ABSTRACTThis work examines the presence and impact of dance in Black sitcoms from kinetic, historical, and cultural perspectives. In a sitcom, the role of dance is one where actors can communicate with their bodies what they cannot verbalize. Signifying, or the use of mockery, repeated motifs, riddles, and other such devices as an embodied practice means that actors dancing in sitcoms are asserting their agency as performers and their legitimacy as human beings in a world that does not share this sentiment. The practice of signifyin(g) harkens back to minstrelsy, a realm of the performing arts from which sitcoms are a direct descendant. By looking at sitcoms from each of the designated sitcom eras as expressed by media scholar Robin R. Means Coleman, this article connects dance and comedy forms dating back to the mid-1800s and contemporary constructions of these forms in the bodies of actors like Will Smith, Alfonso Ribeiro, and Janet Hubert of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. As the fields of dance, screendance, and media studies ignore the importance of the moving body in Black sitcoms, the fields miss out on through lines between minstrelsy and present-day performing arts where dance is not a stand-alone genre. Dance has never been a stand-alone practice in the context of the Black body. In sum, Black dance in sitcoms offers viewers a welcome break from the trauma stories often depicted on screen, while still honouring the complexities of Black experiences and most notably, compelling us to settle into our own groove from the comfort of our living rooms.KEYWORDS: Televisionminstrelsydanceracismsexismactors Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 John B.

摘要本文从动态的、历史的和文化的角度考察了舞蹈在黑人情景喜剧中的存在和影响。在情景喜剧中，舞蹈的角色是演员可以用他们的身体来表达他们无法用语言表达的东西。象征，或者嘲弄，重复的主题，谜语，以及其他类似的手段作为一种具体的实践，意味着在情景喜剧中跳舞的演员在一个不分享这种情感的世界中主张他们作为表演者的能动性和他们作为人类的合法性。意义(g)的实践可以追溯到吟游诗人，这是一种表演艺术领域，情景喜剧是其直接后裔。根据媒体学者罗宾·r·米恩·科尔曼(Robin R. Means Coleman)的观点，本文将舞蹈和喜剧形式追溯到19世纪中期，并将这些形式在威尔·史密斯(Will Smith)、阿方索·里贝罗(Alfonso Ribeiro)和《新鲜的贝艾尔王子》(the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air)等演员身上的当代构造联系起来。由于舞蹈、电影和媒体研究领域忽视了黑人情景喜剧中运动身体的重要性，这些领域错过了吟游诗人和现代表演艺术之间的联系，舞蹈不是一个独立的流派。舞蹈从来都不是黑人身体背景下的独立实践。总而言之，情景喜剧中的黑人舞蹈为观众提供了一个受欢迎的休息时间，从屏幕上经常描绘的创伤故事中解脱出来，同时仍然尊重黑人经历的复杂性，最值得注意的是，它迫使我们离开舒适的客厅，进入自己的状态。关键词:电视部长性别歧视性别因素披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。注释1《约翰·b·奎克的吟游诗人》，1920年《最黑暗的美国》中的吟游诗人广告最初的新奥尔良吟游诗人，1876年《约翰·b·奎克的吟游诗人》，1920年《阿莫斯和安迪》将节目形式从夜间节目改为每周节目，然后改为唱片骑师节目珍妮克雷格减肥，1995.7 Dexatrim减肥药，1990.8 Slimfast, 1999.9 Special K, 1990。

ABSTRACTThis article discusses the tyranny of science and the masses’ reaction to it, considering the situation in which the overturned mask norm, which is different from the medically desirable mask norm, has been practiced in Japanese society. The model of the human being that science assumes is frequently inclined to be limited to a very narrow model of the modern citizen or a rational, ideal human being with sufficient information to make decisions. Such a metaphysical understanding of human beings and society does not assume that the masses will not accept it. As a result, science has no choice but to use mathematically derived fear to control the masses. Science will always have a tyrannical and magical character in the sense that fear is necessary for the realization of the scientific expectations of experts. To incite fear, technology should be not only scientific but also symbolic (ritualistic) in the society in which it is used. However, once the fear becomes a reality, the masses, instead of being increasingly frightened by it, begin to doubt the scientific explanations of the experts. As a result, the tyranny of science starts to collapse. It is in the masses, who are perceived as the furthest removed from science, that the opportunity exists for science to be relativized.KEYWORDS: COVID-19technocracymaskriskfearmasses Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsJiro HaneJiro Hane, born in Yokohama, Japan, is an associate professor in the school of Political Science and Economics, Meiji University, Tokyo.

We are all spectators of the times to varying extents. With the commencement of the twenty-first century, our spectator experience began to transform, becoming more scattered, divergent, and unsettled in response to technological advancement and the decline of consensus around social values, cultural meanings, and political agendas in the face of changes. In post-handover Hong Kong, a breach of meaning has been cumulatively caused by divided opinions on priorities (e.g. economic, democratic) and intensified by the contested narratives around history, identity, and reality. In the aftermath of the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill (Anti-ELAB) Movement, a discursive construction of authority and legitimation has taken place in legislative affairs, a renewed school curriculum, and official speeches, among other organized patterns of action. Against this backdrop, this paper will focus on the spectatorship of trauma that has been generated by community screenings and documentary filmmaking. Two case studies will be presented in terms of their distance (distant vis-à-vis immersive) from the epicentre of these traumatic events. The first case study will explore the spectatorship of visual trauma, in which authoritarian experiences were transmitted through social movement-themed documentaries (e.g. Ukraine’s Winter on Fire) and drama films (e.g. South Korea’s 1987 and A Taxi Driver) that gained popularity and stirred up noise in Hong Kong in the lead-up to 2019. The second case study will explore traumatic responses through bodily reactions to pain and suffering as captured in post-2019 Hong Kong cinema. On the whole, the paper will demonstrate how viewing experiences embody shared and individualized responses (e.g. resistance, resilience, retreat) and how understanding spectatorship allows us to discern the social sentiments, cultural implications, and affects generated at a particular time.

ABSTRACTIn Japan, young people are becoming increasingly apathetic about politics, while at the same time they are experiencing a rightward leaning and a growing sympathy for totalitarianism and authoritarianism. To understand this contradiction, we need to look at the digital communication environment in which they engage in political discourse. One of the most representative opinion leaders in this regard is Hiroyuki Nishimura. In recent years, Hiroyuki has become widely known as the ‘King of Refutation’ and is immensely popular among the young generation. He is very active in political and social issues, arguing in a logical and neutral manner. However, despite his enlightened mode of argumentation, his arguments have been perceived as accommodative to totalitarian and authoritarian perceptions. This paper argues that at the heart of this mode of refutation is a process of ‘decontextualisation’ and ‘recontextualisation’ which has resulted in reducing the complexity of the issue, making it comprehensible to the majority while oppressing minorities. And this mode of refutation and the processes of ‘decontextualisation’ and ‘recontextualisation’ are at the centre of the various digital communication platforms that he operates and that have become hubs of political communication around the world: 2channel, 4chan, Nico Nico Douga and YouTube clips. In this sense, the totalitarianism and rightward leaning of the young generation is not due to a specific ideology but is strongly conditioned by the communication environment. ‘Communication totalitarianism’ can be used to describe the totalitarianism and right-wing tendencies taking place in Japan.KEYWORDS: DepoliticizationcommunicationCMCtotalitarianismrightward leaning2channel Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 5channel, https://5ch.net (last access: January 25, 2023)2 For example, follow video have made a re-criticism to Western medias’ criticism of Covid-19 Policy of the Chinese Government.

ABSTRACTIn South Korea, which has seen a drastic power transfer from a progressive to an authoritarian government, a new form of the ‘weak-victim’ narrative has emerged in recent years, and changes and ruptures in the discourse on the weak have occurred. Young men in South Korea claim that they have been excluded from institutions, policies and systems and denied equal opportunities compared to women. It is brought to the fore the discourse of fairness.This article notes that a sense of faith in meritocracy is one of the contributors that generated the discourse of fairness. It examines how seemingly progressive policies conflicted with and were left stranded by the logic of fairness and meritocracy and takes a close look at why this happened. In addition, it reconstructs the social conditions that brought up the issue of fairness, investigating how the discourse of fairness emerged and how the significance of ‘fairness’ was shifted and re-conceptualized. Meanwhile, as the idea of meritocracy has become prevalent in society, a critical analysis of it was also conducted from multilateral angles. This article analyzes various aspects of the criticisms of meritocracy, discussing how we should view these criticisms and we can find possibilities to overcome the problematics of meritocracy.KEYWORDS: Meritocracyfairnessjusticethe weak-victim narrativeauthoritarianismSouth Korea Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 For example, see Al-Ghazzi’s article, ‘We will be great again: Historical victimhood in populist discourse’ (Citation2021).

Brooklyn, NY: Verso, 35.2 The Tang Ping (or lying flat) movement went viral when a user named Kind-Hearted Traveller shared a post that said, ‘Lying flat is justice’ on Chinese search engine Baidu’s discussion forum on the Chinese population in April 2021. Tang Ping is an attitude toward life that chooses to lie down with no zeal instead of struggling to meet social expectations. The term was banned in China soon after spreading online. Strictly speaking, lying flat-ism is not a term limited to men, but most memes portray young men lying down, so it can be said that young men represent the vanguard of this movement. 好心的旅行家, 2022. 躺平卽是正義[online]. 白度中國人口吧. available from: https://gnews.org/articles/380156 [Accessed 17 November 2022]3 Korean newsweekly SisaIn and public opinion research firm Hankook Research conducted an in-depth survey of 1,000 Korean adult men and women aged 19 or older on the topic of the ‘men in 20s phenomenon’ from March 20 to 22, 2019.

在韩国，经历了从进步政府到威权政府的剧烈权力转移，近年来出现了一种新形式的“弱者-受害者”叙事，关于弱者的话语发生了变化和断裂。韩国的年轻男性声称，他们被排除在机构、政策和制度之外，被剥夺了与女性平等的机会。关于公平的论述被提上了前台。本文指出，对精英统治的信念是产生公平话语的贡献者之一。它考察了看似进步的政策是如何与公平和精英政治的逻辑相冲突并被其困住的，并仔细研究了这种情况发生的原因。此外，它重构了产生公平问题的社会条件，探讨了公平话语是如何产生的，以及“公平”的意义是如何被转移和重新概念化的。同时，随着精英主义思想在社会上的盛行，也从多方角度对其进行了批判性分析。本文分析了对精英政治的批评的各个方面，讨论了我们应该如何看待这些批评，我们可以找到克服精英政治问题的可能性。关键词:任人唯贤、公平正义、弱势受害者叙事、威权主义韩国披露声明作者未发现潜在的利益冲突。注1例如，参见Al-Ghazzi的文章“我们将再次伟大:民粹主义话语中的历史受害者”(Citation2021)。与此同时，南希·弗雷泽关注了倾向于右翼民粹主义的工人阶级所遭受的伤害，并将其重新定位为进步民粹主义的组成部分。弗雷泽Citation2019。旧的在死去，新的不能诞生。2021年4月，一位名为“善良的旅行者”的用户在中国搜索引擎b百度的中国人口论坛上分享了一篇文章，称“平躺是正义”，“平躺运动”迅速传播开来。唐平是一种生活态度，选择毫无热情地躺下，而不是努力满足社会的期望。这个词在网上传播后不久就在中国被禁了。严格来说，躺平主义并不局限于男性，但大多数表情包都描绘了躺下的年轻人，所以可以说，年轻人代表了这一运动的先锋。好心的旅行家, 2022. <s:1> <s:1>在线]。白度中國人口吧. 3韩国新闻周刊《SisaIn》和舆论调查公司Hankook research于2019年3月20日至22日，以“20多岁男性现象”为主题，对1000名19岁以上的韩国成年男女进行了深度调查。这是一项包含208个问题的大规模网络调查，结果显示，韩国20多岁男性的态度与其他年龄层和性别群体不同。调查结果通过新闻媒体报道，引起了巨大的社会反响。后,研究结果与原始数据出版一本书:郑宋Citation2019,男性在20年代:少数男性的自我意识的诞生(“20대남자:남성마이너리티“자의식의탄생)。△SisaIN Book4:对于第一个问题“对男性的性别歧视更严重”，20多岁女性(38.6%)、30多岁以上男性(35.7%)、30多岁以上女性(22.8%)回答“更严重”。对于第二种说法“执法对男性不利”，11%的20多岁女性、26.7%的30多岁及以上男性和5.7%的30多岁及以上女性同意这一说法。关于男女在工作中专业技能的差异，20多岁的男性中，5.1%的人认为女性总体上是称职的;43.8%的人认为男性总体上是有能力的;44.8%的人认为男女之间没有显著差异。关于工作中的社交技能，在同一人口中，6.8%的人认为女性总体上是有能力的;41.9%的人认为男性之间没有显著差异;48%的人认为男性是有能力的。上述民意调查的其他问题突出了韩国年轻男性的独特观点。例如，在20多岁的男性中，75.9%的人认为韩国政府在性别平等政策方面做得很差，而53.6%的人认为韩国的执法对男性不利。千宽烈，郑汉毛，同上，38岁，32.7岁30岁以上男性中，对女权主义相关言论持强烈否定态度的男性占7.7%，比20岁男性的25.9%低18.2%。20多岁的女性中有12%、30多岁及以上的男性中有45.6%认同“男性在工作中更擅长专业技能”这一说法。88%的女性在20多岁和74岁之间。 Social theory of meritocracy: An attempt at explanation251,231 -232.26 Ibid, 251.27 We can refer to some suggestions for replacing the discourse of fairness with the theory of justice。shin citation2021。Rewriting fairness within the context of a larger justice(用更大的定义改写工程)。creation and criticism, 193。Kim Jeong Citation2022, A World after fairness(工程后的世界)，Changbi Publisher。

ABSTRACT This essay acknowledges the theoretical contributions, the perspective and the practices carried out by Jesús Martín-Barbero concerning the popular in connection with the cultural industry and the acknowledgment of what is our own in Latin America. Based on the Martin-Barberian concept of mass popular and without losing his contribution, a conceptual re-invention is suggested to report on the meaning of entertainment, coolture and celebrity citizenship that define mainstream pop in the XXI century. In this re-invention, it is suggested that popular is defined from the bastardization of mixing together the pop, the popular, the territorial and the ancestral.
