ABSTRACTIn this article, I examine Stonewall Forever, a mobile augmented reality (AR) application developed by Google and the U.S. National Parks Service, that superimposes computer-generated imagery into users’ lines of vision to shape public memories of the Stonewall National Monument. I argue the app functions rhetorically as a visual-material chronotope because it spatiotemporally reorients visions toward otherwise hidden contexts in which multiply marginalized people acted as primary agents in the events surrounding the Stonewall riots. However, even as the app renders visible the contributions of minoritized communities in a landmark moment in LGBTQ + history, it repackages the bodies of now deceased trans of color revolutionaries as icons within a homonationalist frame, obscuring the ongoing callousness of a nation-state that has yet to provide systemic protections for the very identities it memorializes. My criticism of the app focuses on how institutional powers may leverage emerging visual media to generate more inclusive historical storylines as a technique for both managing changing cultural expectations regarding representational diversity and to serve national interests, a nascent but nonetheless profound effect of the gradually coalescing domains of queer monumentality and official U.S. commemorative traditions.KEYWORDS: Digitalarchivepublic memorychronotopehomonationalism Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
在这篇文章中,我研究了石墙永远,这是一个由b谷歌和美国国家公园管理局开发的移动增强现实(AR)应用程序,它将计算机生成的图像叠加到用户的视线中,以塑造公众对石墙国家纪念碑的记忆。我认为,从修辞上讲,这款应用的功能是一种视觉材料的计时器,因为它在时空上将人们的视野重新定向到隐藏的背景中,在这些背景中,许多边缘化的人在围绕石墙骚乱的事件中扮演了主要角色。然而,尽管这款应用在LGBTQ +历史上具有里程碑意义的时刻,展示了少数群体的贡献,但它在同性恋民族主义框架内,将现已去世的跨肤色革命者的遗体重新包装为图标,掩盖了一个民族国家持续的冷酷,这个国家尚未为它所纪念的身份提供系统保护。我对这款应用的批评主要集中在机构权力如何利用新兴的视觉媒体来产生更具包容性的历史故事情节,作为一种技术,既能管理关于代表性多样性的不断变化的文化期望,又能服务于国家利益,这是酷儿纪念性和美国官方纪念传统逐渐融合的领域所产生的一种新生但却深刻的影响。关键词:数字档案,公共记忆,时间,民族主义披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。

Post-racial politics and the mandate to desire: interracial love as liberation in Bridgerton 后种族政治与欲望的授权:布里杰顿的跨种族之爱作为解放

ABSTRACTShonda Rhimes’ latest televisual sensation updates her post-racial and post-feminist fantasies for a post-Trump world. Discarding her trademark colorblind casting, Bridgerton confronts racial tensions and gender disparities within a fanciful reimagining of the aristocracy of colonial Britain. Yet, in a move familiar to longtime viewers of Shondaland, the means of resistance to such injustice is gratuitous displays of interracial relationships. Bridgerton constructs a historical fantasy that centers authentic love and desire as the exclusive mechanism for constructing a post-racial and post-feminist society. Through love, the English aristocracy is transformed into a permissive, racially inclusive matriarchy wherein one’s duty is to live and love authentically. While previous scholarship has contextualized Rhimes’ work within neoliberalism, I argue that the racial and gendered politics of Bridgerton are more adeptly understood through Fisher’s theory of capitalist realism, which describes contemporary capitalism’s investment in mystifying authority and equating authentic consumption with identity construction.KEYWORDS: Post-racial politicspost-feminist politicscapitalist realismtelevisionpopular culture Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
摘要珊达·莱姆斯最新的电视轰动更新了她对后特朗普世界的后种族和后女权主义幻想。布里杰顿抛弃了她标志性的不分肤色的选角,在对殖民时期英国贵族的幻想中,直面种族紧张关系和性别差异。然而,对于长期观看《尚达兰》的观众来说,抵制这种不公正的手段是无端地展示种族间的关系。布里杰顿构建了一个以真爱和欲望为中心的历史幻想,作为构建后种族和后女权主义社会的唯一机制。通过爱,英国贵族被转变为一个宽容的、种族包容的母系社会,人们的责任是真诚地生活和爱。虽然之前的学术研究将莱姆斯的作品置于新自由主义背景下,但我认为,通过费雪的资本主义现实主义理论,可以更熟练地理解布里杰顿的种族和性别政治,该理论描述了当代资本主义在神秘化权威和将真实消费等同于身份建构方面的投资。关键词:后种族政治后女权主义政治资本主义现实主义电视流行文化披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。

Platforming inclusion at U.S. media industry events: confronting Hollywood’s lack of representational diversity 美国媒体行业活动的平台包容性:面对好莱坞代表性多样性的缺乏

ABSTRACT Incremental structural adjustments define attempts to advance representational diversity in Hollywood. This essay considers U.S. media industry events as catalysts for change. Using the 2020 Austin Film Festival and Writers Conference as a case study, I examine how attendees platformed the topic of inclusion after summer protests reignited calls for equity throughout media industries. Participant observation across the festival's virtual spaces locates my critical deconstruction of four panels wherein representation of historically underrepresented groups, including Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC), was a focal point. Although the festival did not overtly engage with the political moment, it platformed people who did. Conversations on craft fed into a ubiquitous conference concern with “truth” in storytelling, foregrounding sociohistorical contexts and individual specificities when representing diverse experiences, and highlighting positionality when empowering writers to tell their stories. Despite the constraints of dominant production norms, events enable underrepresented groups and their allies to shape industry discourses.
渐进式结构调整定义了好莱坞推进代表性多样性的尝试。本文认为美国媒体行业的事件是变革的催化剂。以2020年奥斯汀电影节和作家大会为例,我研究了在夏季抗议活动重新点燃整个媒体行业对公平的呼吁之后,与会者如何为包容的话题搭建平台。在艺术节的虚拟空间中,参与者的观察定位了我对四个展板的批判性解构,其中包括历史上未被充分代表的群体,包括黑人、土著和其他有色人种(BIPOC),这是一个焦点。尽管电影节并没有公开参与政治,但它为参与政治的人提供了平台。关于工艺的讨论融入了一个无处不在的会议中,即在讲故事时关注“真相”,在代表不同经历时突出社会历史背景和个人特征,在赋予作家讲述故事的权力时强调位置性。尽管受到主导生产规范的限制,但事件使未被充分代表的群体及其盟友能够塑造行业话语。

Fan-Based citizenship in “Mary Poppins Quits”: fannish affect, public affect, and the potential for solidarity 《玛丽·波平斯辞职》中的粉丝公民权:粉丝效应、公众效应和团结的潜力

ABSTRACT On July 23, 2014, the fiftieth anniversary of Disney’s Mary Poppins, Funny or Die released a video titled, “Mary Poppins Quits with Kristen Bell,” earning more than 4 million views. In the video, Mary Poppins sings to the tune of “A Spoonful of Sugar” while calling for an increase to the federal minimum wage. Understanding fan-based citizenship performances like “Mary Poppins Quits” requires understanding how affect moves between popular culture, fans, and citizens. I argue that Mary Poppins functions as a figure that conducts affect across and between fan-citizens, calling on fans to treat minimum wage workers through the same affective orientation with which they treat Mary Poppins. To make this argument, I draw on work in fan studies and rhetorical studies to define fannish affect and public affect. Turning to my analysis of the “Mary Poppins Quits” video, I argue the video conducts affect through celebrity personae, destabilizes the “worthiness” discourse that often frames minimum wage workers as unworthy of a higher wage, and demands new orientations to one’s fellow citizens. Ultimately, I argue that moving affect from popular culture objects to the public sphere opens up new opportunities for solidarity but carries limitations as well.
2014年7月23日,为纪念迪士尼电影《欢乐满人间》上映50周年,《欢乐满人间》发布了一段名为《欢乐满人间》的视频,点击量超过400万。在视频中,玛丽·波平斯一边唱着“一勺糖”的曲调,一边呼吁提高联邦最低工资。要理解像“玛丽·波平斯辞职”这样以粉丝为基础的公民表演,就需要理解流行文化、粉丝和公民之间的影响是如何移动的。我认为,玛丽·波平斯是一个在粉丝之间传递情感的人物,她呼吁粉丝们用对待玛丽·波平斯的情感取向来对待最低工资工人。为了证明这一观点,我借鉴了粉丝研究和修辞研究的成果来定义粉丝情感和公众情感。转到我对“玛丽·波平斯辞职”视频的分析,我认为视频通过名人的角色产生了影响,破坏了“价值”话语的稳定,这种话语通常将最低工资的工人视为不值得更高的工资,并要求人们对自己的同胞有新的定位。最后,我认为将影响从流行文化对象转移到公共领域为团结提供了新的机会,但也有局限性。

ABSTRACT In this queer reading of the 1985 horror sequel Freddy’s Revenge, I use Halberstam’s theory of queer failure to interrogate cultural mechanisms that validate and invalidate a film’s memory. The 2019 documentary Scream, Queen! guides my queer celebration of Freddy’s Revenge. The movies converge to create profound, low theoretical insights into queer desire at the apex of the AIDS pandemic. The essay challenges heteronormative impulses commonly used to frame a media artifact as significant and successful enough to merit investigation.
在这篇对1985年恐怖片续集《弗雷迪的复仇》的酷儿解读中,我用哈伯斯坦关于酷儿失败的理论来质疑那些证实和否定电影记忆的文化机制。2019年的纪录片《尖叫,女王!》指引着我对弗雷迪复仇的奇异庆祝。这些电影汇聚在一起,对艾滋病流行高峰期的酷儿欲望进行了深刻的、低理论的洞察。这篇文章挑战了通常用于将媒体工件定义为重要和成功的足以值得调查的异规范冲动。

Black monstrosity and the rhetoric of whiteness in Disney’s Zombies trilogy 迪士尼僵尸三部曲中的黑色怪物和白色修辞

ABSTRACT Drawing from strategic whiteness and guided by racial rhetorical criticism, this article analyzes Disney’s Zombies movie trilogy. Situated within the context of anti-Critical Race Theory policies and the use of children and K-12 education as political pawns, the timely release of Zombies as a postracial narrative motivates this research. Through the positioning of humans, zombies, werewolves, and aliens as fixed symbolic racial groups within the imagined utopian United States town of Seabrook, Zombies presents an ideology of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) that sustains white power and fluidity. This rhetorical analysis presents three conclusions. First, the imaginary utopian town of Seabrook is a postracial space developed around stereotypical racialized characters and narratives that contribute to the historical marginalization of Indigenous, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI), and Black people. Second, through the protagonist Zed and the cinematic construction of zombies, the trilogy perpetuates a postracial anti-Blackness via the inscription of a policed and controlled monstrosity onto Black identity. Third, the second protagonist, Addison, engages in the propagation of whiteness via voyeuristic racial tourism and white purity. In total, the children’s mediated narrative upholds white centrality and power obviated by contemporary DEI discourses and representations.
本文以战略白人为背景,以种族修辞批评为指导,对迪士尼的《僵尸三部曲》电影进行分析。在反批判种族理论政策和将儿童和K-12教育作为政治棋子的背景下,《僵尸》作为一种后现代叙事的及时发布激发了这项研究。通过将人类、僵尸、狼人和外星人定位为想象中的乌托邦式美国小镇西布鲁克中固定的象征性种族群体,《僵尸》呈现了一种多样性、公平和包容(DEI)的意识形态,这种意识形态维持了白人的权力和流动性。这一修辞分析得出了三个结论。首先,虚构的乌托邦小镇西布鲁克是一个后种族空间,围绕着刻板的种族化角色和叙事发展而来,这些角色和叙事导致了土著、亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民(AAPI)以及黑人的历史边缘化。其次,通过主角Zed和僵尸的电影构造,三部曲通过将一个被警察和控制的怪物铭刻在黑人身份上,延续了一种后种族的反黑人性。第三,第二个主人公艾迪生通过偷窥性的种族旅游和白人纯洁性来传播白人。总的来说,儿童的中介叙事维护了当代DEI话语和表现所避免的白人中心地位和权力。

The right to believe: constructions of white Christian victimhood in the God’s Not Dead series 信仰的权利:《上帝未死》系列中白人基督徒受害者身份的建构

ABSTRACT This essay argues that the Christian independent film series God’s Not Dead operates to further affective investment in white Christian nationalism. I combine Lundberg’s (2009) analysis of evangelical publics with Kelly’s (2020) concept of ressentiment to explore how the series acts as performances of white Christian marginality Further, the felt marginality of conservative Christians in the series is aligned with civil rights movements and identity politics. I argue that the God’s Not Dead series is an illustrative example of how media in the conservative Christian culture can operate to maintain investments in white Christian nationalism that can motivate political action and justify violence.
本文认为基督教独立电影系列《上帝未死》是对白人基督教民族主义的进一步情感投资。我将Lundberg(2009)对福音派公众的分析与Kelly(2020)的怨恨概念结合起来,探索该系列如何作为白人基督徒边缘化的表现。此外,该系列中保守派基督徒的边缘化感受与民权运动和身份政治是一致的。我认为《上帝未死》系列是保守基督教文化中的媒体如何维持对白人基督教民族主义的投资的一个说明性例子,这种投资可以激发政治行动并为暴力辩护。
