摘要

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。

Gendered discourses and pejorative language use: An analysis of YouTube comments on We should all be feminists

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.
