With the globalization and commercialization of the development of the culture industry, Korean pop culture has become a global sensation (YONG, 2016). ]]> 2023-10-10 05:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739281305 tianqiq1 https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739296323 2023-10-10 05:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739296323 tianqiq1 https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739303542

It has responded to the third wave of feminism, namely post-feminism. However, previous studies on media research on the topic of Blackpink has mainly focused on global communication (Kanozia & Ganghariya, 2021), social media post (Wicaksono & Sholih, 2022), and fandoms effects (Amri, 2020; Chang et al., 2021), with a few studies focusing on the semiotic study of feminism in their music video (Isabel et al., 2022) and counter-publics like queering and feminist (Zhao, 2021). And the research on how Blackpink’s news report reflects female empowerment are largely missing. Thus, this study takes a new perspective to analyze this topic. ]]> 2023-10-10 05:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739307808 tianqiq1 https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739329980 In my study, I will analyze 10 news reports from five mainstream media outlets (BBC news, ABC News, CNN, and Billboard News) over a two-year period about Blackpink women empowerment through critical discourse analysis (CAD) to reveal the power relations, discourse patterns, and ideologies involved. ]]> 2023-10-10 05:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739329980 tianqiq1 https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739333886 By applying the theory of Fairclough (2010), three dimensions of the discourse will be analyzed, respectively text, discursive practice, and social practice. In a preliminary study of these news reports, some textual features are presented, for example, some words with feminine characteristics such as “short skirt”, “high heels”, “pink”, “sweet” and “playful” are frequently mentioned in the reports. Moreover, a few reports use metaphors to express a particular point of view and to convey the attitude of the news writer. For instance, “bottom-up world” indicates the conservative world and contrasts with the word “sexual liberation”. In the follow-up study, I will emphasize more on the contextual analysis level to analyze the power relationship, social context, and ideology behind it.]]> 2023-10-10 05:50:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739333886 tianqiq1 https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739337722 2023-10-10 05:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739337722 tianqiq1 https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739341495 2023-10-10 05:58:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739341495 tianqiq1 https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739345720 In summary, a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of Blackpink’s female empowerment in news report helps to provide insights into women’s place in the entertainment industry, media’s role, power relations, cultural differences, and global attention to feminist issues. In order to reveal how the media shapes and reflects social issues, thus providing a new perspective for future social, media, and cultural studies.]]> 2023-10-10 06:01:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739345720 tianqiq1 https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739353975 2023-10-10 06:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2739353975 tianqiq1 https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2755644944 2023-10-20 03:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tianqiq1/htlnrq1hnzznbyyw/wish/2755644944
