Scholars have underestimated comics as an art form. This article uses an analysis of unreliable narration to show the complexity of this narrative mechanism in comics and, in turn, the sophistication of comics. Groensteen divides comic narrators into reciters and monstrators, and this distinction provides the basis to discuss unreliable narration in comics. This article categorizes comics with unreliable narration into mono-sequence and dual-sequence unreliable narrations according to the picto-verbal relationship in the works. Moreover, medium-specific features of comics such as spatialization of time and panel designs lead to unique types of unreliability.

Crave TV's niche hit Letterkenny is packed with exercises in wordplay and examinations of semantics that serve various functions in its presentation of life in small-town Canada. This article examines how the progymnasmata of classical rhetorical education and the linguistic comedy bits in Letterkenny serve a similar role in preparing their users (and viewers) to both engage in a specific type of dialogue and establish and enforce moral boundaries as are accepted in the society in which they live and participate, and how fan circulation of these language memes reflects the transference of those morals to the culture.
Crave TV 的小众热播剧《Letterkenny》充满了文字游戏和语义学研究，在展现加拿大小镇生活的过程中发挥了各种作用。本文探讨了古典修辞学教育的前言和《Letterkenny》中的语言喜剧片段如何发挥类似的作用，使其使用者（和观众）既能参与特定类型的对话，又能建立和执行他们所生活和参与的社会所接受的道德底线，以及这些语言备忘录在粉丝中的流传如何反映了这些道德对文化的影响。

Esports and the broader professionalization of playing video games demonstrates the neoliberal project's continuing expansion across new horizons. By transforming leisure into labor and extracting value from play, major gaming and digital media companies extend the commodity life of video games beyond the sale of the games themselves and into the actual play and even spectatorship of the games. As these companies continue to reframe the actual playing and watching of video games as product, the physical performance of the players' bodies becomes increasingly troublesome, a physical disruption of the media corporations' digital feedback loop.

Analyzing the comedy of Ziwe Fumudoh, this paper examines how repeated comedic bits can challenge white audiences' disingenuous anti-racism, satirize toxic white womanhood in the U.S., and script what is possible when white feminists demonstrate sincere attempts at cross-racial connection. Each artifact from Ziwe's comedy—an interview with chef Alison Roman, a musical sketch titled “Lisa Called the Cops,” and an interview with activist Gloria Steinem—carve out productive modes of confrontation. Ziwe satirizes the ridiculousness of white performative allyship and toxic white womanhood, and demonstrates the push and pull between hope and hopelessness of structural progress in the U.S.
本文通过分析紫薇-福姆多（Ziwe Fumudoh）的喜剧作品，探讨了反复出现的喜剧片段如何挑战白人观众虚伪的反种族主义、讽刺美国有毒的白人女性形象，以及当白人女权主义者真诚地尝试跨种族联系时可能出现的情况。Ziwe 喜剧中的每件艺术品--对主厨艾莉森-罗曼（Alison Roman）的采访、名为 "丽莎报警"（Lisa Called the Cops）的音乐小品以及对活动家格洛丽亚-斯坦因（Gloria Steinem）的采访--都开创了富有成效的对抗模式。Ziwe 讽刺了白人表演性盟友关系和有毒的白人女性形象的荒谬性，并展示了美国结构性进步的希望与绝望之间的推力和拉力。

Antiques Roadshow Events are held in historic locations across the United Kingdom. On site, experts evaluate objects brought in by attendees, who are often cast as passive recipients, while edited highlights make up the long-running BBC TV program. Through Collaborative Event Ethnography at one Roadshow Event we show how object stories are navigated through “value talk” between attendees and experts in front of live audiences. Value is not a measurement but a dimension of the thing and its context. Stories and money are both integral in understanding worth, and final valuations are only partially shaped by given expertise.
