First, we draw from the concept of narrative transparency and briefly discuss how late-night talk shows have the ability to appear culturally familiar despite their unfamiliar origins. Then we examine how the practice of 'subbing' by fans renders these shows accessible to other fans and viewers. The fan-subtitling help highlight certain elements of these shows, namely playfulness and contentiousness, which intersect with China’s Internet culture. Through interviews with fans and analysis of data from fan forum posts and online discussions, this study shows how these familiar interpretive tools help make sense of the American late-night talk shows and further provide a basis for consumption pleasure and reflexivity.展开更多

Among those thriving utopian and dystopian accounts, Ulises Mejias＇s book Off the Network： Disrupting the Digital World offers a dedicated and intensive investigation of the hegemony of digital network logic. Ulises Mejias is currently an associate professor in the State University of New York with main research interests in the fields of network theory and science, philosophy and sociology of technology, and political economy of digital media.展开更多
