One of Cartoon Network’s most successful shows ever, Rick and Morty (2013–present) has established a cult following for its blend of dark humour and existential themes. However, the show is more than just a representation of popular nihilism; through its sustained engagement with nihilistic themes, it also demonstrates how nihilism can be embraced, exhausted, and potentially eventually surpassed in a popular context. Drawing on Richard Hoggart’s model of “social hermeneutics,” this article analyses key episodes as a means to think through the broader trajectory of nihilism as an influential element of twenty-first century popular culture.
瑞克和莫蒂》（Rick and Morty）（2013 年至今）是卡通网络有史以来最成功的节目之一，因其融合了黑色幽默和存在主义主题而受到追捧。然而，该剧不仅仅是流行虚无主义的代表；通过对虚无主义主题的持续参与，它还展示了虚无主义如何在流行语境中被接受、用尽，并最终有可能被超越。本文借鉴理查德-霍加特（Richard Hoggart）的 "社会诠释学 "模式，分析了其中的关键情节，以此思考虚无主义作为二十一世纪流行文化中一个有影响力的元素的广泛发展轨迹。

This paper examines the representation of trauma recovery in the television series I May Destroy You ( 2020 ). Research on rape in fictional television programmes overwhelmingly focus on rape myths or how rape is represented. There is scant research on recovery from rape trauma in television drama. This paper contributes to scholarship on rape in fictional television, through a focus on the process of trauma recovery. Michaela Coel’s portrayal of the struggle to recover from the traumatic experience of sexual assault, makes a nuanced contribution to debates on sexual violence, victim behaviour, and black British identity.

Using Netflix as a lens, this article identifies and unpacks three central interrelated myths – binge-watching, on-demand, and big data – surrounding global video-on-demand services. These myths are problematic because they make certain ideas about these services seem natural and self-evident, restricting our understanding of their role in culture and society. Moreover, these services provide little transparency and data access to evaluate their claims leading to a call for more media industry studies and empirical research. This article points to valuable avenues of inquiry, emerging from recent studies, that can serve as a source of inspiration for future research in this field.

This article presents a qualitative interview study of Finnish screenwriters and commissioners about the impact of generative artificial intelligence on the profession of screenwriting. We ask how screenwriters and commissioners see the benefits and risks of AI tools in screenwriting and how screenwriters see their changing profession in the future. We identify three stances towards AI-driven work practices in screenwriting. The functional, critical and curious stance reflect the ways in which the writers position themselves against AI technologies. Prompt engineering has emerged as a new skill in commanding AI and will become a conventional part of creative work.
