  • Discursive Practice in Hawai'i Creole
    Pragmatics 17:3.371-385 (2007) International Pragmatics Association “NO FLIPS IN THE POOL”: DISCURSIVE PRACTICE IN HAWAI‘I 1 CREOLE Toshiaki Furukawa Abstract Linguistic hybridity is the process of the authorial unmasking of another’s speech, through a language that is double-accented and double-styled. The present study investigates how linguistic resources, especially code-switching is used for meaning making in local comedy shows in Hawai‘i. Local comedy is inseparable from the use of carnivalistic act. This act deconstructs attempts at stabilizing social systems by being playfully and non-violently subversive. While there are many studies of language and humor, there are much fewer studies on the use of code-switching in comedy. The present study is particularly interested in the latter and specifically addresses Bakhtin’s work on carnival. It is often maintained that ethnic jokes marginalize those of Filipino origin as the Other. However, the present paper claims that both functions of comedy - marginalizing of the Other and disrupting of official views of reality - are inseparably intertwined. Andy Bumatai, a local comic, tactically achieves carnivalistic effects while negotiating and juggling his subjectivity. Given this, code-switching as well as language selection can be a powerful tool for doublevoicing. Little is known about the pragmatics of pidgin and creole languages. Hence, the present study provides a starting point for future projects on the discursive practice in Hawai‘i Creole. Keywords : Hybridity; Carnivalistic act; Ethnic humor; Code-switching; Doublevoicing; Hawai‘i Creole. 1. Introduction Hybridity is defined in various ways. For instance, it is defined as invention and intervention that require a sense of newness (Bhabha 1997: 31).

  • Girls That Wear Abercrombie & Fitch
    Studies in Communication Sciences 18.2 (2018), pp. 325–337 Girls that wear Abercrombie & Fitch: Reading fashion branding aesthetics into music videos Myles Ethan Lascity, Southern Methodist University [email protected] Abstract Teen clothier Abercrombie & Fitch’s mix of shirtless associates, nightclub-like stores and risqué photogra- phy by Bruce Weber helped propel the brand into icon status. The brand’s name entered the popular lexicon as a synonym for cool and even received a memorable call out in LFO’s pop song, “Summer Girls.” This paper explores the interplay in aesthetics between A &F Quarterly, the brand’s popular magazine-catalog hybrid, and popular music videos of the time. Specifically, this paper analyzes videos that appeared on MTV’s Total Request Live between September 1999 and April 2001. In total, 42 music videos were found to contain elements of the “Abercrombie” lifestyle, including clothing that was sold by the brand, and props and settings similar to those found in the A & F Quarterly. In sum, this suggests that music videos from the time were instrumental in spreading the brand’s aesthetic, and that the interplay between media popular culture and the aesthetics of fashion brands could yield productive future research. Keywords fashion branding, fashion communication, music videos, mediated popular culture 1 Introduction that once outfitted the likes of Teddy Roo- sevelt and Ernest Hemingway had turned Music videos have been a staple of pop- its attention to teens in 1992 and never ular culture since the launch of MTV in looked back.
