摘要

中国的网络空间充满了互联网用户创造和传播的新表达方式。这些文章通常语气轻松,被许多媒体学者视为一种有趣和讽刺的言论形式,体现了“草根”网民对威权党国的狂欢式反抗。本文采用批判的社会语言学视角,对网络流行语“屌丝”和“色狼”的语篇结构进行分析,以说明中国网络话语的矛盾阶级取向。文章认为,虽然屌丝的文字游戏似乎表明了一种弱势或草根身份,但其话语结构实际上是以一种中间立场为特征的,这种立场在认同经济上占主导地位的群体和承认当代中国真正从属的社会群体(如农民工)之间摇摆不定。互联网用户的社会分层和等级,以及制度力量对数字文化的同时选择,必须加以考虑,以便充分评估中国和其他国家好玩的网络实践的政治含义。

Title: Who are the “grassroots”? On the ambivalent class orientation of online wordplay in China
ABSTRACT Chinese cyberspace is vibrant with new expressions created and disseminated by Internet users. Generally light in tone, they have been viewed by numerous media scholars as constituting a playful and satirical form of speech which exemplifies “grassroots” netizens’ carnivalesque resistance against the authoritarian party-state. Adopting a critical sociolinguistic perspective, the article focuses on the textual constructions of two online buzzwords diaosi and shamate to illustrate the ambivalent class orientation of Chinese Internet discourse. It argues that while the diaosi wordplay appears to signify an underprivileged or grassroots identity, its discursive construction is in effect characterized by an intermediate position which oscillates between identifying with the economically dominant and recognizing the truly subordinate social groups in contemporary China – such as rural migrant workers. The social stratification and hierarchy of Internet users, as well as the simultaneous cooption of digital culture by institutional forces must be taken into account so as to fully evaluate the political implications of playful online practices in China and beyond.
