摘要

本文考察了gurugossip网站上以亚裔美国人为主的“反幽灵”社区，以探索YouTube明星米歇尔·潘(Michelle Phan)的反粉丝是如何在亚裔散居背景下融入审美文化意识形态的。对许多人来说，Anti-Phandom提供了一个在线空间，在这里，人们可以通过米歇尔·潘(Michelle Phan)讨论对亚洲女性审美标准的个人担忧。在这些对话中，我认为反潘的表现形式是对潘在后女权主义形式的种族和民族女性赋权的抵制。然而，这些对潘的美的概念的反驳也产生了一个美丽的亚洲女性的标题，它使差异变得丑陋，创造了种族美和亚洲/美国文化的理想化定义，这些定义基于对流散妇女的本质分类。

Imagining the Perfect Asian Woman Through Hate: Michelle Phan, Anti-Phandom, and Asian Diasporic Beauty Cultures

This article examines the predominately Asian American “Anti-Phandom” community on GuruGossiper.com to explore how anti-fans of YouTube star Michelle Phan engage with ideologies of beauty cultures within Asian diasporic contexts. For many, Anti-Phandom provides an online space where personal concerns about female Asian beauty standards can be negotiated through Michelle Phan. Within these conversations, I argue Anti-Phans display forms of resistance to Phan's postfeminist forms of female empowerment on racial and ethnic terms. However, these counters to Phan's notions of beauty also produce a rubric of the beautiful Asian woman which renders difference as ugly, creating idealized definitions of racial beauty and Asian/American cultures based on essentialized categories that police diasporic women.

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.
