This paper argues that elemental media studies, which emphasize the entanglements between humans and non-humans, can offer new avenues for addressing the challenges faced by post-humanist heritage studies. Due to the importance of tourism for heritage revitalization, this paper examines the limitations of the local tourism industry’s understanding of the water element in the context of the tourism plan of the Sangyuanwei Polder Embankment System, particularly the neglect of the destructiveness of water. It also investigates human-water interactions in the history of SPES through elemental analysis, examining how water as a medium of life has inspired human affects, feelings, actions, as well as facilitated the transformation of and communication with water through the development of water-related engineering and social institutions. By focusing on the affective aspects of the elements, as well as revisiting the histories and local knowledge, elemental aesthetics derived from elemental analysis aims to reconnect humans to the elements as media of life, thus allowing for the initiation of dialogs with heritage management and tourism. The elemental aesthetics of water for the life of heritage sites aiming at flood control has often included the destructive characteristics of water, as well as the complex feelings of fear, awe, reverence, and dedication that it stirs. Based on this, this paper also points out a possible new orientation for the future development of water-related heritage sites.
本文认为,强调人与非人之间纠葛的元素媒介研究可以为应对后人文主义遗产研究面临的挑战提供新的途径。鉴于旅游业对遗产振兴的重要性,本文结合三元围围垦堤防系统的旅游规划,探讨了当地旅游业对水元素理解的局限性,尤其是对水的破坏性的忽视。本研究还通过元素分析法研究了三元围圩堤系历史上人与水的互动关系,考察了水作为一种生命媒介如何激发人类的情感、感觉和行动,以及如何通过与水相关的工程和社会制度的发展促进水的转化和与水的交流。通过对元素情感方面的关注,以及对历史和当地知识的重温,从元素分析中衍生出的元素美学旨在将人类与作为生命媒介的元素重新联系起来,从而与遗产管理和旅游业展开对话。以防洪为目的的遗产地生活的水元素美学往往包括水的破坏性特征,以及它所激起的恐惧、敬畏、崇敬和奉献等复杂情感。在此基础上,本文还为与水有关的遗产地的未来发展指出了一个可能的新方向。

Precarious careers in the games industry have long relied on the unpaid and largely feminized support of spouses and family members. This paper addresses the role of spouses and other domestic cohabitants in the production of live game broadcasts on Twitch, Amazon’s world-leading platform in live video entertainment. I introduce the heuristic of the ‘Twitch Spouse’ to underscore the crucial role that domestic partners have played as invisible workers in the wider games industry, whose precarious conditions have been extended by the rise of at-home livestreaming. Drawing from ‘playful’ interviews and ethnographic observation with 12 Twitch creators located across the United States and Canada, I delineate three themes by which the partners of Twitch streamers vitally contribute to livestreaming: collaborative space production, the management of intimacy, and timekeeping. Herein, I show how a theorization of the ‘Twitch Spouse’ will build future pathways for recognizing the intertwined struggles of domestic and digital work within the precarious horizons of the game industry. This paper argues that Twitch streamers’ conceptualizations of intimate partners’ supportive labour reinforce domesticity and visibility as co-extended forces in the evolving relevance of digital labour to contemporary capitalism.
长期以来,游戏行业中不稳定的职业一直依赖于配偶和家庭成员的无偿支持,而且这种支持在很大程度上被女性化了。本文探讨了配偶和其他家庭同居者在亚马逊全球领先的视频娱乐直播平台 Twitch 上的游戏直播制作中所扮演的角色。我引入了 "Twitch 配偶 "这一启发式概念,以强调家庭伴侣作为隐形工人在更广泛的游戏产业中所发挥的关键作用,而家庭直播的兴起又扩大了他们的不稳定状况。通过对美国和加拿大的 12 位 Twitch 创作者进行 "游戏式 "访谈和人种学观察,我勾勒出了 Twitch 流媒体工作者的伴侣为直播做出重要贡献的三个主题:协作空间生产、亲密关系管理和时间管理。在此,我展示了 "Twitch 配偶 "的理论化将如何为认识游戏产业岌岌可危的地平线上家庭和数字工作的交织斗争建立未来的途径。本文认为,Twitch 流媒体对亲密伴侣支持性劳动的概念化强化了家庭性和可见性,使其成为数字劳动与当代资本主义不断发展的相关性中共同延伸的力量。

Remediated memory, digital witnessing and engagement: A qualitative analysis of the interactive documentary ‘The Space We Hold’ 补救记忆、数字见证和参与:对互动纪录片《我们拥有的空间》的定性分析

This paper sets out to study how creative documentary practices deconstruct traumatic memory, and then digitalise witnessing and engagement afforded by digital technology in the award-winning online interactive documentary The Space We Hold. Premised on culture memory studies and documentary studies, the social function of the documentary in reshaping narratives and forging public engagement has been discussed in this research. Interactive documentary becomes the unique visual artistic medium that allows the wider public to bear witness and emotionally experience the meaning of a traumatic past. This interactive project is reviewed as one site of memory to answer the main research question: ‘How does hypermediacy in an interactive documentary enable this non-linear storytelling structure to reframe the narrative and identity of a community that struggles for social justice?’. Along with presenting direct provocation through the innovative hypernarrative, this interactive documentary focuses on victims’ current lives, familial feelings and their contribution in pursuit of justice, showing depth in reflection and density in life. By exploring how The Space We Hold acts as a bear and agent to enhance audience engagement, I contend that the documentary is restyled as a space that allows individual memory to intertwine with collective memory through the combination of authorial expressivity and interactive participatory. In this pragmatic and reflexive approach to bear traumatic witness, we sense the constant battle between stigmatised communities and their reinterpreting narratives.
本文旨在研究创意纪录片实践如何解构创伤记忆,然后在获奖的在线互动纪录片《我们拥有的空间》中将数字技术提供的见证和参与数字化。本研究以文化记忆研究和纪录片研究为前提,讨论了纪录片在重塑叙事和促进公众参与方面的社会功能。互动纪录片成为一种独特的视觉艺术媒介,让更多的公众见证并从情感上体验创伤过去的意义。本研究将互动项目作为一个记忆点进行回顾,以回答主要的研究问题:"互动纪录片中的超中介性如何使这种非线性叙事结构重构一个为社会正义而奋斗的社区的叙事和身份?这部互动纪录片除了通过创新的超叙事呈现直接的挑衅之外,还关注受害者的当下生活、家庭情感以及他们为追求正义所做的贡献,展现了反思的深度和生活的密度。通过探讨《我们的空间》如何作为一种承载和媒介来增强观众的参与度,我认为这部纪录片通过作者的表达性和互动参与性的结合,重新塑造了一个让个人记忆与集体记忆交织的空间。在这种务实和反思性的创伤见证方式中,我们感受到了被污名化的社区与他们重新诠释的叙事之间的持续斗争。

The recent advent of ChatGPT has stirred substantial attention and debates, potentially altering the dynamics across various industries, notably marketing. This pioneering study delves into the public reactions and applications of ChatGPT within marketing realms. Leveraging a text-mining methodology, a corpus of over 600,000 tweets harvested before and after ChatGPT’s launch from January 2021 to April 2023 was scrutinized to gauge public sentiment towards AI-incorporated tools in marketing, and to unearth the predominant themes within public discourse. Initial findings unveiled a buoyant public sentiment towards AI-facilitated tools, which however, ebbed in January 2023, driven by apprehensions regarding AI technology’s limitations and potential perils. Subsequent months witnessed a rebound in sentiment, stabilizing above the positive threshold, as Twitter users increasingly acknowledged ChatGPT’s prospective merits on employment and daily lives. However, compared to the period before the introduction of ChatGPT, there has been a decline in the general public’s sentiment towards AI in marketing. Furthermore, the analysis discerned a convergence in the core topics broached by the public concerning AI and ChatGPT’s ramifications on marketing. While the automation of mundane tasks and heightened customer experience were lauded, trepidations surrounding job displacement and the ethical quandaries of supplanting human labor with machines surfaced. This exposition recommends that enterprises meticulously assess the prospective impact of AI on their personnel, advocating for the judicious and ethical deployment of such emergent technologies.
最近,ChatGPT 的出现引起了广泛的关注和讨论,有可能改变各行各业的动态,尤其是市场营销领域。这项开创性的研究深入探讨了公众对 ChatGPT 的反应以及 ChatGPT 在营销领域的应用。利用文本挖掘方法,我们仔细研究了 ChatGPT 发布前后(2021 年 1 月至 2023 年 4 月)的 600,000 多条推文语料库,以衡量公众对营销领域人工智能工具的看法,并揭示公众讨论的主要议题。初步调查结果显示,公众对人工智能辅助工具的情绪高涨,但由于对人工智能技术的局限性和潜在危险的担忧,这种情绪在2023年1月有所减弱。随后几个月,随着推特用户越来越认可 ChatGPT 在就业和日常生活中的潜在优势,人们的情绪出现反弹,稳定在积极阈值之上。然而,与推出 ChatGPT 之前相比,公众对人工智能在营销中的应用的情绪有所下降。此外,分析还发现,公众就人工智能和 ChatGPT 对市场营销的影响所提出的核心话题趋于一致。在对琐碎任务的自动化和客户体验的提升表示赞许的同时,人们也浮现出对工作岗位流失的担忧,以及用机器取代人类劳动所带来的道德窘境。本文建议企业仔细评估人工智能对其员工的预期影响,倡导以明智和合乎道德的方式部署此类新兴技术。

Care(lessness) in precarious journalism, before and during the pandemic: Freelancers’ work-life experiences and coping strategies 在大流行之前和期间,不稳定新闻业中的 "不关心":自由职业者的工作与生活经历及应对策略

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, interest in care as a potential remedy for a variety of issues and crises, such as improving global health justice or creating more “caring” educational systems, has increased across academic disciplines. This article contributes to this literature from the perspective of journalism studies. It explores whether the notion of care captures and addresses one facet of the contemporary news industry crisis, namely the precarity of journalists. I focus on the work-life narratives of a small group of freelance journalists in Germany and Canada before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Applying a care lens articulates the struggles the freelancers experience regarding income, social security, housing, and childcare as a result of careless states and careless markets. Furthermore, the care practices journalists use as coping strategies merge mutual aid for fellow freelancers or members of their local communities with entrepreneurial networking for professional survival. However, such informal care practices cannot make up for structural gaps in support. Waged work—outside journalism—in the formal labor market, performed by the freelancers themselves or their life partners, turned out to be more important for coping with precarity. Overall, the pandemic meant more continuity than change for the care struggles as well as coping strategies of the journalists examined here. Nevertheless, those with residential property, gainfully employed life partners, and established care networks fared best, hinting at the crucial role of privilege in shaping the work experiences of precarious journalists during crises.
自 COVID-19 大流行以来,各学科对 "关爱 "作为解决各种问题和危机的潜在良方的兴趣与日俱增,如改善全球健康正义或创建更加 "关爱 "的教育体系。本文从新闻研究的角度对这些文献做出了贡献。文章探讨了 "关爱 "这一概念是否抓住并解决了当代新闻行业危机的一个方面,即新闻记者的不稳定性。我将重点放在德国和加拿大的一小群自由职业记者在 COVID-19 大流行之前和期间的工作与生活叙事上。从关爱的视角阐述了自由职业者在收入、社会保障、住房和育儿方面所经历的挣扎,这些挣扎是粗心大意的国家和粗心大意的市场造成的。此外,记者们作为应对策略所采用的关爱做法,将对同行自由职业者或当地社区成员的互助与为职业生存而建立的企业网络融为一体。然而,这种非正式的关爱做法无法弥补支持方面的结构性缺口。事实证明,自由职业者本人或其生活伴侣在正规劳动力市场从事新闻业以外的有薪工作,对于应对不稳定状况更为重要。总体而言,对于本文所研究的记者而言,大流行病对他们的生活困境和应对策略而言,更多的是延续而非改变。然而,那些拥有住宅财产、有收入的生活伴侣和已建立的照顾网络的记者表现最好,这表明特权在危机期间对不稳定记者的工作经历起着至关重要的作用。

Drawing on Polanyi’s concept of embeddedness, this article introduces the concept of “state-led embeddedness” to theorize non-competitive and subordinating state-platform relations in China. Under state-led embeddedness, platforms are not conceived first and foremost as private economic actors but as instruments for providing social good and resolving social problems. This article presents a qualitative thematic analysis of the official discourses about platforms for and against social good in four major cities that represent key technology and innovation hubs in China: Beijing, Hangzhou, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. The analysis reveals how platforms are discursively portrayed as emerging providers of social good, both nationally and locally. This discursive construction of platforms in conjunction with social good, in turn, encourages the state to legitimize collaborative governance and surveillance practices in cities like Beijing, Hangzhou, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. Finally, this study affords opportunities to regionalize platform studies in China by considering how diverse forms of intergovernmental relationships might result in diverse interpretations of a “platform for social good” in practical scenarios.
本文借鉴波兰尼的 "嵌入性 "概念,提出了 "国家主导的嵌入性 "这一概念,对中国非竞争性和从属性的国家与平台关系进行了理论分析。在 "国家主导嵌入 "的概念下,平台并不首先被视为私人经济行为体,而是提供社会福利和解决社会问题的工具。本文对代表中国主要科技创新中心的四个大城市中有关平台促进和反对社会公益的官方论述进行了定性专题分析:这四个城市分别是北京、杭州、上海和深圳。分析揭示了在全国和地方范围内,平台是如何在话语上被描绘成新兴的社会公益提供者的。这种将平台与社会公益相结合的话语建构反过来又鼓励了国家将北京、杭州、上海和深圳等城市的合作治理和监督行为合法化。最后,本研究通过考虑不同形式的政府间关系如何在实际场景中导致对 "社会公益平台 "的不同解释,为中国的平台研究区域化提供了机会。

With the development and transformation of contemporary Chinese urban areas, the production mechanism, place, and form of expression of urban public art are rapidly evolving. At the same time, urban planning is accelerating the disappearance of the urban “nearby” as a buffer zone and innovation space. Taking the Pearl River Delta region in China, and in particular, the historic city of Guangzhou and the immigrant city of Shenzhen as examples, this paper analyzes how urban groups perceive the nearby environment through the action of art through the evolution of urban culture. This paper proposes “nearby art,” a term that refers to the art form in which urban individuals or small groups from different backgrounds subtly target social issues and practice locally in complex urban surroundings. The concept of nearby art is based on the examination of trends toward diversification in public art. First, groups with different backgrounds have been playing a unique role in public art. Second, the places where public art is situated has extended to diverse and mixed urban spaces. In addition, diverse ways of interacting with public art have enriched the forms of expression of public art. Through nearby art, both creators and participants can better reflect on their present situation in life and rebuild social relations through interaction. This kind of art is increasingly becoming an important part of residents’ daily lives as it creates a more visual and fluid life esthetic. Simultaneously, it is constructing and disseminating narrative elements within urban culture by uncovering and integrating the diverse cultural content.
随着当代中国城市的发展和转型,城市公共艺术的生产机制、场所和表现形式也在迅速演变。与此同时,城市规划作为缓冲地带和创新空间的城市 "附近 "正在加速消失。本文以中国珠江三角洲地区,特别是历史名城广州和移民城市深圳为例,分析城市群体如何通过城市文化的演变,以艺术的行动感知附近的环境。本文提出的 "邻近艺术",是指来自不同背景的城市个体或小群体在复杂的城市环境中巧妙地针对社会问题进行本土实践的艺术形式。附近的艺术 "这一概念的提出是基于对公共艺术多元化趋势的研究。首先,不同背景的群体在公共艺术中发挥着独特的作用。其次,公共艺术的场所已扩展到多样化的混合城市空间。此外,与公共艺术互动方式的多样化也丰富了公共艺术的表现形式。通过身边的艺术,创作者和参与者都能更好地反思生活现状,在互动中重建社会关系。这种艺术创造了更加直观、流畅的生活美学,正日益成为居民日常生活的重要组成部分。同时,通过对多元文化内容的挖掘和整合,构建和传播城市文化中的叙事元素。
