摘要
本文通过豪萨族谚语来考察豪萨族的性别关系。本文运用社会符号学框架(Hodge and Kress, 1988;Kress, 2010;Van Leeuwen, 2005),从100个豪萨谚语中抽取了一些与性别相关的谚语进行分析。这些谚语对豪萨人社会文化心理的影响仅次于宗教禁令。研究结果表明,99%的与性别相关的谚语对这些关系,尤其是婚姻关系产生了负面影响。谚语中的消极组合是通过在消极意象和隐喻中构建两性而形成的。这一结果也反映了豪萨社会中性别关系的现实情况和尼日利亚北部的社会政治倾向,特别是关于妇女的情况。
A Socio-Semiotic Analysis of Gender Relations in Hausa Proverbs
This paper investigates gender-relations among the Hausa via their proverbs. Using a socio-semiotic framework (Hodge and Kress, 1988;Kress, 2010;Van Leeuwen, 2005), the paper analyses some gender-related Hausa proverbs, sampled from 100 proverbs. The influence of those proverbs in the sociocultural psyche of the Hausa is second only to religious injunctions. The findings show that 99% of the gender-related proverbs project negative affordances on those relations, especially in matrimony. The negative ensembles in the proverbs are made by framing either sex in negative imaging and metaphors. This result also reflects the reality of genderrelations among the Hausa society and the socio-political orientation in northern Nigeria, especially regarding women.
