Guided by Discourse and Ideology theory, this paper focuses on how authors of the YouTube comments on Chimamanda Adichie’s talk ‘We should all be feminists’ use pejoratives or insults to reinforce or challenge certain gender ideologies and practices. Since feminism is already a thorny issue, Chimamanda’s call for all to be feminists is seen as controversial and, thus, a recipe for inflammatory language use. Under the protection of social media anonymity, some participants therefore attack her, gender groups (or characteristics) or individuals who oppose their views. Emerging themes include perceiving feminism as toxic and women’s success as a potential threat to male ego, among others. The paper concludes that reducing the discussion of such important social issues to insults does not only reify the dichotomy between men and women, which feminism seeks to bridge, but it also waters down the value and relevance of the socio-cultural issues being discussed.

在话语和意识形态理论的指导下,本文重点关注YouTube上对奇玛曼达·阿迪奇的演讲“我们都应该是女权主义者”的评论作者如何使用贬义或侮辱来强化或挑战某些性别意识形态和实践。由于女权主义已经是一个棘手的问题,奇玛曼达呼吁所有人都成为女权主义者被视为有争议的,因此,这是煽动性语言使用的处方。在社交媒体匿名的保护下,一些参与者因此攻击她、性别群体(或特征)或反对他们观点的个人。新兴的主题包括将女权主义视为有毒的,将女性的成功视为对男性自我的潜在威胁等。该论文的结论是,将对这些重要社会问题的讨论简化为侮辱,不仅具体化了女权主义试图弥合的男性和女性之间的二分法,而且还淡化了正在讨论的社会文化问题的价值和相关性。

“I know it's sensitive”: Internet censorship, recoding, and the sensitive word culture in China “我知道它很敏感”:网络审查、重新编码和中国的敏感词文化

This article conceptualizes the Sensitive Word Culture as a new theoretical lens for understanding how Chinese netizens interact with Internet censorship systems. Through the use of 22 in-depth interviews of Chinese Weibo users and netnography as empirical material, eight types of word recoding practices are identified and mapped into two discourse strategies, namely “evading detection” and “expanding interpretability.” Drawing on the concepts of everyday resistance and everyday politics, we analyze the power relations behind these discourse strategies, and also identify the apolitical aspects and scope of the Sensitive Word Culture. One notable finding is that the Sensitive Word Culture is becoming a part of China's digital cultural production, influencing the development of slang and memes. This research offers insights into how censorship from artificial intelligence and human intelligence influences the online discourses on Chinese social media.

本文将敏感词文化概念化,作为理解中国网民如何与网络审查制度互动的一个新的理论视角。通过对中国微博用户的22次深度访谈和网络图作为实证材料,识别出八种类型的单词记录做法,并将其映射为两种话语策略,即“逃避检测”和“扩大可解释性”,我们分析了这些话语策略背后的权力关系,并确定了敏感词文化的非政治方面和范围。一个值得注意的发现是,敏感词文化正在成为中国数字文化生产的一部分,影响着俚语和模因的发展。这项研究深入了解了人工智能和人工智能的审查制度如何影响中国社交媒体上的网络话语。

Othering as mediated soft-power practice: Chinese diplomatic communication of discourse about China-US trade war through the British press 另一种作为中介的软实力实践——从英国媒体看中美贸易战话语的中国外交传播

This paper examines how Chinese Ambassador to the UK has employed Othering offensive to construct China-US trade war when publishing opinion pieces in the British press to promote China’s image and seek partenership. It draws on Discourse-Historical Approach to Critical Discourse Studies. The analysis demonstrates how the Ambassador has used strategies, such as nomination, predication and argumentation, to construct the US as a negative Other to delegitimize its trade policies and actions. Meanwhile, Othering serves as a foil for indirectly constructing a positive Chinese Self as a responsible major country and a positive ‘We-group’ between China and the US European allies. It sheds some light on understanding the workings of Chinese diplomatic discourse in legitimating China’s worldview on ‘rules-based international order’. It also contributes to understanding the interplay between the media logic of British/Western press and the soft-power efforts of Chinese/non-Western government. The role of British/Western press in Chinese/counterhegemonic diplomats’ mediated soft-power practice is both enabling and constraining.

本文考察了中国驻英国大使在英国报刊发表评论文章,宣传中国形象,寻求合作时,如何运用其他攻势构建中美贸易战。它借鉴了批评语篇研究的语篇历史方法。该分析表明,大使如何利用提名、预测和论证等策略,将美国塑造成一个消极的他者,从而使其贸易政策和行动失去合法性。同时,“他者”也间接地为中国作为一个负责任的大国和中国与美欧盟友之间积极的“我们集团”构建了一个积极的中国自我。它为理解中国外交话语在“基于规则的国际秩序”上的世界观合法化提供了一些启示。它也有助于理解英国/西方媒体的媒体逻辑与中国/非西方政府的软实力努力之间的相互作用。英国/西方媒体在中国/反霸权外交官斡旋的软实力实践中的作用既是有利的,也是制约的。

A dialectical-relational approach to anti-trans sentiments on Hupu 虎扑反跨性别情绪的辩证关系研究

As the first edition of the Olympics including transgender sportswomen, Tokyo 2020 brought trans-rights debates to the forefront of global sports spectatorship during the summer of 2021. In this article, we adopt a dialectical-relational approach to address how anti-trans sentiments unfold in male Chinese sports fans’ social-mediated communication. Based on textual analysis of posts retrieved from Hupu, the research reveals that anti-trans sentiments are largely informed by an essentialist notion of sex, which considers it to be a purely biological construct that is paramount in policymaking, being perpetuated in the process of China’s modernisation. Anti-trans discourses manifest in the sampled postings tend to converge with China’s official nationalist rhetoric, projecting critical voices against liberal-progressive values and Western-style democracy. The research findings shed new light on the dialectical relations between nationalist politics and anti-trans sentiments and, by extension, queerphobic views in China’s sports fandom, pointing towards the heteronormative monopoly of public discourses in sport and beyond.

作为第一次有跨性别女运动员参加的奥运会,2020年东京奥运会在2021年夏天将跨性别辩论推向了全球体育观众的最前沿。在本文中,我们采用辩证关系的方法来探讨中国男性体育迷在社会媒介传播中的反跨性别情绪是如何展开的。基于对从虎扑检索到的帖子的文本分析,该研究表明,反跨性别情绪在很大程度上是由一种本质主义的性别概念所影响的,这种性别概念认为它是一种纯粹的生物结构,在政策制定中至关重要,在中国现代化进程中得以延续。在抽样的帖子中,反跨性别的话语往往与中国官方的民族主义言论汇合,对自由进步价值观和西方式民主发出批评的声音。研究结果揭示了民族主义政治与反跨性别情绪之间的辩证关系,进而揭示了中国体育界的同性恋恐惧症观点,指出了体育及其他领域公共话语的异性恋规范垄断。

TikTok and the translingual practices of Filipino domestic workers in Hong Kong TikTok和香港菲律宾家庭佣工的翻译实践

Recognizing the immense popularity of TikTok among the over 200,000 Filipino domestic workers in Hong Kong, this paper examines the translingual practices of these migrants from the Global South on a social media platform known for its act out memes, dance and lip-synch videos. Drawing on data from interviews and the multimodal discourse analysis of TikTok profiles, videos and captions, it pays particular attention to how recognizing these practices not as exotic or creative transgressions but as ordinary or normative (Agha, 2007) can enable a critical understanding of the lived experiences of these transnationals. Findings show that as they move across social media platforms and make linguistic and semiotic choices involving practical and material considerations, they perform moments of interaction or “small things” (Blommaert, 2019) online that are not unlike their mundane, offline counterparts. Moving across languages online is a way for users to negotiate multiple identities, position others, address diverse audiences, and signal group affiliations. By examining translingual interactions on social media as normative but negotiated across different orders of indexicality, this paper asserts that such reframing can draw attention to historical and material inequalities and modes of exclusion online.

认识到TikTok在香港20多万菲律宾家庭佣工中非常受欢迎,本文研究了这些来自全球南方的移民在一个以表演表情包、舞蹈和假唱视频而闻名的社交媒体平台上的翻译实践。利用采访数据和对TikTok个人资料、视频和字幕的多模态话语分析,它特别关注如何认识到这些做法不是外来的或创造性的越轨行为,而是普通的或规范的(Agha, 2007),从而能够批判性地理解这些跨国公司的生活经历。研究结果表明,当他们在社交媒体平台上移动并做出涉及实际和物质考虑的语言和符号学选择时,他们会在网上进行互动或“小事”(Blommaert, 2019),这与他们平凡的线下同行没有什么不同。在线跨语言移动是用户协商多重身份、定位他人、向不同受众发表讲话和表明群体隶属关系的一种方式。通过将社交媒体上的翻译互动视为规范,但在不同的索引性顺序上进行协商,本文断言,这种重构可以引起人们对历史和物质不平等以及在线排斥模式的关注。

‘Go home to the second wave!’: Discourses of trans inclusion and exclusion in a queer women’s online community “回到第二波浪潮中去吧!”:一个酷儿女性网络社区对跨性别者包容与排斥的讨论

As the visibility of trans movements has increased in recent years, so too has the antagonism between trans rights supporters and some sections of the feminist and lesbian communities (Phipps, 2016; Hines, 2017, Pearce et al., 2020). This antagonism is especially pronounced in digital spaces, where online discussions have fuelled an increasing polarisation of the debate (Hines, 2017). This paper examines the representation of trans identities on Autostraddle: a popular entertainment, news and lifestyle website for lesbian and bisexual women. It focuses on the longest and most controversial comment thread in the 2-million-word Queer Women’s Advice Corpus. The thread is a response to a guide to dating trans women for cis women. Using a combination of critical discourse analysis, sociocultural linguistics and corpus linguistics, I unpack the argumentation strategies (Fairclough and Fairclough, 2012) that commenters use to construct stances on the inclusion of trans women in the queer women’s online space. The major strategies include persuasive definitions of lesbian, imaginaries about trans women’s hypothetical bodies and the illegitimation of trans-exclusionary commenters as bad feminists and community outsiders. I find that that trans inclusion is successfully negotiated on a community level, but that trans women are still problematised on an intimate level due to their (imagined) genitalia. Trans women are ‘hyperembodied’ in the data, with the presence or absence of a penis acting as the focal point for inclusion and desirability.

近年来,随着跨性别运动的知名度越来越高,跨性别权利支持者与女权主义和女同性恋社区的某些部分之间的对立也越来越强烈(Phipps, 2016;Hines, 2017, Pearce et al., 2020)。这种对抗在数字空间中尤为明显,在线讨论加剧了辩论的两极分化(Hines, 2017)。本文考察了跨性别身份在auto跨界网站上的表现:一个为女同性恋和双性恋女性提供娱乐、新闻和生活方式的流行网站。它关注的是200万字的酷儿女性建议语料库中最长、最具争议的评论。这条帖子是对一篇针对顺性女性的跨性别女性约会指南的回应。结合批判性话语分析、社会文化语言学和语料库语言学,我揭示了评论者用来构建跨性别女性在酷儿女性网络空间中被包容的立场的论证策略(Fairclough和Fairclough, 2012)。主要的策略包括对女同性恋的有说服力的定义,对跨性别女性假想的身体的想象,以及将排斥跨性别的评论者视为糟糕的女权主义者和社区局外人的非法化。我发现,在社区层面上,变性人的包容是成功的,但在亲密层面上,变性女性仍然因为(想象中的)生殖器而受到质疑。跨性别女性在数据中是“高度具体化的”,阴茎的存在与否是被包容和受欢迎的焦点。

Mask communication: The development of the face covering as a semiotic resource through government public health posters in England and Wales 面罩传播:英格兰和威尔士政府公共卫生海报中面罩作为一种符号资源的发展

This paper will explore the multi-modal semiotic properties of a selection of key public health information posters issued by the UK Westminster government on the use of masks and face coverings during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using multi-modal critical discourse analysis, we show how the posters featuring masks sustained consistent government-led branding, while drawing upon what we describe as “synthetic personalisation” to manage the orientation of the crisis as the pandemic progressed. Through this analysis, the article will highlight the possible contribution of these posters to an environment characterised by political confusion and enabling of a relatively widespread rejection of mask-wearing as a public health responsibility. Examining this within a broader decline in trust in government, we suggest the various attempts to produce a positive message about mask-wearing contributed instead to the appropriation of masks as symbols of individual alignment within a contested political field.

本文将探讨英国威斯敏斯特政府发布的一系列关键公共卫生信息海报的多模态符号学特性,这些海报是关于在COVID-19大流行的第一年使用口罩和面罩的。使用多模态批判性话语分析,我们展示了以口罩为主题的海报如何保持一致的政府主导品牌,同时利用我们称之为“综合个性化”的方法,在疫情发展过程中管理危机的方向。通过这一分析,本文将强调这些海报可能对政治混乱的环境做出的贡献,并使人们相对广泛地拒绝将戴口罩作为公共卫生责任。在更广泛的政府信任度下降的背景下研究这一点,我们认为,各种试图产生关于戴口罩的积极信息的尝试反而导致了在有争议的政治领域中,口罩被用作个人联盟的象征。

Social media have facilitated the development of a new wanghong profession and the burgeoning social commerce in China, where young women capitalize on their femininity to promote beauty products. Against this background, this study aims to investigate how Chinese wanghong women craft their identities in their self-branding videos on the leading social commerce platform of TikTok. A framework is developed to model their projected identities as evaluative attributes and to elucidate how the identities are constructed using verbal and visual resources. A multimodal content analysis of a corpus of 1258 videos posted by 6 top-ranked wanghong women on TikTok shows that their identities are defined in terms of three marketable attributes: (1) the celebrity self, in which they highlight their glamorous appearance, aspirational lifestyle, and social responsibility, (2) the entrepreneur self, which includes their accentuation of their professionalism and self-empowerment, and (3) the ordinary woman self, in which they emphasize their intimate relationship with their consumer-audience on the one hand, and construct a cheerful and amiable self-image on the other. The multi-faceted identities shed new light on the evolving Chinese femininity shaped by the entangled forces of the development of the neoliberal social commerce and wanghong economy in China on the one hand, and the unique socio-political context on the other hand.

社交媒体促进了一种新的网红职业的发展和中国蓬勃发展的社交商务,年轻女性利用她们的女性气质来推广美容产品。在此背景下,本研究旨在调查中国网红女性如何在领先的社交商务平台TikTok上制作自我品牌视频。开发了一个框架来模拟他们的预测身份作为评估属性,并阐明如何使用语言和视觉资源构建身份。对TikTok上排名靠前的6位网红女性发布的1258个视频语料库进行多模态内容分析后发现,她们的身份被定义为三个可营销的属性:(1)明星自我,她们突出自己迷人的外表、理想的生活方式和社会责任;(2)企业家自我,她们强调自己的专业精神和自我赋权;(3)普通女性自我,她们一方面强调与消费者-受众的亲密关系,另一方面构建一个开朗可亲的自我形象。这种多重身份,一方面为新自由主义社会商业和王红经济在中国的发展以及独特的社会政治背景的纠缠力量所塑造的中国女性气质的演变提供了新的视角。

Following della Porta and Pavan (2017), progressive social movements act as laboratories of innovation and knowledge creation in their pursuit to reform or resist societal structures. Simultaneously, movements are increasingly dependent upon digital tools and platforms, including social media, in their effort to organize, diffuse and saturate their agendas. Through an analysis of Rethinking Economics’ internet memes from 2019, the article investigates how internet memes contribute to a construction of the movement’s collective self. Memes characterize a relatively new form of online culture that offers affordable venues of expression, engagement and participation especially apt for bottom-up initiatives with limited funds. My focus is on the internet memes’ potential for deliberation and knowledge exchange; essentially their potential as supplementary knowledge practice. The article analyzes the narratives and legitimation strategies embedded in Rethinking Economics’ internet memes by using Van Leeuwen’s (2007) framework. The study suggests that internet memes’ distilled communicative qualities qualify them as informal venues for confrontation and learning, in which local movement identification and positionality are both developed, sustained and evaluated.

继della Porta和Pavan(2017)之后,进步社会运动在追求改革或抵制社会结构的过程中充当了创新和知识创造的实验室。与此同时,运动越来越依赖于数字工具和平台,包括社交媒体,以组织、传播和渗透其议程。本文通过对2019年《反思经济学》网络模因的分析,探讨了网络模因如何促进运动集体自我的建构。模因是一种相对较新的网络文化形式,它提供了负担得起的表达、参与和参与场所,尤其适合资金有限的自下而上的倡议。我的重点是网络模因在思考和知识交流方面的潜力;本质上,它们作为补充知识实践的潜力。本文运用Van Leeuwen(2007)的框架分析了《反思经济学》网络模因的叙事和合法化策略。研究表明,网络模因提炼出来的交流品质使其成为对抗和学习的非正式场所,在这种场所中,局部运动识别和位置性都得到了发展、维持和评估。
