Abstract

It's entirely possible to watch all nine seasons of The Office without asking the obvious: Is Jim Halpert Looking at Me? The six-hundred-fifty times Jim looks at us and the six-hundred-fifty sins to which his famous glare responds result in a training that confers viewers with the ability to mime the mime; to recover Jim's stupid, vampiric face by matching it's subtle permutations, to dismiss the naïve exertions of others as stupid and embarrassing; to find success, comfort, and safety in the image of the pitiless scientist, the capitalist boss, and the fascist father.

吉姆-哈珀特在看我吗？吉姆-哈尔珀特的目光、《办公室》和法西斯表情

看完九季《办公室风云》（The Office）后，完全有可能不问一个显而易见的问题：吉姆-哈尔珀特在看我吗？吉姆看了我们六百五十次，而他那著名的炯炯有神的眼神又回应了我们六百五十条罪状，这就形成了一种训练，赋予观众模仿哑剧的能力；通过配合吉姆那张愚蠢、吸血鬼般的脸的微妙变化来复原它，将他人天真的努力视为愚蠢和尴尬；在无情的科学家、资本家老板和法西斯父亲的形象中找到成功、安慰和安全感。

期刊介绍： The popular culture movement was founded on the principle that the perspectives and experiences of common folk offer compelling insights into the social world. The fabric of human social life is not merely the art deemed worthy to hang in museums, the books that have won literary prizes or been named "classics," or the religious and social ceremonies carried out by societies" elite. The Journal of Popular Culture continues to break down the barriers between so-called "low" and "high" culture and focuses on filling in the gaps that a neglect of popular culture has left in our understanding of the workings of society.
