摘要

摘要幽默在种族主义表达中的作用有待进一步研究。一个原因是,在“后种族主义”社会中,公开的种族主义已变得不可接受,因此往往以更隐蔽的形式出现。在这篇文章中,作为一个关于罗姆人媒体表现的大型项目的一部分,我们着眼于幽默在罗马尼亚电视新闻片段中所扮演的角色,该片段报道了乞讨的经济回报。我们借鉴幽默研究中的批判性学术,对一篇从较大语料库中挑选出来的新闻报道进行多模态批评语篇分析。我们认为,通过幽默,对罗姆人的处境进行了重新语境化,将他们贫穷和社会边缘化的实际情况转变为文化失败、无能、愚蠢和有计划的金钱掠夺的幽默叙述。我们表明,幽默是少数民族体现文化的一种方式。

Using humor to disguise racism in television news: the case of the Roma
Abstract It has been argued that more research is needed on the role of humor in the expression of racism. One reason is that, in the ‘post racial’ society, overt racism has become publicly unacceptable and, therefore, tends to appear in more concealed forms. In this paper, as part of a larger project on media representations of the Roma, we look at the role of humor in a Romanian television news clip reporting on the financial rewards of begging. We draw on the critical scholarship in humor research and carry out a multimodal critical discourse analysis of a news report selected from a larger corpus. We argue that through humor a recontextualisation of the Roma’s situation takes place, transforming their actual situation of poverty and social marginalisation into a humorous account of cultural failure, incompetence, stupidity and calculated money grabbing. We show that humor is one way by which culture becomes represented as embodied by ethnic minorities.
