Beyond Retraumatization
Ethics guides for political science instruct researchers to avoid retraumatization of human subjects (for example, APSA 2022; Fujii 2012). Meanwhile, human subject research on sensitive topics, including violence and repression, has increased. This paper clarifies what is at stake when we talk about research participant distress and provides recommendations for handling concerns about trauma and retraumatization. It offers a new framework for tra…
Shared Demographic Characteristics Do Not Reliably Facilitate Persuasion in Interpersonal Conversations
Many efforts to persuade others politically employ interpersonal conversations. A recurring question is whether the participants in such conversations are more readily persuaded by others who share their demographic characteristics. Echoing concerns that individuals have difficulties communicating across differences, research finds that individuals perceive demographically similar people as more trustworthy, suggesting shared demographics could f…
Digital White Racial Socialization
The Internet has become a ubiquitous central element in the lives of adolescents. In this conceptual paper, we focus on digital white racial socialization (D-WRS), arguing: (1) for an expanded conceptualization of WRS as doings, and (2) that social media may be changing processes of WRS through an extension of traditional settings and through the creation of unique social contexts. We highlight the uniqueness of social media contexts due to the d…
Contested Images of Rape
This article analyzes recent cinematic portrayals of sexual violence committed during the second Sino-Japanese War, concentrating on films about the Nanjing Massacre. In China, where remembering is an issue of vital personal and political importance, wartime atrocities have been a common theme in television dramas and films since the 1980s. In Japan, where crimes committed by the Imperial Japanese Army are largely downplayed or ignored, the massa…
Mediated persona' and Hong Kong stars
Using Corner's (2003) theory of the mediated persona, this article analyses the image construction of Hong Kong stars Jackie Chan and Andy Lau. It will ask how these Hong Kong stars have negotiated Mainland Chinese stardom, particularly since the time of the handover in 1997 and in what ways the personae of these stars seek to appeal to Mainland fans and markets. The article will argue that Chan's Mainland persona has been constructed through a n…
