Abstract

ABSTRACT In this essay, I analyze the rhetorical implications of removing sitcom episodes containing Blackface from streaming platforms. By situating Blackface performances within what I call their humor ecologies, I attend to the dynamic interplay between comedic reflexivity, racial humor ideology, comic personae, and network influence. I argue that these factors enable audiences to glean meaning from these performances that vary ideologically, and I call into question the value of removing these performances without considering them within their humor ecologies and contexts.

“黑人脸怎么了？”：将幽默生态理论化，将黑人脸视为讽刺

摘要在本文中，我分析了从流媒体平台上删除包含黑脸的情景喜剧剧集的修辞含义。通过将黑脸表演置于我所称的幽默生态中，我关注了喜剧自反性、种族幽默意识形态、喜剧人物和网络影响力之间的动态相互作用。我认为，这些因素使观众能够从这些意识形态不同的表演中获得意义，我质疑在不考虑幽默生态和背景的情况下删除这些表演的价值。
