摘要

2018年，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在一次关于移民的会议上称萨尔瓦多、海地和非洲大陆为“粪坑”。这个评论很容易被解读为种族主义，它位于一个更大的厕所话语中，这个话语运用了我所谓的“粪坑修辞”来进一步反穆斯林和反酷儿的焦虑。这些焦虑集中在大便洞的解剖结构和基础设施上，即肛门和蹲式厕所。我研究了特朗普的几篇文章中的大便修辞，以揭示厕所在美国民族主义话语中的奇怪作用。此外，我还研究了流行文化中的厕所文本，这些文本试图打断这种狗屁修辞。

Shithole rhetorics

ABSTRACT In 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump described El Salvador, Haiti, and the continent of Africa as “shitholes” in a meeting about immigration. This comment, which was readily legible as racist, is situated within a larger toileting discourse that deploys what I call “shithole rhetorics” to further anti-Muslim and anti-queer anxieties. These anxieties cluster around the anatomy and infrastructure of shitholes, i.e., anuses and squat toilets. I examine shithole rhetorics in several Trumpian texts to expose the bizarre role of toileting in U.S. nationalist discourse. Additionally, I examine toileting texts from popular culture that seek to interrupt such shithole rhetorics.
