“…Hence, we hypothesize that: H2: Role projection positively impacts behavioral intention to use TikTok. Glynos (2021) defines fantasy as a conception that consists of feelings, myths, metaphors and illuminating insights. Fantasy holds a significant importance in tourism, especially promoting through video logs (Fakfare et al, 2020) and video games (Abbasi et al, 2021a).…”

PurposeTikTok social media app has become one of the most popular forms of leisure and entertainment activities, but how hedonic consumption experiences (comprising fantasy, escapism, enjoyment, role projection, sensory, arousal and emotional involvement) of the TikTok app determine users' intention to use the app and its resulting impact on the actual usage behavior remains limited in the information systems literature, especially featuring the hedonic consumption perspective in entertainment industry.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs uses & gratification theory to answer the “why” via predicting the role of hedonic consumption experiences that serve as gratifications to trigger technology acceptance behavior (especially, in form of users' behavioral intention to use the TikTok app and its further impact on usage behavior). This study utilizes the partial least squares-structural equation modeling approach to perform data analyses on 258 TikTok app users.FindingsOur results provide a strong support such that users' playful consumption experiences (i.e. escapism, role projection, arousal, sensory experience and enjoyment) positively influence their intention to use the TikTok app and its resultant effect on users' actual usage of the app. In contrast, fantasy and emotional involvement fail to influence users' intention to use the TikTok app.Originality/valueTo the best of our knowledge, our investigation is one of the first studies to apply the hedonic consumption experiences as potential gratifications that derive users' intention and its subsequent influence on the actual usage of the TikTok app. Our study results would assist marketing and brand managers to redefine approaches and tactics to create effective strategies that implement essential determinants to increase behavioral intention among entertainment service providers.

“…Alianza País' transgression of its ideal (that is, that no leader is indispensable within the Ecuadorian Citizens' Revolution) bolstered the identification among its partisans inside the National Assembly. Alianza País' transgression of its original ideal on presidential re-elections strengthened its unity, a non-rational phenomenon highlighted by Glynos (2021).…”

President Rafael Correa (2007–17) was the leader of the Ecuadorian Citizens’ Revolution advanced by his movement Alianza País. Although a former critic of indefinite presidential re-elections, in 2014 Correa asked his bloc of parliamentarians to abolish presidential term limits. His request was approved and the constitution was amended. How can we account for Alianza País’ sudden decision to abolish presidential term limits, considering it had ratified these limits as recently as 2008? This article conducts a discourse analysis of the argument in favour of indefinite presidential re-elections in Ecuador. Courtesy of Lacanian psychoanalysis, in this article I argue that the Citizens’ Revolution’s shift can be fruitfully explained if we consider how the transgressive logic of enjoyment operates in ideology.

“…What we would like to draw attention to here, however, is the aspect of materiality associated with the limits of discourse (Laclau and Mouffe 1987), which Laclau has sought to capture by a range of terms, such as dislocation, heterogeneity, and temporality. It is precisely at the limits of discourse that we can locate the role fantasy and enjoyment can play in DT, since these limits -often linked to the idea of radical contingency -cannot but leave a mark on the subject, through anxiety or other forms of affective investment (see Glynos 2021, in this special issue). A key accomplishment of the appeal to the psychoanalytical category of fantasy in DT has been to further elucidate the operation of ideology, understood here as concealing the radical contingency of social relations.…”

“…A focus on fantasmatic identification can play a productive role in DT. However, important theoretical, critical, substantive, and methodological issues remain (see also Glynos 2021;Mert and Behagel 2021, in this special issue). One issue to flesh out more is the way fantasies work at different analytical levels and the resonances between those levels.…”

This article assesses the current state of play of the poststructuralist and post-Marxist discourse theory associated with Laclau and Mouffe and the ‘Essex school’, and identifies ways forward at the level of theory development, research practice and critique. The article starts by disentangling the different meanings of the notion of ‘discourse’ in ‘discourse theory’, clarifying the specificities of discourse theory as a theoretical and analytical framework and situating discourse theory in, but also beyond, critical discourse studies. It then moves to an assessment of the current state of discourse theory, its main contributions, and the identification of shortcomings and ways forward. This discussion is organized around five topics: methodology and the theory-analysis dialectic; the logics approach; the discursive-material relation; the role of fantasy and other psychoanalytical categories; and populism.
