摘要

2019年，HBO有限电视剧《守望者》播出，获得了评论界的好评。1986年至1987年的《守望者》(Watchmen)漫画确立了世界的当代延伸，观众和评论员都将该剧视为对美国种族政治的批判性评论。使用Nexis Uni的新闻数据库，我们对31篇由主流电视评论家和/或作家撰写的关于该剧的新闻文章进行了归纳定性的内容分析。在各种评论中，出现了三个主要主题——白人至上主义、修正主义历史(特别是与1921年塔尔萨种族大屠杀有关的历史)和面具的力量。讨论了评论家/作家在吸引观众关注种族主题方面的作用。

White Supremacy, Revisionist History, and Masked Vigilantes: Understanding HBO’s Watchmen through the Eyes of Cultural Critics/Writers in Major Mainstream Newspapers

Abstract In 2019, the HBO limited television series Watchmen aired to critical acclaim. A contemporary extension of the world established by the 1986-87 Watchmen comic, viewers and commentators alike have viewed the show as a critical commentary on racial politics in the United States. Using Nexis Uni’s News Database, we conducted an inductive qualitative content analysis of 31 news articles written by mainstream television critics and/or writers about the show. Across reviews, three primary themes emerged—White supremacy, revisionist history (specifically pertaining to the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921), and the power of masks. The role of critics/writers in engaging audiences with themes about race is discussed.
