Alternative interview formats can telegraph more nuanced power dynamics. On The View, for instance, the hosts sit grouped around the same table, with the guest at the center, signaling a more egalitarian (and feminine) atmosphere. On Politically Incorrect, host Bill Maher sat between rival guests—a setup that emphasized his role as moderator and the importance of argument among ideological opposites.
其他采訪形式彰顯了更細(xì)微的權(quán)利機(jī)制。電視節(jié)目《觀點(diǎn)》中,主持人都圍坐在一張桌子邊,嘉賓坐中間,營造了一種平等而稍有陰柔的氣氛。《不識時(shí)務(wù)》節(jié)目中,主持人Bill Maher坐在對立的嘉賓之間,表明自己作為調(diào)和者的身份,也強(qiáng)調(diào)了意識形態(tài)爭論的重要性。
