本文追溯了第二次世界大战后美国占领军将智力竞赛节目引入日本广播的过程。1946年末至1950年代初，占领军的广播人员指导日本广播垄断机构NHK播放了几个美国问答节目的复制品。这些复制品在这个饱受战争蹂躏的国家引发了一场智力竞赛热潮。通过将智力竞赛节目作为一种深深嵌入美国式资本主义民主的文化形式，作者认为，早期的广播智力竞赛节目提供了一个缩影，在这个缩影中，日本听众象征性地实践了占领者所偏爱的特定民主形式的一些规范性参与原则。智力竞赛节目的大众化虽然是一个复杂的、有时是不稳定的过程，但它引导和反映了社会组织原则和主体性规范形式的更大的历史变革，而这一变革受到冷战崛起中美国霸权的强烈制约。
This article traces the introduction of the quiz show into Japanese broadcasting, led by the US occupation forces in the aftermath of World War II. Between late 1946 and the early 1950s, the occupation’s radio personnel guided the Japanese broadcasting monopoly NHK to air several replicas of American quiz programs. These replicas provoked a quiz craze in the war-devastated nation. By positing the quiz show as a cultural form deeply embedded in American-style capitalist democracy, the author argues that early radio quiz shows provided a microcosm in which Japanese listeners symbolically practiced some of the normative participatory principles of the particular form of democracy preferred by the occupation. The popularization of the quiz show, even though a complex and at times uneasy process, channeled and reflected the larger historical transformation in the organizing principles of society and the normative form of subjectivity, which was strongly conditioned by the US hegemony in the rising Cold War.
