  • Imagined Identity and Cross-Cultural Communication in Yuri!!! on ICE Tien-Yi Chao National Taiwan University
    ISSN: 2519-1268 Issue 9 (Summer 2019), pp. 59-87 DOI: 10.6667/interface.9.2019.86 Russia/Russians on Ice: Imagined Identity and Cross-cultural Communication in Yuri!!! on ICE tien-yi chao National Taiwan University Abstract Yuri!!! on ICE (2016; 2017) is a Japanese TV anime featuring multinational figure skaters com- peting in the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series. The three protagonists, including two Russian skaters Victor Nikiforov, and Yuri Purisetsuki (Юрий Плисецкий), and one Japanese skater Yuri Katsuki (勝生勇利), engage in extensive cross-cultural discourses. This paper aims to explore the ways in which Russian cultures, life style, and people are ‘glocalised’ in the anime, not only for the Japanese audience but also for fans around the world. It is followed by a brief study of Russian fans’ response to YOI’s display of Russian memes and Taiwanese YOI fan books relating to Russia and Russians in YOI. My reading of the above materials suggests that the imagined Russian identity in both the official anime production and the fan works can be regarded as an intriguing case of cross-cultural communication and cultural hybridisation.

    Patrick Lang’s Column 19th January 2020 NEWCOMERS DOMINATE FIRST WOMEN PARALLEL GIANT SLALOM AT SESTRIERE. A numerous and happy crowd enjoyed another day of exciting ski racing at Sestriere this Sunday in occasion of the maiden giant slalom parallel race organized on the final part of the sunbathed G. Agnelli course. After a series of intense one-to-one battles France’s Clara Direz prevailed in the last final beating little-known Austrian Elisa Moerzinger while Marta Bassino was 3rd after beating her teammate Federica Brignone, one of the two winners in Saturday’s race. After a round of qualification hold in the early morning, 32 competitors fought for points and honor on the short course which turned out to be tougher than expected for some of the favorites as Slovakia’s Petra Vlhova or USA’s Mikaela Shiffrin, both on the podium in Saturday’s giant slalom race. They of them didn’t survive the first rounds allowing Italy’s giant slalom team to celebrate another nice result with three of them ending among the top-5 as Sofia Goggia came in 5th. Clara Direz, who celebrated her first top-10 finish last month at Lienz, eliminated Shiffrin in the 2nd round while Vlhova lost in her first round by 0,05 seconds to Switzerland Aline Danioth who unfortunately suffered a bad crash in her following round. Alice Robinson from New Zealand also fell in the first round of 32 as well as Germany’s Viktoria Rebensburg. The 25-year-old French racer, who has been racing since seven years on the World Cup tour, was able to score points in three different giant slalom races this season including on Saturday when she was 13th here.
