摘要

本文考察了黑人、土著和/或有色人种(BIPOC)助理在好莱坞的经历,重点关注那些为一线创意人员和高管工作的助理。我认为,尽管好莱坞行业致力于多元化、公平和包容性,但白人的逻辑和机制在好莱坞对待入门级员工的方式中仍然根深蒂固。本文分为三个部分:第一,将民权运动后的好莱坞历史化,并将其映射到当今美国和好莱坞的白人文化;其次,通过访谈、人口统计信息和调查反馈分析好莱坞行业门户如何留住BIPOC助理;最后,它考虑如何在好莱坞创造更公平的工作结构。这篇文章强调了娱乐媒体背后未公开的危害,以及对好莱坞BIPOC工作人员的经历给予更多关注的必要性。

“No wonder you have a diversity problem”: Hollywood’s systemic gatekeeping against assistants of color
Abstract This article examines the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and/or people of color (BIPOC) assistants in Hollywood, focusing on those who work for above-the-line creatives and executives. I argue that despite Hollywood industry’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, the logics and mechanisms of whiteness remain deeply ingrained in Hollywood’s treatment of entry-level workers. The article is divided into three sections: first, it historicizes post-Civil Rights Hollywood and maps it onto present-day US and Hollywood cultural whiteness; second, it analyzes how Hollywood industry gatekeeps BIPOC assistants using interviews, demographic information, and survey responses; and finally, it considers ways to create more equitable working structures within Hollywood. The article highlights the unpublicized harm behind entertainment media and the need for greater attention to the experiences of BIPOC workers in Hollywood.

期刊介绍: CCC provides an international forum for critical research in communication, media, and cultural studies. We welcome high-quality research and analyses that place questions of power, inequality, and justice at the center of empirical and theoretical inquiry. CCC seeks to bring a diversity of critical approaches (political economy, feminist analysis, critical race theory, postcolonial critique, cultural studies, queer theory) to bear on the role of communication, media, and culture in power dynamics on a global scale. CCC is especially interested in critical scholarship that engages with emerging lines of inquiry across the humanities and social sciences. We seek to explore the place of mediated communication in current topics of theorization and cross-disciplinary research (including affect, branding, posthumanism, labor, temporality, ordinariness, and networked everyday life, to name just a few examples). In the coming years, we anticipate publishing special issues on these themes.
