Cancel Culture: A Critical Analysis

Autor Eve Ng
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 mar 2023
“Cancel culture” has become one of the most charged concepts in contemporary culture and politics, but mainstream critiques from both the left and the right provide only snapshots of responses to the phenomenon. Takinga media and cultural studies perspective, this book traces the origins of cancel practices and discourses, and discusses their subsequent evolution within celebrity and fan cultures, consumer culture, and national politics in the U.S. and China. Moving beyond popular press accounts about the latest targets of cancelling or familiar free speech debates, this analysis identifies multiple lineages for both cancelling and criticisms about cancelling, underscoring the various configurations of power associated with “cancel culture” in particular cultural and political contexts.

Recenzii

“This material provides an interesting yet complex genealogy of the different but overlapping areas of popular culture, digital activism and national politics. … what should we think about both progressive and conservative commentators in the US and elsewhere who have condemned the cancel culture? … . Are these essentially examples of the same thing? If not, what are the critical differences, and yet are there any underlying similarities between contextually different cancellations? … These questions, and other related problems … are answered in this book in an interesting and clear way.” (Jan Servaes, indepthnews.net, June 2, 2022)

“Eve Ng’s new book … examines the phenomenon of ‘cancel culture’ from a critical media studies perspective, as both cancel practices (what people and institutional actors do) and cancel discourses (commentary about cancelling). … Her analysis moves beyond popular press accounts about the latest targets of cancelling or familiar free speech debates, and underscores the different configurations of power associated with ‘cancel culture’ in specific cultural and political contexts.” (Louisa Hann, New Books network, newbooksnetwork.com, May 11, 2022)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“We have been waiting for Eve Ng’s book on “cancel culture.” By plumbing the varied political and popular genealogies of cancel culture -- from fan communities and Black counter-publics to U.S. culture warriors and contemporary Chinese nationalisms -- Ng gives readers the tools they need to understand this ever-changing phenomenon, as well as the central role media culture plays in its transformation.”
- Carrie Rentschler, William Dawson Scholar of Feminist Media Studies, McGill University, Canada
“Eve Ng’s wide-ranging book maps the origins and diverse forms of "cancel culture" as it intersects with entertainment media, digital activism, and racial, national, and transnational politics. Written with gusto and sensitivity, this timely study illuminates the role of digital media in shaping popular cultural discourse. Highly recommended to all readers interested in contemporary media culture and politics.”
- Guobin Yang, Professor of Communication and Sociology, University of Pennsylvania, USA
