ABSTRACT

This essay contrasts components of the reception of Joker: the media panic which accompanied its release, the muted reception following its theatrical and home-viewing releases, and its anxious reception contexts. These processes showcase how Joker’s reception became ‘normalized’, neutered and made to fit into categories of mediated debate dictated by standards of public discourse from which many potential participants felt shut out – or, not unlike Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) in the film, relegated to ‘Late Late Show’ fall guy appearances.

困境中的王牌：在接受Joker采访时，媒体恐慌，声音柔和和消费焦虑

摘要

本文与Joker的接待内容进行了对比：伴随着Joker的发行引起的媒体恐慌，在其戏剧和家庭观看发行后的无声接待以及其焦虑的接待环境。这些过程展示了Joker的接待是如何“规范化”，绝育的，并使其适应由公共话语标准决定的调解辩论类别，许多潜在的参与者都被拒之门外–或与Arthur Fleck（Joaquin Phoenix）一样。电影，降级为“ Late Late Show”秋季男装出场。
