英文摘要 |
Japanese comic books (manga), a popular media connected with culture, has been very attractive to Taiwanese teenagers. However, violent representations in manga were often perceived as an issue and therefore criticized. To understand the manga media, this study applied textual analysis from the perspectives of aesthetic and critical theory. Analysis revealed a particular way in Japanese comic books to present aesthetics of violence by arranging pictures, texts, and plots to present vitality, power discourse and positive values accepted by teenagers. By means of “fantasized death,” manga created a different image from violence in the real world. From the findings of this study, a teaching model based on critical media literacy education was proposed. Students could gain critical consciousness and moral feelings by actively reading and thinking. |
