摘要

尽管对阴谋论进行了大量研究,特别是对新冠肺炎阴谋论的多项研究,但用户对阴谋论的反应是社交媒体话语中一个未被充分探索的领域。这项研究旨在通过检查对新冠肺炎阴谋论激增的幽默反应数据集来填补这一空白,该数据集基于带有贬义标签#CovidConspiracy的推文语料库。我们报道了这些帖子中异义话语声音的复杂编排,以揭示其修辞功能,倾向于表达负面立场,在某些情况下,相当于嘲笑。这种声音相互作用的话语效果在微观层面上包括模仿、戏仿、嘲笑和讽刺,而在互动(宏观)层面上,反阴谋推文共同产生了我们所称的“多焦点蔑视”。它表达了多个用户对阴谋论的尖锐批评和蔑视,而推特的幽默则展示了用户的智慧和对阴谋论者的优越感。

Enacting polyvocal scorn in #CovidConspiracy tweets: The orchestration of voices in humorous responses to COVID-19 conspiracy theories

Despite the abundance of research into conspiracy theories, including multiple studies of Covid-19 conspiracy theories in particular, user reactions to conspiracy theories are an underexplored area of social media discourse. This study aims to fill this gap by examining a dataset of humorous responses to proliferating COVID-19 conspiracy theories based on a corpus of tweets bearing the pejorative hashtag #CovidConspiracy. We report the complex orchestration of heteroglossic discursive voices in these posts to reveal their rhetorical function, oriented towards expressing a negative stance and, in some cases, amounting to ridicule. The discursive effects of this interplay of voices entail imitation, parody, mockery and irony on the micro level, while on the interactional (macro) level, anti-conspiracy tweets jointly enact what we dub “polyvocal scorn”. It expresses multiple users’ trenchant critique and contempt for conspiracy theories, while the humour of the tweets serves to display the users’ wit and superiority over conspiracy theorists.
