Abstract

The excess of mystery and ‘meaning’ in Twin Peaks: Season 3 (2017) reflects the post-truth ontological dissonance of information overload, tantalising the thirst for answers that dominates digital communication. Combining its clues and codes with payoffs for ‘long-term fan investments’ (Hills, 2020: 197) situates the series between two modes of fan participation: the curative puzzle-solving of complex ‘Quality TV’, and cult television’s ‘hyperdiegesis’. Season 3 is complex cult television, encouraging forensic and creative engagement. Replicating the polarisation of contemporary discourse while simultaneously promoting algorithmic literacy informs Mark Frost’s politicised vision for Twin Peaks, and David Lynch’s aesthetic experiments amplify this.

“让它有意义”:《双峰:第三季》中的邪教和复杂的电视剧迷、后真相话语和意义过剩

《双峰:第三季》(2017)中过多的神秘和“意义”反映了信息超载的后真相本体论失调，激起了对主导数字通信的答案的渴望。将其线索和代码与“长期粉丝投资”的回报相结合(Hills, 2020: 197)，将该系列置于粉丝参与的两种模式之间:复杂的“高质量电视”的治疗性谜题解决，以及邪教电视的“超叙事”。第三季是一部复杂的邪教电视剧，鼓励法医和创造性的参与。马克·弗罗斯特(Mark Frost)在《双峰》(Twin Peaks)的政治化愿景中，复制了当代话语的两极分化，同时促进了算法素养，大卫·林奇(David Lynch)的美学实验放大了这一点。
