Abstract

Previous research on language, sexuality, and affect has focused primarily on the presence rather than the absence of desire. This analysis investigates the linguistic manifestations of non-desire on two subreddits: r/AskReddit and r/Asexual. Contrasting asexual redditors’ responses to threads such as When and how did you realize you were asexual? with straight, allosexual redditors’ responses to a thread titled Straight redditors, when did you realize you were straight?, I find that allosexual and asexual redditors’ responses differ in agency and emotionality. While straight allosexual redditors attribute their lack of homosexual desire to factors other than themselves, asexual redditors attribute their lack of allosexual desire to their own identity. Additionally, asexual redditors frame their realizations of their asexuality as processual and emotional, using feel and felt more often than straight allosexual redditors’ responses. These results expose the importance of emotionality – including lack of desire – as a resource for asexual identity construction.
从挤压到挤压
先前关于语言、性和情感的研究主要集中在欲望的存在而不是不存在上。本分析调查了非欲望在两个子版块r/AskReddit和r/As无性上的语言表现。对比无性红编辑对诸如你何时以及如何意识到自己是无性恋之类的话题的反应?异性恋的redditors对一个名为straight redditors的帖子的回应,你什么时候意识到自己是异性恋的?,我发现异性恋者和无性恋者的反应在能动性和情感性上有所不同。异性恋红人将他们缺乏同性恋欲望归因于自身以外的因素,而无性恋红人则将他们缺乏异性欲望归因于自己的身份。此外,无性恋Redditor将他们对无性恋的认识界定为过程性和情感性的,比异性恋redditors的反应更频繁地使用感觉和感觉。这些结果揭示了情感的重要性——包括缺乏欲望——作为无性身份构建的资源。
