摘要

摘要本文通过分析2015年墨西哥贩毒集团头目Joaquín“矮子”Guzmán越狱隧道的动画描述,解释了动画在为全球消费者创造引人入胜和情感共鸣的故事方面的优势。动画通过在流行文化网站和新闻媒体上将这个难以辨认的结构的某些特征呈现为易于交流的摘录,从而使隧道和“矮子”的逃脱故事得到了国际认可。这一分析考虑了动画作为一种传播媒介的几个特点,这些特点使它能够吸引全球共鸣的故事:缺乏语言标记、可扩展性、生动性。最后,文章总结了对新闻和政府报道中对非法基础设施的动画描述可能导致的混淆的批评,特别是为了支持视觉奇观而抹去更广泛的政治含义。关键词:动画隧道、墨西哥、墨西哥、走私、基础设施披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。这句话中的斜体字是我自己的,用来表示记者的声音上升到表达钦佩的时刻。官员们在发现第一个版本错误地将“矮子”的逮捕日期定为1月9日后,删除了这段视频,并在一个小时后上传了更新的视频。本文作者juan Llamas-Rodriguez是宾夕法尼亚大学安嫩伯格传播学院的助理教授。他是《边境隧道:美国-墨西哥地下媒体理论》(明尼苏达大学出版社,2023年)的作者。

Animating infrastructures, or how an illicit tunnel becomes a global media spectacle
ABSTRACTThis article explains the affordances of animation to create compelling and emotionally resonant stories for global consumption by analyzing the animated depictions of the tunnel used by Mexican cartel leader Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán to escape prison in 2015. Animation contributed to the international recognition of the tunnel and El Chapo’s escape story by rendering select characteristics from this otherwise illegible structure into easily communicative excerpts across popular culture sites and journalistic outlets. This analysis considers several features of animation as a communication medium that make it appealing for globally resonant stories: lack of linguistic markers, scalability, vividness. Finally, the article concludes with a critique of the obfuscations that may result from centering animated depictions of illicit infrastructures in journalistic and government reports, particularly the erasure of broader political implications in favor of visual spectacle.KEYWORDS: AnimationtunnelsCNNMexiconarcotraffickinginfrastructures Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1. The italics in this quote are my own, to signal the moments where the journalist’s voice rises to express admiration.2.
