Abstract

This paper analyses menarche episodes from TV series using the discourse-historical approach to compare how menarche has been depicted on TV during different decades and takes a closer look into inter-generational experience of menarche. The analysis focuses on membership categorization analysis of the scenes and dialogues involving menarche. After analyzing several decades of menstrual discourse, it is possible to conclude that TV discourse has changed from depicting menarche as a shameful taboo to a powerful visual storyline statement. However, the menarche scenarios did not change dramatically and continue to rely heavily on a mother-daughter bonding plot and highlight childbearing as the main and sometimes the only positive aspect of menstruation. The continuous use of menstruational euphemisms is still predominating the TV discourse.

“你现在是个女人了。”
本文运用话语历史的方法对电视剧中的月经初潮情节进行分析,比较不同时期电视对月经初潮的描述,并进一步探讨代际月经初潮的经历。分析的重点是对涉及月经初潮的场景和对话进行成员分类分析。在分析了几十年的月经话语之后,我们可以得出这样的结论:电视话语已经从把月经描述为一个可耻的禁忌转变为一个强有力的视觉故事情节陈述。然而,月经初潮的情节并没有发生巨大的变化,而是继续严重依赖于母女关系的情节,并强调生育是月经的主要方面,有时是唯一的积极方面。持续使用的月经委婉语仍然主导着电视话语。
