Communicating via photographs: A gendered analysis of Olympic athletes’ visual self-presentation on Instagram     

《Sport Management Review》2016,19(2):133-145

The purpose of this study was to examine Olympic athletes’ self-presentation on Instagram, a social media outlet on which users post photographs as their primary communication mechanism, in order to develop an understanding of the ways in which athletes use this medium as a communication and marketing tool to build their personal brand. Additionally, this research sought to understand whether differences existed between the utilisation of Instagram by male and female athletes. Drawing on Goffman's (1959) theory of self-presentation, this study examined eight purposively selected Olympic athletes’ Instagram photos. Findings revealed similarities to previous research on athletes’ use of written social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter, as the majority of photos posted by athletes were personal in nature, thus reflecting backstage performance strategies according to self-presentation theory. The results indicated that female athletes were more likely to share photos of themselves and photos taken in private settings, but male athletes who posted a wider variety of photos encouraged greater engagement from their followers. Personal brand management implications for athletes and sport organisations are examined in greater detail in the discussion.  相似文献   

The legend of Texas Western: journalism and the epic sports spectacle that wasn’t     

Phillip Hutchison 《Critical Studies in Media Communication》2016,33(2):154-167

This essay interrogates journalistic accounts of Texas Western College’s 1966 college basketball championship, a game in which an all-Black team defeated an all-White team. The analysis traces the evolving portrayals of the game over 45 years. In 1966 American journalists did not emphasize the racial aspects of the game and it was largely forgotten. Twenty-five years later, however, journalists reconstructed the game as a racialized legend, and this account evolved into an epic American narrative. The author argues that the epic portrayals, although aesthetically appealing, reflect problems with accuracy, appropriation, and commercial exploitation. The latter factor led to the legend’s motion picture adaptation as part of a troublesome “White Savior” cinema genre.  相似文献   

When postcolonial studies meets media studies     

Raka Shome 《Critical Studies in Media Communication》2016,33(3):245-263

This essay addresses (1) how postcolonial studies might inform and enrich media studies, especially as the latter is situated in the Communication discipline, and (2) how media studies may productively expand the terrain postcolonial studies, that thus far has been dominated by the fields of Literature and Comparative Literature. Focusing on, and challenging, issues such as the North Atlantic temporal logics that inform the received history of media studies, as well as contesting the narrow boundaries of literary studies for engaging in contemporary postcolonial media/ted cultures, this essay attempts to argue for the importance of postcolonial media studies.  相似文献

电子媒介时代儿童文学的文化价值     

谭旭东 《昆明师范高等专科学校学报》2007,29(2):16-20

电子媒介时代,儿童文学在建构儿童理想世界,呵护童年生命,塑造并促进社会“新人类”成长方面有着不可忽视的作用。儿童文学还为成人保留一个美好的童年,而这个童年是成人可以回归的精神家园,同时,儿童文学还可以实现成人与儿童的精神对话,并且某种程度上儿童文学也是成人的抵抗的文化政治,即面对被消解了主体精神的世界,面对被工具理性而剥离了灵与肉的社会,面对被横流的物欲而泯灭了求真爱美之心的社会,成人有可能借助儿童文学来实现他对现实世界的抵制和建设的文化理想。  相似文献
