摘要

随着时间的推移,同性关系在全世界引发了激烈的争论。对尼日利亚背景下同性性行为的研究集中在诺莱坞电影中的表现,以及其他围绕伦理、文化和宗教的争论,而很少关注尼日利亚媒体如何陷害同性恋者。因此,本研究探讨了尼日利亚选定报纸新闻报道中同性恋者的代理和过程,以揭示这个社会群体是如何在尼日利亚背景下被随意构建的。本研究借鉴了费尔克劳夫的批判性话语分析方法和哈利迪的系统功能语言学,考虑了三年内(2013-2015年,是尼日利亚反同性恋法案合法化的激烈辩论时期)三家流行的尼日利亚报纸(《先锋报》、《尼日利亚论坛报》和《The Punch》)。结果显示,同性恋者被负面评价为“谋杀”和其他暴力行为等负面物质过程的参与者,以及“逮捕”和“还押”行动的目标,在意识形态上将他们描绘成罪犯和危险人物。这项研究深入了解了尼日利亚媒体在同性关系等重要社会/国家问题上的偏见姿态。

The discursive construction of gay people in news reports of selected Nigerian newspapers
Same-sex relationships have, over time, stirred serious debates worldwide. Studies on same-sex sexualities in the Nigerian context have focused on its representation in Nollywood movies and other arguments centred on ethics, culture and religion, with little attention paid to how queer people are framed by the Nigerian media. This study, therefore, explores agency and processes in the representation of gay people in news reports of selected Nigerian newspapers, in order to unearth how this social group is discursively constructed in the Nigerian context. Drawing on insights from Fairclough’s approach to critical discourse analysis and Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, this study considers three popular Nigerian newspapers (Vanguard, Nigerian Tribune and The Punch) within three years (2013–2015, being the period of intense debate on the legalisation of the anti-gay bill in Nigeria). Results reveal that gay people are negatively evaluated as actors of negative material processes such as ‘murder’ and other violent actions, and goals of the actions of ‘arrests’ and ‘remands’, ideologically portraying them as criminals and dangerous. The study provides insight into the biased posturing of the Nigerian media on important social/national issues such as same-sex relationships.
