Abstract

《超級名模生死鬥》為美國CW電視台自2003年開播的實境節目，以實境節目格式包裝的模特兒選秀節目，在節目當中可以看到模特兒的實際工作情況，以及時尚工業的運作。由知名超模泰拉班克斯為首，邀請時尚產業各領域工作者，包含攝影師、時尚總編、公關人員，為節目塑造專業度及可看性，首創時尚類實境節目之濫觴，不僅在美國大受歡迎，連播至今邁入第二十季，整整十年，節目版權販賣至全球各地，引燃一波超模選秀的全球現象。2005年由Channel [V]頻道引進台灣播送後，同樣引起台灣觀眾的廣大迴響。

在台灣脈絡下，不少迷群起而傚仿，其中《TNTB》以及《某種名模生死鬥》由台南藝術大學和世新大學的學生製作，從2008年開始持續數年，前者四季、後者共五季的節目內容，由同志帶領的迷群文本，展現的是迷群對於時尚的熱情、態度以及對原節目的喜愛，並透過網路討論、分享，進而累積屬於自己的迷群。

本研究經由分析《超級名模生死鬥》及迷群文本後發現，該節目彌補台灣時尚產業處於文化進口國的落後位置，提供台灣情境下缺乏的多元審美觀點及前衛美感，讓台灣觀眾認識模特兒工作的專業度，肯定其美學勞動之價值。節目中對於女性身體、性傾向及性╱別氣質的討論，促使台灣同志迷群得以肯定自我之同志身份，勇於出櫃，經由迷群文本的產製來展現自己的同志感性，操演出跳脫兩性框架的性別氣質；女性迷群則能跳脫台灣主流的審美框架，找尋出屬於自己的美麗、自信，成為迷群次文化中的超模冠軍。
