  • The Internet Meme As a Rhetoric Discourse: Investigating Asian/Asian Americans’ Identity Negotiation
    THE INTERNET MEME AS A RHETORIC DISCOURSE: INVESTIGATING ASIAN/ASIAN AMERICANS’ IDENTITY NEGOTIATION Zhao Ding A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2015 Committee: Alberto González, Advisor Radhika Gajjala Lisa Hanasono © 2015 Zhao Ding All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Alberto González, Advisor This study draws concepts from rhetorical criticism, vernacular rhetoric, visual rhetoric, and whiteness studies, to investigate how Asian/Asian Americans’ online identities are being constructed and mediated by Internet memes. This study examines the use of Internet memes as persuasive discourses for entertainment, spreading stereotypes, and online activism by examining the meme images and texts, including their content, rhetorical components, and structure. Internet memes that directly depict Asian/Asian Americans are collected from three popular meme websites: Reddit, Know Your Meme, and Tumblr. The findings indicate that Internet memes complicate the construction of racial identity, invoking the negotiation and conflicts concerning racial identities described by dominant as well as vernacular discourses. They not only function as entertaining jokes but also reflect the social conflicts surrounding race. However, the prevalence and development of memes also bring new possibilities for social justice movements. Furthermore, the study provides implications of memes for users and anti-racist activities, as well as suggests future research directions mainly in the context of globalization. iv This thesis is dedicated to my mother (1954-2011) and her unconditional love. She spent her whole life nurturing me, encouraging me, and inspiring me. Without her, I would still be in my comfort zone.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Shot in Shanghai: Sino‐U.S. Media Co‐Production in the Post‐WTO Era A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures by Aynne Elizabeth Kokas 2012 © Copyright by Aynne Elizabeth Kokas 2012 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Shot in Shanghai: Sino‐U.S. Media Co‐Production in the Post‐WTO Era by Aynne Elizabeth Kokas Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Theodore Huters, Co‐Chair Professor John Caldwell, Co‐Chair “Shot in Shanghai” examines Sino-U.S. media co-production to reveal the complex negotiation between transnational commercial interests, state regulation of media, and the reform of the Chinese state-run film industry. By situating the study in the commercial center of Shanghai, the dissertation argues that the transformation of media industries exists as part of a delicate compromise between China’s hexie shehui (harmonious society—a euphemistic explanation for government control of media content) and the forces of global capital. To form a foundation for future scholarship in the fields of media studies and Chinese studies, the dissertation articulates the complexity of film co-production in the ten years between China’s accession to the WTO and the PRC’s 2011 twelfth five year plan. The dissertation introduces three central concepts that are crucial to understanding the growth of media collaboration between China and the U.S. These include the role of ii the urban brand, the importance of latter day compradors (maiban), and the growth of global production ecosystems in the PRC.
