The Internet As a Digital Thirdspace: Evolving Representations Of THE INTERNET AS A DIGITAL THIRDSPACE: EVOLVING REPRESENTATIONS OF ASIANS AND ASIAN AMERICANS IN POPULAR CULTURE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ENGLISH MAY 2019 By Edward Hunter Lee Dissertation Committee: Darin Payne, Chairperson Daphne Desser Gary Pak Shawna Ryan Christopher Bae Copyright © 2019 by Edward Hunter Lee All rights reserved i To my sons, Casey, Aiden, Nolan, and Terrence ii ABSTRACT In response to the nominations for the 2016 Academy Awards’ top acting categories, the 2015 hashtag, #OscarsSoWhite, was resurrected and addressed by almost every major news organization in North America. While many treated this as a “black and white” issue, the topic of media representations of Asian Americans (or a lack thereof) seemed to come to fore. Scholars and academics have addressed the recurring social constructions of Asian American “otherness” in the traditional mainstream media productions of Hollywood and popular culture, and research has shown that such representations affect how Asians and Asian Americans are perceived and treated by others and themselves. The advent of the Internet and its ability to disrupt the power arrangement that dominated American popular culture has enabled more equitable representations of Asians and Asian Americans. This study aims to reveal the rhetorical dimensions of the Internet as a Digital Thirdspace as a purveyor of popular culture and how this Digital Thirdspace’s productions of new media texts, texts created primarily in digital environments, are a convergence of exigence, the rhetoric of empowerment, the subaltern counterpublic (a space where members of marginal groups can communicate), and the dialectic of the participatory culture of Digital Thirdspace. This project reviewed of a selection of Asian American (or Asian) related new media texts on Digital Thirdspace and examined the content and participatory culture of YouTube. Analyses of the videos, online actions (e.g. “likes”), and comments demonstrated that the Internet not only provided a venue for beneficial representations for Asians and Asian Americans in media industries but also provided a space for like-minded individuals to create and/or strengthen communities due to the participatory culture of Digital Thirdspace. YouTube users have created a bounty of new media text selections for consumers, and among these are iii positive representations of Asians and Asian Americans in popular culture. These developments have countered the stereotypic tropes of Asians and Asian Americans that have been prevalent in American popular culture for generations. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ....................................................................................................................................... iii TABLE OF CONTENTS .................................................................................................................... v TABLE OF FIGURES ...................................................................................................................... vii CHAPTER ONE: CULTURAL REPRESENTATIONS IN POPULAR CULTURE ...................... 1 Rhetoric .......................................................................................................................................... 10 The Internet as a Digital Thirdspace and a Participatory/Public Sphere ...................................... 13 Kairos ............................................................................................................................................. 17 Invention in Digital Thirdspace ..................................................................................................... 26 Chapter Outline .............................................................................................................................. 30 Conclusion ..................................................................................................................................... 39 CHAPTER TWO: THE INTERSECTIONS OF ASIAN AMERICAN DIGITAL RHETORICS AND THE RHETORICS OF POPULAR CULTURE ..................................................................... 40 Asian American Rhetoric .............................................................................................................. 44 Rhetoric of Popular Culture ........................................................................................................... 51 Digital Rhetorics & Digital Thirdspace, Part I .............................................................................. 58 Digital Rhetorics & Digital Thirdspace, Part II ............................................................................ 63 Asian and Asian American Digital Rhetorics ............................................................................... 74 CHAPTER THREE: ASIAN AMERICAN BREAKTHROUGHS IN SECONDSPACE: THE EMERGENCE OF KOREAN AMERICAN MALE FIGURES IN SECONDSPACE AND THEIR DIGITAL THIRDSPACE AFTERLIVES ........................................................................................ 76 Glenn Rhee’s Fame and Empowerment through Killing Zombies, Getting through Adornian/Horkheimian Gatekeepers, and Showing Up on Digital Thirdspace ........................... 82 The Digital Thirdspace As an Enabler for Reputational Afterlife ................................................ 93 Afterlives for Secondspace Artifacts ........................................................................................... 107 CHAPTER FOUR: KOREAN POPULAR CULTURE AS RHETORIC ..................................... 113 Rhetorical Dimensions of American Popular Music .................................................................. 118 Thirdspace, K-pop, & Participatory Culture ............................................................................... 123 K-pop as Rhetoric ........................................................................................................................ 129 CHAPTER FIVE: KOREAN AMERICAN REALITY SHOW AS AN ASIAN AMERICAN RHETORIC ..................................................................................................................................... 143 Rhetoric of Popular Television .................................................................................................... 146 The Rhetoric and Participatory Culture of K-Town .................................................................... 151 CHAPTER SIX: THE RHETORICAL DIMENSIONS OF ASIAN AMERICAN YOUTUBE CELEBRITIES ................................................................................................................................ 169 Participatory Rhetoric Theory, Agency ...................................................................................... 172 Asian American YouTube Celebrities ........................................................................................ 175 CHAPTER SEVEN: CONCLUSION ............................................................................................. 193 Challenges .................................................................................................................................... 194 Coda ............................................................................................................................................. 206 v APPENDIX A -

A new polling site for the Western Prong precinct is also under consideration. The board is expected to approve the purchase of 42 new voting machines at $245,000. The new machines would be in use by the November General Election. Michelle Mrozkowski of New Bern-based vendor Print- Elect demonstrated the new voting machines Friday for Board of Elections members and the public. The DS200 precinct scanner and tabulator would re- place older machines in use in Columbus County since 2006. When a voter casts his or her ballot, the new machine will be able to detect whether the voter has undervoted (by not voting in all races or by not voting for as many candidates as possible in a race) or overvoted (by voting for too many candidates in a race). The voter will be alerted by the machine and given the choice of either casting the ballot as marked or returning Staff photo by ALLEN TURNER A machete-weilding volunteer makes short work of preparing watermelon samples during Saturday’s N.C.

February 27, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Hanwool Choe All Rights Reserved ii INSTANT MESSAGING IN KOREAN FAMILIES: CREATING FAMILY THROUGH THE INTERPLAY OF PHOTOS, VIDEOS, AND TEXT Hanwool Choe, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Cynthia Gordon, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Extending previous research on family interaction (e.g., Tannen, Kendall, and Gordon 2007; Gordon 2009) and online multimodal discourse (e.g., Gordon forthcoming), I use interactional sociolinguistics to analyze instant messages exchanged among members of Korean families(-in-law). I explore how family talk is formulated and fostered online through technological affordances and multimodalities. Data are drawn from 5 chatrooms of 5 Korean families(-in-law), or 17 adult participants, on KakaoTalk, an instant messaging application popular in South Korea. In their instant messaging, family members accomplish meaning-making through actions and interactions, between online and offline, and with visuals and texts. This analysis employs the notion of "entextualization" (Bauman and Briggs 1990; Jones 2009), or the process of extracting and relocating (a part of) discourse, actions, materials, and media into a new context. I suggest that this meaning-making process

They (whoare they?) teach you to write in arguments, to state your claim, to confine yourself to that eight-page essay — but they don’t tell you how to put yourself on the page. And nobody tells you how difficult, gut-wrenching, and exhausting it will be. That’s exactly what this whole process has been— difficult, gut-wrenching, exhausting beyond belief. No one could anticipate how much this extended process of emotional and theoretical digging would reveal about our identities, how important this catharsis would be, or how friggin’ hard! We want to put our heads down just writing this. But we wrote — and drew, and photoshopped, and edited — these pieces because it is hard, because we know that understanding the media is key not only to understanding society, but to changing it as well.
