摘要

从 1953 年到 2023 年，大众媒体报道休-海夫纳和《花花公子》杂志的方式发生了变化。我的论点是，休-海夫纳及其著名作品的决定性叙事涉及五个不同的媒体角色，即企业家、活动家、悖论、悲剧人物和掠夺者。我以重要的杂志文章为中心信息点，考虑了《花花公子》的成功变化如何与第四波女权主义和 "我也是 "运动等感受结构的文化转变相结合，将休-海夫纳的主流形象从企业家霍雷肖-阿尔杰转变为淫秽的掠夺者。休-海夫纳去世后，媒体的关注承认他对美国人的生活产生了明确但不可否认的争议性影响。

Change in Meaning of Hugh Hefner and Playboy: From Horatio Alger to Sexual Predator

Between 1953 and 2023, mass media changed how they cover Hugh Hefner and Playboy magazine. My thesis is that the defining narratives of Hugh Hefner and his famous creation involved five distinct media personas, which were entrepreneur, activist, paradox, tragic figure, and predator. Using key magazine articles as central points of information, I consider how changes in Playboy's success combined with cultural shifts in the structure of feeling, such as fourth-wave feminism and the Me Too movement, to transform the dominant representation of Hugh Hefner from an entrepreneurial Horatio Alger to a salacious predator. Media attention after his death recognizes that Hugh Hefner had a definite but undeniably controversial influence on American life.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Communication Inquiry emphasizes interdisciplinary inquiry into communication and mass communication phenomena within cultural and historical perspectives. Such perspectives imply that an understanding of these phenomena cannot arise soley out of a narrowly focused analysis. Rather, the approaches emphasize philosophical, evaluative, empirical, legal, historical, and/or critical inquiry into relationships between mass communication and society across time and culture. The Journal of Communication Inquiry is a forum for such investigations.
