AbstractThis paper provides a cultural analysis of the popular Kuwaiti TV series Men Sharea El Haram (translated as From Haram Street). Combining religion, class, race, nationality, and patriarchy, Haram Street showcases pertinent issues that today’s Kuwaiti society has to face.

What does a feminist Kuwaiti vernacular look like, and how does it intersect with privilege?The analysis outlines how Men Sharea El Haram touches upon several silenced themes in the conservative Kuwaiti society of Kuwait, showing the many and varied ways in which Kuwaiti women are oppressed and showcasing the ways in which women can—and do—resist. Together, the findings provide a deeper understanding of several central issues in Kuwaiti society, especially around masculinity.Keywords: feminismintersectionalityKuwaitmasculinityMiddle Eastpatriarchyvernacular discourse Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 The hegemonic dimensions of the Men Sharea El Haram series, which are duly acknowledged here, are however beyond of the scope of this paper.2 While I invested much effort into conveying the meaning in English as close to the Arabic original as possible, I am aware of the risks associated with translation and have translated the script as accurately as possible without losing the meaning.
摘要本文对科威特热门电视剧《来自哈拉姆街》进行了文化分析。结合宗教，阶级，种族，国籍和父权制，哈拉姆街展示了当今科威特社会必须面对的相关问题。鉴于以往对白话社区研究的缺乏及其突出的问题，本文探讨了以下研究问题:“男人分享埃尔哈拉姆”如何捕捉到女性抵抗的交叉性?女权主义的科威特方言是什么样子的?它又是如何与特权相交的?该分析概述了Men Sharea El Haram如何触及科威特保守的科威特社会中几个被沉默的主题，展示了科威特妇女受到压迫的多种方式，并展示了妇女能够-并且确实-抵抗的方式。总之，这些发现让我们对科威特社会的几个核心问题有了更深入的了解，尤其是关于男子气概的问题。关键词:女性主义交叉性科威特男性主义中东父权制方言话语披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注1:此处适当承认的Men Sharea El Haram系列的霸权维度超出了本文的范围虽然我花了很多精力用英语表达的意思尽可能接近阿拉伯语原文，但我意识到翻译的风险，并在不丢失意思的情况下尽可能准确地翻译了剧本。

AbstractThis study explores whether Mambo’s Chicken advertisements objectify women or not. Guided by the Magic Meaning theory in advertising, the study explores the discourses that emanate from Mambo’s Chicken’s advertisements’ portrayal of women. Methodologically, this study is qualitative. Data was collected using digital archival research and analyzed using Mazid’s approach to Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The study establishes that indeed, Mambo’s Chicken ads are sexist and objectify women. While Mambo’s Chicken ads exude creativity based on trending issues and scandals, Mambo’s Chicken creates gender stereotypes that objectify women. The thigh (sex) and yellow bone discourses portray women as sex toys born and bred solely for men’s pleasure.KEYTERMS: Fast food outletsgenderMambo’s Chickenobjectification Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe authors received no direct funding for this research.

AbstractHip-Hop continues to be one of the most influential music genres in the modern era. Such impact necessitates scholars to engage in Hip-Hop discourses to comprehend its power in shaping and understanding various individuals’ experiences, attitudes, values, and beliefs. To that end, this essay explores the rhetoric of Black male vulnerability as it is expressed in Hip-Hop by Black male artists. We contend that studying the rhetoric of Black male vulnerability articulated by Hip-Hop artists assists in better understanding the realities and sensibilities of Black men and boys, one of the most vulnerable populations. To accomplish this task, we analyze Kendrick Lamar’s “the Heart Part 5” to explore how he constructs a rhetorical definition of Black male vulnerability. Our analysis asserts that Lamar recognizes the vulnerabilities of Black males through lyrically conveying their relationship to emotional suffering and death, oxymoronic peer networks, and illuminating Black males’ varied reactions to trauma. We conclude that attending to the vulnerabilities of Black males as articulated in Hip-Hop propels scholars to move beyond understanding Black males as deviant, toxic, and the racialized counterparts of white males. Such a nuanced understanding of Black male culture may improve their life chances in a white supremacist society.KEYTERMS: Black male studiesBlack male vulnerabilityHip-Hop rhetoricKendrick Lamar Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s)Notes1 In postcolonial and anti-racist engagement, this study uses a lowercase “w” when referring to white individuals and capitalizes Black when referring to Black individuals to combat historical writing conventions that perpetuate white supremacy (see Bauder, Citation2020; Lanham & Liu, Citation2019).
hip - hop仍然是当代最具影响力的音乐类型之一。这种影响需要学者们参与Hip-Hop话语，以理解它在塑造和理解不同个人的经历、态度、价值观和信仰方面的力量。为此，本文探讨了黑人男性艺术家在嘻哈音乐中所表达的黑人男性脆弱的修辞。我们认为，研究嘻哈艺术家所表达的黑人男性脆弱性的修辞有助于更好地理解黑人男性和男孩的现实和情感，这是最脆弱的群体之一。为了完成这一任务，我们分析肯德里克·拉马尔的《心》第五部分，探讨他如何构建黑人男性脆弱性的修辞定义。我们的分析表明，拉马尔通过抒情地表达黑人男性与情感痛苦和死亡的关系，矛盾的同伴网络，以及阐明黑人男性对创伤的不同反应，认识到黑人男性的脆弱性。我们的结论是，关注Hip-Hop中所阐述的黑人男性的脆弱性，推动了学者们超越了将黑人男性理解为越轨、有毒和白人男性的种族化对手。对黑人男性文化的这种细致入微的理解可能会提高他们在白人至上主义社会中的生存机会。关键词:黑人男性研究黑人男性脆弱性嘻哈修辞肯德里克·拉马尔披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突注1在后殖民和反种族主义参与中，本研究在提到白人个体时使用小写的“w”，在提到黑人个体时使用大写的“Black”，以对抗延续白人至上主义的历史写作惯例(见Bauder, Citation2020;Lanham & Liu, Citation2019)。

AbstractA fraction of Hispanic people in the U.S. uses Spanish-language news because a language barrier prevents them using English-language news. Functional theory suggests ethnic media serve ethnic community needs ignored by mainstream media. Research on how Spanish-language news serves U.S. Hispanic communities and differs from English-language news typically studies large, politically liberal cities with large Hispanic populations, neglecting Hispanic people living elsewhere. Content analysis of local newscasts to assess differences between network-affiliated, English-language television stations and the Telemundo affiliate serving a mid-sized, midwestern, politically conservative market addresses these limitations. An analytic framework derived from functional theory categorizes community needs as informational and representational. Results show significantly different agendas between Spanish- and English-language news. Spanish-language news airs more human interest and government stories and fewer crime stories. It addresses unique informational needs, helping orient newcomers and airing government stories that sustain ties to Spanish-speaking countries. Regarding representation, results show Hispanic people are invisible to a greater extent than they are negatively portrayed in English-language news. Thus, Spanish-language local television news serves the Hispanic community by making it visible to itself. However, Spanish-language news focuses on the Hispanic community rather than being a general news source, supplementing rather than substituting for English-language news.Keywords: Ethnic mediafunctional theorylocal newsminority representationSpanish-language newstelevision news AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank Joseph Trujillo Falcón and David Candy for their help with data collection and coding.

在美国，有一部分西班牙裔人使用西班牙语新闻，因为语言障碍使他们无法使用英语新闻。功能理论认为，民族媒体服务于主流媒体忽视的民族社区需求。研究西班牙语新闻如何服务于美国的西班牙裔社区，以及它与英语新闻的不同之处，通常研究的是拥有大量西班牙裔人口的政治自由的大城市，而忽略了生活在其他地方的西班牙裔人。对当地新闻节目进行内容分析，以评估网络附属的英语电视台与Telemundo附属电视台之间的差异，这些电视台服务于中西部中型、政治上保守的市场，解决了这些限制。从功能理论衍生出的分析框架将社区需求分为信息性需求和表征性需求。结果显示，西班牙语和英语新闻的议程有显著差异。西班牙语新闻更多地播放人情味和政府新闻，而较少播放犯罪新闻。它满足了独特的信息需求，帮助新来者定位，并播出政府故事，维持与西班牙语国家的联系。在代表性方面，调查结果显示，西班牙裔在更大程度上是隐形的，而不是英语新闻对他们的负面描述。因此，西班牙语地方电视新闻通过使其自身可见来服务于西班牙裔社区。然而，西班牙语新闻侧重于西班牙裔社区，而不是一般的新闻来源，补充而不是取代英语新闻。关键词:民族媒体功能理论地方新闻少数民族代表性西班牙语新闻电视新闻致谢作者要感谢Joseph Trujillo Falcón和David Candy在数据收集和编码方面的帮助。他们要感谢Patrick C.

AbstractThe study examines ways the cultural variance framework (CVF) enhances vaccine confidence messaging among African American healthcare consumers concerning coronavirus. The main emphasis lies in the “We Can Do This” campaign, which employs CVF to develop tailored social media, advertising, and televised commercials to actively involve African Americans and advocate for the advantages of the coronavirus vaccine. This qualitative study seeks to fill a gap in health communication literature by investigating how CVF, as a sub-feature of audience-centered messaging, engages with African Americans, encouraging their active engagement in vaccine participation. The findings reveal that contextual specificity, cultural identity, and characteristic features of the CVF play a significant role in fostering vaccine confidence among African Americans using culturally tailored messaging. The study explicates conceptual implications for future interventions prioritizing African Americans regarding health disparities.KEYTERMS: African AmericanCOVID-19cultural variance frameworkhealth communicationvaccine confidence Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 African American refers to persons with Sub-Saharan African ancestral origins with Brown or Black complexion.

AbstractAfricans’ voices and contributions to communication scholarship are of interest to many Africanists. Some discourses have explored reasons for this interest. This article continues this conversation. It recognizes the challenges contributing to the limited influence of the African voice in global communication scholarship and contributes to the theorizing of the African media. There are a range of factors impeding robust African engagement in global communication scholarship. These factors are explored in this paper. However, African scholars should look beyond these factors. The first part of the article explores reasons for the lack of active African input in this discussion. The second part of the paper explores the peculiarities of Africa that should form building blocks for the emergence of African media typologies.

Some discourses have explored reasons for this interest. This article continues this conversation. It recognizes the challenges contributing to the limited influence of the African voice in global communication scholarship and contributes to the theorizing of the African media. There are a range of factors impeding robust African engagement in global communication scholarship. These factors are explored in this paper. However, African scholars should look beyond these factors. The first part of the article explores reasons for the lack of active African input in this discussion. The second part of the paper explores the peculiarities of Africa that should form building blocks for the emergence of African media typologies.
