To do so, I analyze 27 daily vlogs of Korean expatriates living in Hong Kong, New York, and Tokyo. The vloggers present the mundanity of everyday life, using chronological organization, quick scene transitions, micro-details, and “historical present” (Wolfson, 1979). These vlogging strategies, I argue, create alignment with viewers, signaling that “my daily life is just like yours.” Simultaneously, the vloggers make everyday vlogs engaging and entertaining through offering explanatory notes and not providing translation of what is being spoken, especially when they present foreign city lives, cultures, and languages they experience by virtue of living abroad, to signal “my daily life is different from yours.” Everyday vlogging of Korean expatriates, as a type of “lifestreaming” (Marwick 2013), involves meaning making and identity construction processes through which Korean expatriates skillfully exert and express agency in (ab)normalizing their expatriate self and life, in connection to others, and thus achieve self-legitimacy and -empowerment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 100784"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211695824000308/pdfft?md5=2b5149e8e882210da098ac9c9c8e61b4&pid=1-s2.0-S2211695824000308-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140644590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I draw on a qualitative and quantitative discourse analysis of migration frames to distinguish three types of perceived migration-related problems: security-based, economic, and cultural. I make a further distinction based on whether these problems are causally explained by: (1) reference to migrants’ alleged culture and religion or (2) the socioeconomic conditions they experience in the recipient country.

Commenters post text messages next to the subtitled videos while they are streaming, and their comments thus relate in specific ways to the artefact they complement. We explore what aspects apparent in fan subtitles are taken up in timed comments by comparing our own corpus of such timed comments (KTACC-A) to our corpus of English fansubtitles to the same Korean television-drama (KSUBV-A). Positioning the comments relative to the fan subtitles allows us to explore the linguistic features that characterise timed commenting as a video-oriented practice and to theorise artefact-orientation in terms of transtextuality. Using noun frequency and keyness as measures of comparison, we confirm the importance of sharing emotive stance and humour support. For artefact orientation, we highlight a shared focus between timed comments and subtitles on the events and characters of the plot. However, in comments, evaluation of such plot elements plays a key role, whereas highly descriptive and specific aspects are either omitted or at times referred to by means of deictic expressions. We emphasise that both comments and subtitles are enrichments of the videos that become themselves part of the artefact and point of orientation for subsequent viewers and discuss the transtextual dimension of timed comments and different types of transtextuality as dimensions along which members of the community may understand the overall artefact.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"58 ","pages":"Article 100756"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211695824000023/pdfft?md5=725597507d554ec732d16f0b7e43f0fb&pid=1-s2.0-S2211695824000023-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140134500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focus on tweets containing “Trump”, as these occurred frequently throughout the corpus, to assess the ways in which Twitter users engage with discourses surrounding Covid-19 relative to the then-US President.</p><p>Focusing on the local contexts of the tweets we, first, demonstrate the contrasting social values indexed by specific keywords and hashtags. We refer to these as countervalues (Bearth, 2005) that illustrate the multiple and competing valorisations of terms for Covid-19 and which lead to the reproduction of two main contrasting discourses. The first illustrates that Covid-19 is “fake”, “a hoax”, and is explicitly linked indexically with China and tends to appear in tweets by pro-Trump users. A second set of discourses emerges in opposition to the pro-Trump tweets where categorisations of the virus as fake or a hoax are described by users as moronic, links to China are described as racist, and users demonstrate an explicitly anti-Trump ideology. We conclude that the recirculation of these discourses is evidence of sociological fractionation (Agha, 2007), as we see the pro-Trump group resisting the scheme of values put forward by the anti-Trump group. To this end, we contribute to the body of research that sheds light on the participatory frameworks enabled by social media affordances.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 100758"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211695824000047/pdfft?md5=d15ae030b082d6e8bec4f36978da36fd&pid=1-s2.0-S2211695824000047-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140024443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
