity.
关于非洲数据新闻的现有研究集中在新闻编辑室因素和个别记者的偏好上,这些因素是非洲大陆采用数据新闻的决定因素。本文通过非新闻编辑室因素的棱镜来检查撒哈拉以南非洲数据新闻的缓慢吸收,从而转移了这一文献。通过对来自几个非洲国家的杰出调查记者的深入采访,我们认为,要理解非洲大陆对数据新闻的缓慢吸收;有必要对数据政治的作用进行批判,它涵盖了整个非洲大陆的国家、市场和现有的媒体生态系统。因此,有必要超越以新闻编辑室为中心的因素,这些因素主导了当代对数据新闻实践的理解。一个超越个人新闻偏好和新闻编辑室资源的更广泛的、非新闻编辑室的概念,为数据新闻在非洲大陆的缓慢吸收提供了有效的清晰度。这些论点是通过物质性、表演性和反身性的概念棱镜提出的。

Public service media and race relations in postcolonial Britain: BBC and immigrant programming, 1965–1988 后殖民时期英国的公共服务媒体与种族关系:1965-1988年BBC与移民节目

This article explores how British Asians negotiated the politics of race in the formative years of British broadcasting from the 1960s to the 1980s. Marked by significant changes within the BBC and British society at large, this period saw the first institutional initiatives oriented towards Caribbean and Asian communities. Drawing on primary research materials from the BBC Written Archives, we analyse the Immigrant Programmes Unit and the Immigrant Programme Advisory Committees as sites where ideas of race, ethnicity and citizenship were continually debated and worked out. We argue that the BBC functioned as a profoundly asymmetrical contact zone in which British Asians’ efforts to counter assimilationist ideas and programmes were stymied by senior managers working with deeply ingrained ideas of cultural, ethnic and racial differences. Immigrants would be accommodated, but in ways that would not challenge the viewing habits of the majority or imagine solidarities across racial, ethnic and national lines.
本文探讨了在20世纪60年代至80年代英国广播的形成时期,亚裔英国人是如何处理种族政治问题的。这一时期,英国广播公司和整个英国社会发生了重大变化,首次出现了面向加勒比和亚洲社区的制度性举措。根据英国广播公司书面档案的主要研究材料,我们分析了移民项目单位和移民项目咨询委员会作为种族、民族和公民身份观念不断辩论和制定的场所。我们认为,BBC的功能是一个极不对称的接触区,在这里,亚裔英国人反对同化主义思想和节目的努力受到高级管理人员的阻碍,这些管理人员有着根深蒂固的文化、民族和种族差异观念。移民将得到接纳,但不会挑战大多数人的观看习惯,也不会让人联想到跨越种族、民族和国家界限的团结。

This paper sifts through the affective connotations and methodological issues that crop up during conversations about caste with dominant caste (savarna) women working in the Malayalam language film industry in Kerala, India, in the context of a heightened focus on gender in the post #MeToo era. Drawing on arguments from critical whiteness and critical race theories, it argues that caste ought to be viewed not just as an ontological entity but as an epistemological framework which shapes how knowledge about the world and selves are produced and transferred. It also explores the methodological challenges in broaching the topic of caste with women occupying powerful social locations and how in failing to explore caste in seemingly gender-focused studies, the researcher contributes to an epistemology of ignorance, rendering invisible a crucial power differential.
本文筛选了在印度喀拉拉邦马拉雅拉姆语电影行业工作的占主导地位的种姓(savarna)女性关于种姓的对话中突然出现的情感内涵和方法论问题,背景是在后#MeToo时代对性别的高度关注。根据批判性白人和批判性种族理论的论点,它认为种姓不应该被视为一个本体论实体,而是一个认识论框架,它塑造了关于世界和自我的知识是如何产生和转移的。它还探讨了在女性占据强大社会地位的情况下探讨种姓话题的方法论挑战,以及在看似以性别为中心的研究中未能探索种姓,研究人员如何助长了一种无知的认识论,使关键的权力差异变得不可见。

How to train your algorithm: The struggle for public control over private audience commodities on Tiktok 如何训练你的算法:Tiktok上公众对私人受众商品的控制权之争

Social media users are increasingly aware of the politics of their viewing habits, and they attempt to express these politics through interactions with proprietary algorithms. Combining theories about audience commodities with scholarship about “algorithmic imaginaries,” I define “algorithmically imagined audiences” as a kind of algorithmic imaginary, and I analyze 103 TikTok videos to explore how people attempt to politically engage with algorithms to position themselves within audiences. Although algorithms and audiences are proprietary, TikTokers believe they can reassert public control over audience commodities to engage in counterpublic world-making and to re-position themselves within imagined communities. While these practices are impactful, they have conceptual and practical limits; these same tactics are used to reprivatize audience commodities and to reinscribe the neoliberal capitalist underpinnings. This article raises questions for future researchers about the opportunities and limits of sociotechnical beliefs.
社交媒体用户越来越意识到他们观看习惯的政治,他们试图通过与专有算法的互动来表达这些政治。我将关于受众商品的理论与关于“算法想象”的学术研究相结合,将“算法想象的受众”定义为一种算法想象,并分析了103个TikTok视频,探索人们如何试图与算法进行政治接触,以便在受众中定位自己。尽管算法和受众是专有的,但TikTokers相信,他们可以重申公共对受众商品的控制,参与反公共的世界创造,并在想象的社区中重新定位自己。虽然这些做法是有影响力的,但它们有概念和实践上的限制;这些同样的策略被用来将受众商品重新私有化,并重新加入新自由主义资本主义的基础。这篇文章为未来的研究者提出了关于社会技术信念的机会和限制的问题。

This article addresses the features, affordances, and limitations that emerge when purchasing and using digital subscriptions, particularly streaming entertainment services. Using a qualitative approach through 15 in-depth interviews with European subscribers of digital services such as Netflix or Spotify Premium, the research inquired into the users’ personal experience with digital subscriptions. The results show two scenarios: in one, subscribers enjoy the flexibility and freedom offered with the digital subscription services to customize their media consumption and entertainment preferences; on the other, digital subscriptions limit and restrict the activity of their subscribers, for example, by fragmenting audiovisual content on different platforms.
本文讨论了在购买和使用数字订阅(特别是流媒体娱乐服务)时出现的功能、支持和限制。该研究采用定性方法,对欧洲数字服务用户(如Netflix或Spotify Premium)进行了15次深度访谈,调查了用户在数字订阅方面的个人体验。结果显示了两种情况:第一,用户享受数字订阅服务提供的灵活性和自由,可以定制他们的媒体消费和娱乐偏好;另一方面,数字订阅限制了用户的活动,例如,在不同的平台上分散视听内容。

Danmu has been gaining increasing popularity in Chinese video-sharing platforms where users can project their comments directly onto the original video. Its popularity resonates with the general trend where user-generated content plays an increasingly important role. This article investigates possible meaning-making shifts produced by danmu from the perspective of resemiotisation. By deploying the Appraisal framework, particularly the attitude system, this study examines the attitudinal meanings expressed in a video and its danmu version. Comparisons between the two sets of attitudinal meanings reveal two patterns of meaning-making shifts. One is a shift in perspective, that is from whose perspective a certain scenario is presented. The other is a shift in the characterisation of one participant in the video. These findings raise our awareness of the possible manipulation of meaning afforded by danmu, which allows viewers to contribute directly to the meaning making of the danmu video. Danmu’s enablement of viewers’ co-production greatly extends the meaning and the meaning potential that could be afforded by the original video, which calls for a reconsideration of the purpose of video sharing, and the relationship between the original producer and viewers.
弹木在中国视频分享平台上越来越受欢迎,用户可以将他们的评论直接投射到原始视频上。它的流行与用户生成内容扮演越来越重要角色的大趋势相呼应。本文从相似化的角度探讨了弹目可能产生的意义转换。通过运用评价框架,特别是态度系统,本研究考察了视频及其弹幕版本中表达的态度意义。两组态度意义的比较揭示了两种意义形成的模式。一个是视角的转变,即从谁的角度来呈现某个场景。另一个是视频中一个参与者的特征发生了变化。这些发现提高了我们对“弹舞”所提供的可能的意义操纵的认识,这使得观众可以直接为“弹舞”视频的意义制作做出贡献。丹木对观众共同制作的赋能极大地扩展了原视频所能提供的意义和意义潜力,这需要重新思考视频分享的目的,以及原制作者和观众之间的关系。
