The author contributes new insights into everyday literacies in participatory cultures using a multimodal analysis of three LGBTQ+ reaction videos on YouTube. LGBTQ+ reaction videos respond, often comedically, to oppressive media forms and technologies. In the analysis, the author considers how reaction video makers draw on seven meaning-making modes and multimodal techniques in digital composition to enact practices of critical media literacy, namely, to identify, interrogate, and disrupt dominant ideologies that undergird media forms and technologies. Through analytic video logging and multimodal analysis of video episodes, the author also examines the role of humor in enactments of these practices. The article forwards the conceptual framework of humor as political possibility made manifest in the range of ways that video makers construct slips of humor, compose multimodal parodies, and create satires that critique dominant ideologies and imagine new ways of being in the world. Examining literate activities in participatory cultures with a focus on LGBTQ+ identities has purchase to explicate possibilities to name, challenge, and transform dominant ideologies toward more just futures.

作为政治可能性的幽默：LGBTQ+参与文化中的批判性媒体素养

作者通过对 YouTube 上三个 LGBTQ+ 反应视频的多模态分析，为参与式文化中的日常读写提供了新的见解。LGBTQ+ 反应视频通常以喜剧方式回应压迫性媒体形式和技术。在分析中，作者考虑了反应视频制作者如何利用数字组合中的七种意义制造模式和多模态技术来制定批判性媒体素养的实践，即识别、质疑和破坏支撑媒体形式和技术的主导意识形态。通过分析视频记录和视频片段的多模态分析，作者还研究了幽默在这些实践中的作用。这篇文章将幽默的概念框架作为政治可能性，在视频制作者构建幽默片段、创作多模态模仿和创作讽刺主流意识形态和想象世界上新的存在方式的各种方式中体现出来。以 LGBTQ+ 身份为重点检查参与式文化中的识字活动，可以解释命名、挑战和将主导意识形态转变为更公正的未来的可能性。
