Introduction
Over the past decade, cancel culture and celebrity bashing have become prominent markers in public and academic discourse. They can lead to denoting public shaming or exclusion of individuals, brands, or organisations for perceived moral transgressions. Yet, these phenomena are far from stable or self-evident; they operate as contested moral and semiotic fields in which notions of guilt, accountability, and justice are constantly (re-)negotiated.…
Democratizing publishing in communication/media studies
Purpose The pervasive inequalities in communication/media studies publishing include a significant underrepresentation of scholars in the Global South, as authors and as members of editorial boards in the field’s top-ranked journals. However, to date, there has been little published work on the implementation of strategies to address these disparities. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents discussion in this regard for the journal Commu…

If I started to identify as a bird, would I stop being human?” Networked transphobia in lesbian popular culture spaces
Block (封杀)
Cancel culture in China has multiple specificities that invite further investigation, given the role of the state in producing content and regulating media platforms, alongside the distinct factors that can trigger canceling. This paper draws on social media posts, news articles, and government edicts for several illustrative cases, presenting a critical qualitative account about the involvement of ordinary media users, platforms, and state actor…

Introduction
This introduction to the special issue on the topic of “Centering Women on Post-2010 Chinese TV” presents a brief review of major topics in the scholarship on televisual representations of women in contemporary China. The issue includes five research articles that, collectively, address research gaps in studies of post-2010 Chinese televisual-cultural discourses to do with ethnic minority women, women’s media authorship, women’s extramarital roma…
Women on and Behind Chinese Entertainment Television
Women have been enjoying new forms of visibility in post-2010 Chinese entertainment television, not just onscreen, but also in paratextual discourses about women as content producers. By focusing on the promotional and reception materials about a female director/producer, Yu Lei, and her authorship in National Treasure (NT), a current Chinese variety show, this article analyzes how extratextual material operates in relation to female authorship i…
Introduction
This introductory article to the special Forum “Global TV Images of Female Masculinity in the 2010s” offers a reflection on the concept of “female masculinity” in global media and gender studies. Witnessing a growing number of TV representations of masculine girls and women worldwide, we present a summary of the four articles which comprise this themed Forum and address a number of key issues in their case studies, including televisual imaginarie…
What unholy Chart is this?!”
While intersections of scholarship and fandom have previously been discussed in terms of the scholar-as-fan, rather less theorized is the converse situation, where nonacademic fans draw on scholarly research and remake it as fan-circulated content. Gentleman Jack (BBC/HBO, 2019-present), a television series based on a real person, Anne Lister, about whom there is an existing body of scholarship, provides examples of this phenomenon, with fans exc…
Brand Nohomonationalism
In the last few years, Chinese ‘boys’ love’ television dramas (dangai) have attained immense popularity within China and globally. While state authorities are known to censor LGBTQ content, the Chinese state media has used guofeng (‘national style’) language to laud some such series, including The Untamed and Word of Honor, in nationalistic terms. Through effusively praising depictions of traditional Chinese culture while downplaying or obscuring…
Queer Production Studies
Queer production studies is a subfield of production studies that specifically considers the significance of queer identity for media producers, particularly as it relates to the creation of LGBTQ content. Its emergence as a named subfield did not occur until 2018, but there have been studies of queer production prior to that. While general production studies scholarship has focused on industrial production, the scope of queer production studies …
Rom-com without romonormativity, gays without homonormativity
This paper discusses the Singaporean web series People Like Us (Leon Cheo, 2016) as a text with characteristics of a romantic comedy that also challenges many generic conventions. In terms of production and distribution, the web series format enables content that might otherwise encounter funding or censorship challenges. With respect to content, People Like Us has two important distinctions. First, while depicting gay men’s pursuit of romance in…
Location, Location, Location? The Politics of ICA Conference Venues
Critiques about the Anglo-American-centricity of communication scholarship often center on citational practices, with a disproportionate number of (cis-, straight, male) white scholars cited in the most prestigious publications (see Chakravartty, Kuo, Grubbs, & McIlwain, 2018; Mayer, Press, Verhoeven, & Sterne, 2018). Another key, though less frequently discussed, issue concerns how place perpetuates racial inequalities in the field—for example, …
CommunicationSoWhite
The debates and critiques of #CommunicationSoWhite have arisen as responses to troubling academic and political contexts, which are complexly intertwined. We are in the midst of widespread expansion and ascendance of white supremacy globally, as disturbingly evident in the trajectories, rhetoric, and actions of Donald Trump in the United States, the United Kingdom's Boris Johnson, and the Golden Dawn in Greece, alongside the growing power of righ…
No Grand Pronouncements Here
Although there are numerous prominent examples of social media misuse, these cases should not disproportionately characterize the scope or potential of digital media participation as a whole. Using cancel culture as an entry point, this essay discusses how digital practices often follow a trajectory of being initially embraced as empowering to being denounced as emblematic of digital ills. However, while platforms such as Twitter do have characte…
A queer “socialist brotherhood
Discussing the mainland Chinese web series Guardian, adapted from a homoerotic “boys’ love” novel, this paper examines the practices and discourses of producers, viewers, and the state with respect to queer representation and readings in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), where media is regulated not just for sexual content but also sociopolitical principles. Even as the series made the central relationship between the two male characters non-…
Unmasking Masculinity
Unmasking Masculinity: Considering Gender, Science, and Nation in Responses to COVID-19In the early days of the CoVId-19 pandemIC, the reluctance of many men -including political leaders -to wear face masks became apparent, with normative masculinity coding the protective value of masks as indicative of a wearer's weakness. 1Commentators pointed to nations with women as heads-of-state doing better than several prominent nations led by men, highli…
LGBT Advocacy and Transnational Funding in Singapore and Malaysia
LGBT advocacy is an emergent site attracting transnational funding from an expanded set of donor types that now include private corporations, national governments, NGOs, intergovernmental organizations and public-private partnerships. This article discusses LGBT advocacy as involving an expanded range of issues that go beyond a traditional focus on HIV/AIDS prevention. The geographical focus is on Singapore and Malaysia, two Southeast Asian count…

Between text, paratext, and context
I discuss the concept of queerbaiting as emergent from viewer readings of both textual and paratextual content at a particular juncture of LGBT media representation. While fan works as paratexts have attracted attention for their queered readings and narratives, there has been little scholarly consideration of how official paratexts that suggest or address queer readings, particularly promotional material and public commentary from producers, inf…
Structural Approaches to Feminist Social Media Strategies
Recently, there have been several prominent cases in which social media have been central in acts of gender-based harassment and violence. For example, the 2012 sexual assault of a girl in Steubenv
A “Post-Gay” Era? Media Gaystreaming, Homonormativity, and the Politics of LGBT Integration
Logo, a U.S. network that launched in 2005 as an explicitly lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (Lgbt) channel, has been implementing a rebranding strategy that it labels gaystreaming. Drawing from Logo's internal documents and interviews with Logo staff, I situate the development, discourses, and effects of gaystreaming against Lgbt content elsewhere, shifts toward multiplatform programming, and Lgbt mainstreaming. Alongside industrial chang…

Reading the Romance of Fan Cultural Production
This paper considers fan music videos centering on Bianca and Lena, characters on the American daytime soap opera All My Children from 2003–2004. Though their romance was canonical, for many fans the videos provide more satisfying narratives than the show's episodes and hence illustrate how fans invested in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) characters and storylines renegotiate the texts of popular media. Yet while fan cultures have ofte…
