摘要
丹尼尔-布莱恩在2018年11月13日至2019年4月7日期间卫冕WWE冠军,为分析职业摔跤故事情节中政治、媒介体育、新自由主义和色盲意识形态的交集提供了一个有趣的案例研究。本研究通过文本分析,揭示了 WWE 如何利用布莱恩的统治在每周节目中传播意识形态。研究结果表明,布莱恩作为左派 "脚后跟 "的反派角色,象征性地将左翼政治与体育媒体中的新自由主义价值观对立起来。布莱恩败于非洲摔跤手科菲-金斯顿(Kofi Kingston)之手,通过体育媒体的美学再现了色盲意识形态和新自由主义。
“The Planet’s Champion” Daniel Bryan: How WWE Uses Sport, Neoliberalism and Colorblind Ideology in Professional Wrestling Narratives
Daniel Bryan’s WWE Championship reign, from November 13, 2018, to April 7, 2019, provides an interesting case study to analyze the intersection of politics, mediated sport, neoliberalism, and colorblind ideology in professional wrestling storylines. This study conducts uses textual analysis to uncover how WWE utilized Bryan’s reign to communicate ideologies in their weekly programming. The findings suggest that Bryan’s persona as a villainous leftist “heel,” symbolically positions left-wing politics as antagonistic to the neoliberal values exercised in sports media. Bryan’s defeat at the hands of African wrestler Kofi Kingston, reifies colorblind ideology and neoliberalism through the aesthetics of mediated sport.
