  • 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.

    EUROSPORTS HÖJDPUNKTER NOVEMBER 2014 VINTERSPORT Nu sparkar vi igång på snö och isar Vintersportsäsongen tjuvstartade visserligen redan i september med Champions Hockey League (i november är vi framme vid åttondelsfinaler) och ökade på i oktober med konståkningens Grand Prix och alpina världscupen - men nu är det allvar. Eurosport rullar ut den vita mattan och bjuder på det bästa från längdspår, pister och isar. Sammanlagt blir det över 800 timmar direktsänd vinteridrott säsongen 2014/2015 (över 2 000 med eftersändningar, magasin och repriser). Norden står som vanligt starkt i inledningen av säsongen, med världscuppremiärer i både Finland och Sverige. Längre fram i vinter väntar en rad EM, VM, världscuper och andra tävlingsserier på att ta plats i Eurosports kanaler. Vintersporten ses naturligtvis i allra bästa bildkvalitet på Eurosport HD och Eurosport 2 HD. Världscupen i skidskytte kör igång sin säsong i Östersund på månadens sista dag och Eurosport är förstås på plats och direktsänder. Förra året vanns damernas totala världscup av Kaisa Mäkäräinen före norskan Tora Berger och OS-mästarinnan Darya Domracheva från Vitryssland. Fransmannen Martin Fourcade vann för tredje året i rad världscupen på herrsidan. Tvåa (för fjärde året i rad) blev norrmannen Emil Hegle Svendsen och trea Dominik Landertinger från Österrike. Alpina världscupen inledde säsongen i österrikiska Sölden redan i oktober och fortsätter nu med tävlingar i först finska Levi och sedan Aspen och Lake Louise på andra sidan Atlanten. Förra året blev Marcel Hirscher från Österrike den förste herråkaren att ta hem totaltiteln tre år i rad sedan Phil Mahre från USA vann 1981-1983. På damsidan tog Anna Fenninger från Österrike hem totalcupen.
