From the 14 th century onward,rationality and humanism became the bedrocks of modern society.However,the overgrown human desires also bring a series of problems.Aiming at criticizing and deconstructing modernism,the postmodernism emerged.In the postmodern context,as the Internet-based new media continuously grows,the authority of conventional media gate-keeper recedes,and the information production and communication are no longer the elites' patents.The massive duplication and spread of culture products are possible,then,art is far less than unfathomable and obscure.Nowadays,mass culture that amuses people to death is the worldwide popularity,and information world is full of vulgar content.The vigorous and recreational kuso videos become an nonnegligible existence on the Internet.Behind the kuso videos is the postmodernism that includes anti-meta narrative,anti-rationality,decentralization and authority rejection.From the perspective of postmodernism,aiming at the E-sports game kuso videos,the thesis specially focuses on the production methods and communication features of Xu Lao Shi Lai Xun Shan.Research findings indicate that in an mass culture-oriented era,the E-sports game kuso videos clearly manifest postmodernism characteristics.By applying collage and parody,this program showing diversity,small narrative and carnivalism is filled with mock and deconstruction of standard text context and society.Meanwhile,the E-sports game kuso videos represented by Xu Lao Shi Lai Xun Shan also reveal profit-oriented logic and vulgarization which ought to catch attention of the supervision department,and the problems of different regulatory standards,complex supervising subjects and incomplete law system still exist.For the healthy and orderly development of the game derivative culture products,a clearer criterion of vulgar content,the rule of law,a more scientific law enforcement and wider public participation are all necessary.
