摘要

Tradwives and truth warriors：Gender and nationalism in US white nationalist women’s blogs

Catherine Tebaldi，University of Luxembourg

AbstractThe language of white identitarian traditionalist women, or ‘tradwives’, recontextualises white nationalism in the language of sexual politics. It creates images of the enemy other as a ‘societal sodomiser’ and of an idealised woman who represents and defends the threatened family and nation. These homophobic horror stories create deep affective investment in white nationalist nostalgia and subsume women’s individuality to the image of the nation. White womanhood stands in for the national body under threat, allowing these tradwives to portray themselves as idealised whiteness, pseudo-subversive dissidents who reinforce the social order, and mother-protectors of the nation. Yet even the most arch-feminine performance of white womanhood need not be inextricably linked to nationalist imaginaries, enabling the possibility of a truly subversive femininity.

‘We have the best gays, folks’:Homonationalism and Islamophobia in a critical discourse analysis of a pro-Trump social media forum

Chloe Brotherton, University of California, Davis

AbstractIn the wake of the 2016 election of Donald Trump, users on the pro-Trump online forum thedonald.win engaged in violently homophobic and Islamophobic discourses. This study uses a critical discourse analytic approach to investigate how users on this forum contradictorily invoke homosexuality to construct Muslims as sexually deviant while also situating them as homophobic and therefore incompatible with the users’ brand of American nationalism. This is an example of homonationalism, using the United States’ supposed tolerance of homosexuality to uphold American exceptionalism and paint Muslims as anti-gay and thus anti-American. While this form of homonationalism was originally formulated in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, the presidency of Donald Trump has altered the way the homonationalist project is discursively constructed on an interactional level.

Reclaiming presence: Anti-gender nationalism and Marielle Franco’s deictic field of resistance in Brazil

Daniel N. Silva, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina 

Allison Dziuba, University of Alabama

AbstractPolitical actors’ embedding of the here-and-now of enunciation into constructions of gender, sexuality and race is a deictic practice that can be uncoupled from its context and projected into political fields. This article unpacks alternative invocations of the deictic field by Jair Bolsonaro’s new right in Brazil and by Marielle Franco, a queer Black councilwoman who was assassinated in 2018, the same year Bolsonaro was elected president. While Bolsonaro has vilified progressive tropes, such as gender equality, sex positive education and Marielle’s legacy, Marielle and later her mourning movement have mapped her here-and-now onto mottos such as ‘Marielle lives’, which defy chronologic time. Marielle’s central figure has thus been ‘present’ across the political spectrum – for progressives as a figure of immanence, and for white supremacists as a symbol of the Black gendered body whose life is not mournable but whose phantasmatic presence is a continuing threat.

Defending Christianity from the ‘rainbow plague’: Historicised narratives of nationhood in the anti-genderism register in Poland

Dominika Baran, Duke University

AbstractBuilding on previous work on the anti-genderism register and moments of enregisterment, and adopting the Discourse-Historical Approach with its notion of topoi as an argumentation device used by right-wing populists, this article examines how the Catholic Church and right-wing politicians and media have mobilised against the alleged threat of ‘LGBT/gender ideology’ in Poland. Based on the analysis of 70 texts including homilies, political speeches, news articles and interviews, the article identifies three content-related topoi that are relayed across various anti-genderist actors. Together, these topoi and their repeated reuptake help to construct a historicised narrative of Poland as the defender of Christianity and of Europe, and to legitimise different actors’ anti-LGBT campaigns as they pursue their particular agendas. The article makes a contribution to exploring the processes through which the globally circulating anti-genderism register operates in a specific local context.

The gender of language contact: Feminising inter-Indigenous relationships in the Peruvian 'altiplano'

Sandhya Krittika Narayanan, University of Nevada, Reno

Abstract This article considers how language contact is gendered through an analysis of how inter-Indigenous Quechua–Aymara boundary maintenance practices and ideologies are feminised in the Peruvian altiplano. The analysis focuses on the semiotic regimentation of Indigenous ethnolinguistic boundaries, concentrating on the role of four Indigenous female figures: the Indigenous wife; the Indigenous female market vendor; the reimagined mythic Indigenous founding mother; and the Indigenous beauty pageant contestant. An ethnographically grounded, scalar analysis of Quechua–Aymara contact in the region shows how each of the female figures is ideologically linked to a specific aspect of inter-Indigenous language contact and boundary maintenance. Furthermore, the discussion shows the interconnectedness of these female figures and their associated ideologised practices and discourses, which lead to the feminisation of inter-Indigenous language contact in the region.

Inclusive writing: Tracing the transnational history of a French controversy

Julie Abbou, University of Turin

AbstractThis article documents the linguistic, disciplinary, geographical and ideological circulation of the notion of ‘inclusive writing/d’écriture inclusive’ in order to understand the French controversy surrounding the term. The article shows that North American Protestant feminist theologists first spread the expression in the 1970s. The expression then circulated in feminist circles in English and French, in Europe and North America, but also in the fields of disability and pedagogy. Its success in the French space, however, is not only due to its Protestant roots but also to a republican definition of inclusion emerging in France in the 1990s. By the time the controversy shot up, the paradigm of inclusion was thus loaded with its French republican meaning as much as its English and/or North American meaning, creating an ideological paradox that limits inclusive writing’s critical capacity and fails to question relations of domination.

An investigation into the representation of women on ‘intimate wellness’ websites

Alexandra Woodward, University of Brighton

Abstract‘Intimate wellness’ is an offshoot of the wellness industry in which brands promote products to women for the practice of vulval and vaginal self-care. This niche, but growing, consumer category is worthy of feminist research as it is concerned with health, beauty and the contemporary trend of destigmatising female genitalia. This research explores the representation of women in a corpus of intimate wellness websites by examining the agency and associated processes of the participants. It identifies the coexistence of conflicting discourses: essentialist feminism, neoliberal postfeminism and patriarchal tradition. Through new concepts, termed ‘assisted agency’ and ‘assisted processes’, this study illuminates the represented relationship between female consumers and female brand personae. Ultimately, it finds that these websites represent women as (potentially) agentful but not autonomous, constructing the idea that female empowerment is contingent on consumption.

Representations of gender and sexual orientation over three editions of a Japanese language learning textbook series

Maki Yoshida, RMIT University

AbstractThis study analyses a popular commercial textbook series for learning Japanese as a second or foreign language (JSL/JFL) and investigates how its textual and visual representations of gender and sexual orientation have changed over the three editions published over the last 20 years. Examining the interplay of text and images, the longitudinal analysis reveals that heteronormative representations remain dominant across the three editions, while observing some changes in representation over time. For instance, derogatory depictions of LGBTQ+ people have been removed and – albeit limited – representations that give consideration to gender and sexual diversity have been incorporated. Such changing representations indicate how language, gender and sexuality ideologies in Japanese society intersect with the globalised contexts of JSL/JFL, and suggest that stratified ideological values regarding gender and sexuality are enmeshed with the commercial viability of textbook publishers.

Language, gender and sexuality in 2022: Documenting and resisting regressive ideology

Lucy Jones, University of Nottingham

AbstractThis article focuses on research from 2022 that critically analyses the ways in which oppressive discourses continue to circulate, and which examines the role of language in protesting and resisting these discourses. It considers studies that remind us of the feminist and queer principles underpinning the field: to question and critique how hegemonic ideologies of gender and sexuality are reproduced and maintained. The review explores two key areas: research that reveals the continuing problem of mainstream transphobia and studies that consider how feminist discourses of resistance operate linguistically. It concludes with a call for more of this research to be applied to real-world contexts in order to create tangible change. In bringing this work together, the review aims to reaffirm the vital and emancipatory role that language, gender and sexuality scholarship has in both documenting and resisting regressive ideology.

Sôshokukei kara asuparabêkon made! ‘From herbivores to bacon-wrapped asparagus!’: Binary gender taxonomies and neoliberal self-making in modern Japan

Chloe Willis, University of California, Santa Barbara

Abstract Japanese essayist Maki Fukasawa coined the term sôshoku danshi ‘herbivore men’ to refer to men who are not assertive or proactive in engaging with romantic or sexual relationships with women. Since her 2006 article, dozens of related kei ‘types’ have proliferated across the digital landscape, creating a taxonomy of binary-based gender classifications. This article describes the kei system through an analysis of digital texts, first providing the historical context of this discourse, then overviewing its grammar and taxonomic structure. An analysis of heuristic types then reveals how heteronormativity and gender hegemony emerge and limit the subversive potential of this system. Finally, the article discusses how neoliberalism creates the niche occupied by kei and enables its sustained appeal. The article contributes to research on both kei and identity by analysing kei as a system, attending to the ways in which broad social forces shape self-identification.

The social meaning of abortion and the perils of a neoliberal rights-based discourse

Maeve Eberhardt, University of Vermont

Abstract In 2022, the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and thus ended the legal protection of access to abortion at the federal level. Using techniques of corpus linguistics paired with critical discourse analysis, this article examines how the word abortion is used in a corpus of newspaper reports covering the decision. The analysis uncovers a staunch position of the right to abortion as an abstracted notion, alongside a simultaneous legitimation of individuals acting on those rights in order to construct them as worthy. In essence, the news media discursively reproduce a hegemonic order that demands adherence to the system, valorises responsible subjects and obscures structural inequities of gender, race and class in the name of freedom of choice. Echoing the call of Black and Indigenous feminist activists, this article argues for a shift in discourse towards one of reproductive justice.

Love-jihad: The Hindu right’s conspiring Muslim men and innocent Hindu girls

Ila Nagar, The Ohio State University

Abstract Love-jihad is a conspiracy theory created by the Hindu right in India, which claims that Muslim men lure Hindu girls with love, marry them and then force them to convert to Islam. Language is used in legal, procedural and media-mediated ways to frame Muslim men and Hindu women and construct the nation-state. Using work on language and propaganda, as well as critical postcolonial studies, as theoretical frameworks, this article argues that the Hindu right uses language as a weapon to cause harm to Hindu women and Muslim men, and to reinforce Hindu supremacy. A study of language used by political leaders about love-jihad offers a look at the collusion between different dimensions of discrimination. On the one hand, nationalist Hindus discriminate against Muslim men; on the other hand, the same Hindus are weakening Hindu women’s abilities to make decisions about their own lives. The article also shows that the seeds of harm that are sown with propagandist language result in the creation of anti-Muslim legislation, which also harms Hindu women.

English teaching as gendered care work: The case of female bilingual speakers in Korea

Jinsuk Yang, Osaka Metropolitan University

Abstract Drawing on data from ethnographic fieldwork at an English language school for young learners in South Korea, this article examines the relationship between emotional labour and gender in English language teaching (ELT). It takes note of how bilingual speakers’ emotional work was constructed as suitable for women and rendered invisible in their respective working contexts. The findings show that: 1) the job requires the female bilingual teachers to not only teach English but also engage in invisible, gendered childcare; and 2) amid the paradoxical situation in which bilingual teachers are expected to reproduce the ideology of native speakerism to be recognized as proficient English speakers, their anxiety about linguistic and cultural hybridity also deepened. The precarious labour conditions of female bilingual teachers in the school epitomise a broader trend in the contemporary South Korean ELT market, where female bilingual teachers’ emotional labour is naturalised in the name of caring.

Where the personal is political: Intersections of sexuality and activism in queer asylum stories

Mike Baynham, University of Leeds

Bahiru Shewaye, House of Guramayle

Kayode Gomes, Love Planet

Abstract The Queer Asylum Stories project collected interviews with people who had successfully gained asylum based on their sexuality. The focus of this article is on life stories leading up to and triggering the decision to seek asylum, and the processes of formation of the interviewees’ queer subjectivity. The discussion draws on the three related constructs of interpellation, ideological becoming and habitus, and considers the role of queer activism, understood as a dimension of queer habitus as theorised in the foundational work of Didier Eribon. Finding that the term ‘activism’ is widely used but infrequently defined, the article suggests that activism in general, and queer activism in particular, need to be defined explicitly and explored in order to gain a deeper understanding of what is involved. It provides a working definition of queer activism to guide this process.

Metalinguistic discourses of ‘styling the other’: The discursive construction of liminal masculinities

Busi Makoni, Pennsylvania State University

Abstract This article explores how mobility shapes language, gender and sexuality during periods of indeterminacy, focusing on the discursive construction of masculinities. Using styling/‘styling the other’ as an interpretive framework, the article analyses how economic precarity leads to ambivalence in the masculinities of Zimbabwean heterosexual-identifying male migrants (ages 26–30 years) in Johannesburg. Interview data suggests that these men engaged in male-to-male sex work to achieve economic security. To solicit wealthy white men, the men performed stereotypical Black hypermasculinity and sophisticated, cosmopolitan gay subjectivities through language crossing and physical styling. These performances ultimately aimed to achieve the normative masculine identity of being a husband and provider. The article elucidates the paradox in which the men appropriated Polari, a British gay patois, and foreign or white understandings of Black/African masculinity to style the ‘other’ while fulfilling traditional Zimbabwean notions of masculinity.

'We also have lives, you know': Social media and identity work of Filipina labour migrants in Hong Kong

Alwin C. Aguirre, University of the Philippines

Abstract Using a multimodal discursive approach supplemented with semi-structured interviews, this article analyses the identity work of Hong Kong-based Filipina labour migrants on social media. The study is premised on the representational potential of these media forms to circulate ideas that either challenge or reinforce dominant notions of migrant life. The intersections of gender, race and class in the participants’ discourses are salient as they attempt to make sense of their lives in the host city through online signifying affordances. Further, a desire to differentiate themselves from dominant notions of being a Filipino woman in Hong Kong is prominent, illustrating the need to interrogate limiting and oppressive characterisations of migrants that are emplaced in both online and offline realities.

Static or mobile positions for the male asylum seeker?: Teaching ‘Danish sexual morals’ at asylum centres

Kristine Køhler Mortensen, University of Copenhagen

Abstract This article examines how concepts of gender and sexuality are increasingly being mobilised as symbolic values in Danish immigration politics. The Danish national self-perception rests on an idea of widespread tolerance, especially regarding gender and sexuality. However, understandings of gender and sexuality as represented in Danish immigration discourse draw clear boundaries between insiders and outsiders. As of 2017, Danish asylum centres introduced compulsory teaching of so-called ‘Danish sexual morals’ as an attempt to prevent sexual violence by educating asylum seekers in sexual conduct. Based on fieldwork conducted in a language and culture class at an asylum centre, the analysis demonstrates how the teacher simultaneously reproduces and challenges concepts of differing national sexualities as they appear in the teaching material, and how the students push back against culturally specific conceptualisations of gender and sexuality by offering personal narratives countering those ascribed to them in the stereotypical representations.

National heroes or dangerous failures: Mobilizing gender in Salvadoran migration discourse to create relational neoliberal personhood

Lynnette Arnold, University of Massachusetts

Abstract This article centres the Global South in studies of language and mobility by focusing on migration discourse in El Salvador, a Central American country with four decades of widespread emigration. The analysis examines state-endorsed discourses, tracing how entextualised figures of migrant personhood shift over time in response to changing political-economic conditions. Gender is central to these dominant depictions, which rely on a consistent contrast between successful and failed migrants that mobilises neoliberal models of personhood. This dichotomy emerges through indexical associations with heteropatriachal forms of care: successful migrants fulfil their responsibilities by providing for their family and their nation, whereas failed migrants do not. By placing the onus on individual actions, these dominant discourses elide the state abandonment and global political economic inequalities that continue to compel Salvadorans to migrate.

Mediated by the materiality of spaces: Language, mobility, gender and sexuality in the posthuman era

Shaila Sultana, BRAC University and University of Dhaka

Abstract This commentary considers how the special issue ‘Mobilising Language, Gender and Sexuality Studies’ contributes to recent developments in theories that demonstrate the importance of taking a posthumanist approach to sociolinguistics research. While the papers in the special issue show how mobile communities, including migrants, asylum seekers, sex workers and domestic workers, make sense of and participate in different activities in the world, this commentary shows that people in these communities also make sense of themselves with reference to different spaces – both real and imaginary, and both near and distant. Teasing out these aspects, the commentary suggests keeping research about posthumanism, the Global South and alternative ways of doing sociolinguistics at the core of the exploration of the complexities inherent in language practices, gender, sexuality, and individual and collective mobility, migration and resistance.

Of discursive passports and checkpoints.

Tommaso M. Milani, Pennsylvania State University and University of the Witwatersrand

Abstract This commentary advances the notions of passports and checkpoints as heuristics through which to theorise the external and internal push and pull of identity and desire within specific regimes of normativities and geopolitical imbalances. More specifically, passporting happens when normative regimes of representations issue what one could call discursive passports – that is, institutionalised identity bundles, which sediment over time, defining individuals as specific ‘types’. Such discursive passports are no less harmful than their material counterparts because they can constrain people’s access to resources in more pervasive and far-reaching ways than their identity documents do. On the other hand, checkpoints are interactional moments in which people police themselves and others in everyday interactions. Checkpoints can be 1) external, when one’s discursive positionings or emotional expressions are questioned or even blocked by other people, or 2) internal, when people police their sense of belonging and affective practices such as desire.

Key words checkpoint, gender, mobility, passport(ing), sexuality

期刊简介

Gender and Language offers an international forum for language-based research on gender and sexuality from feminist, queer, and trans perspectives. While there are many journals focused on gender and many journals focused on language, Gender and Language is currently the only academic journal to which scholars interested in the intersection of these dimensions can turn, whether as contributors looking for an audience sharing this focus or as readers seeking a reliable source for current discussions in the field. The journal showcases research on the social analytics of gender in discourse domains that include institutions, media, politics and everyday interaction.

《性别与语言》是一个国际杂志，致力于从女性主义、酷儿主义和跨性别视角探讨语言与性别及性取向之间的关系。作为唯一一个专注于这一交叉领域的学术期刊，它展示了社会性别在话语领域（如机构、媒体、政治和日常互动）中的研究成果。

As a point of departure, Gender and Language defines gender along two key dimensions. First, gender is a key element of social relationships that are often loosely linked to perceived differences between women and men. Gender relations are ideologically encoded in linguistic and symbolic representations, normative concepts, institutions, social practices, and social identities. Second, gender is a primary arena for articulating power in complex interaction with other dimensions of social difference and identity, such as class, race, ability, age, and sexuality. Gender is understood as multi-faceted, always changing, and often contested. The editors welcome discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of competing definitions of gender and of new analytical perspectives.

《性别与语言》将性别定义为两个关键维度：一方面，性别是社会关系的重要组成部分，通常与人们对女性和男性之间的差异有关，而这些差异在语言和符号表达、规范概念、制度和社会身份中得到编码；另一方面，性别是权力斗争的主要场所，在与社会差异和身份（如阶级、种族、能力、年龄和性取向）的复杂互动中扮演着重要角色。

Gender and Language was established in 2007 by the founding editors and Equinox Publishing, with the endorsement of the International Gender and Language Association (IGALA). Equinox and IGALA continue to enjoy a close partnership to further mutual goals of promoting cutting edge research on gender and language. Most critically, the journal aims to bring together a pan-global, interdisciplinary consortium of scholars whose work collectively challenges established disciplinary boundaries and incorporates multiple geopolitical axes of academic interpretation. To this end, the journal welcomes research employing a range of different approaches, among them applied linguistics, conversation analysis, corpus linguistics, critical discourse analysis, discursive psychology, embodied sociolinguistics, ethnography of communication, interactional sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, linguistic landscapes, pragmatics, raciolinguistics, social semiotics, sociophonetics, stylistics, symbolic interactionism and variationist sociolinguistics.Gender and Language welcomes research articles that display originality with respect to theoretical framing, use of empirical materials, timeliness, and/or methodological orientation. The journal also invites critical essays, interviews, exchanges, colloquia, commentaries and responses, brief translations of key articles originally published in languages other than English, profiles of key figures, reviews of recently published books and special issues devoted to topics of relevance to the field.

《性别与语言》成立于2007年，得到了国际性别与语言协会（IGALA）的认可，与Equinox Publishing保持密切合作。它旨在汇集全球跨学科学者，挑战学科界限，涵盖多个学术解释轴线。该期刊欢迎各种方法的研究，包括应用语言学、批判性话语分析、语料库语言学、话语心理学等。
