摘要

观点不能完全解决这个问题。书中给出的采访数据只涉及观众如何理解电视上的性别代表。这一点在观众对《一切都好》的看法中最为明显(都挺好, 导演简传和，2019，第160-5页）和《延禧宫记》(延禧攻略, 许凯东和温德光，2018，第170-8页）-采访陈述几乎没有增加我们之前对公众如何通过在电视上看到性别代表来发展“自我技术”的了解。此外，这些采访语录也与人们在中国社交媒体上看到的评论非常相似。最后，尽管这本书对专横的首席执行官（第4章）和小鲜肉（第6章）所体现的男性特征的出现进行了出色的谱系分析，但它在介绍外国人（第5章）或最高女英雄（第7章）的性别特征方面并没有投入同样的学术精力。尽管存在这些弱点，但这本书总体上是对中国电视的深思熟虑、引人入胜的重要分析。我们强烈推荐给对批判性媒体研究感兴趣的学生、学者和公众。

Book Review: TikTok: Creativity and Culture in Short Video by D. Bondy Valdovinos Kaye

views cannot fully address this issue. The interview data given in the book only address how the audience make sense of the televised gendered representation. This is mostly evident in the audience’s views on All Is Well (都挺好, dir. Jian Chuanhe, 2019, pp. 160–5) and The Story of Yanxi Palace (延禧攻略, dir. Hui Kaidong and Wen Deguang, 2018, pp. 170–8) – the interview statements add little to our prior knowledge of how the public actually develop ‘technology of the self’ via seeing gendered representation on television. Furthermore, the interview quotes are also quite similar to the comments one finds on Chinese social media. Finally, although the book provides an excellent genealogical analysis of the emergence of masculine traits embodied by bossy CEO (Chapter 4) and little fresh meat (Chapter 6), it does not invest the same academic vigour in introducing the gendered traits of foreigners (Chapter 5) or the supreme heroines (Chapter 7). Notwithstanding these weaknesses, this book overall is a thoughtful, intriguing, and important analysis of Chinese television. We highly recommend it to students, scholars, and the public interested in critical media studies.
