ABSTRACT

Research has found humour and gender to be linked (Davies, 2006, Gendered sense of humor as expressed through aesthetic typifications. Journal of Pragmatics, 38(1), 96–113. doi:10.1016/j.pragma.2005.06.006; Kotthoff 2006, Gender and humor: The state of the art. Journal of pragmatics, 38(1), 4–25. doi:10.1016/j.pragma.2005.06.003), specifically within languages/cultures (see Thielemann, 2011, Displays of’ new’ gender arrangements in Russian jokes. In M. Dynel (Ed.), The pragmatics of humour across discourse domains (pp. 147–172). John Benjamins, for jokes in Russian). In this respect, women are often subject of jokes and, in some cases, this reproduces the gendered imbalance of suitable roles in private and public spaces. In this paper, I examine the message of two jokes told by Italian fathers policing their daughters’ sexuality, as well as the interactions between myself and these fathers on Twitter. Using Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (Lazar, 2007, Feminist critical discourse analysis: Articulating a feminist discourse praxis. Critical Discourse Studies, 4(2), 141–164. doi:10.1080/17405900701464816; Lazar, 2018, Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis. In J. Flowerdew, & E. J.

Richardson (Eds.), The Routledge Handbook of Critical Discourse Studies (pp. 582–596). Routledge) and through adapting a framework designed to approach sexist jokes (Sunderland, 2007, Contradictions in gendered discourses: feminist readings of sexist jokes? Gender & Language, 1(2), 207–228. doi:10.1558/genl.v1i2.207), I discuss: (a) the ‘who/what the text is about’, and (b) a desire to a traditional fatherhood emerging from the interactions in it’s just banter and the good and happy father. Specifically, I discuss fatherhood as linked to an ontological desire (Kiesling, 2011, The interactional construction of desire as gender. Gender and Language, 5(2), 213–239. doi:10.1558/genl.v5i2.213) in connection to an alleged transition from old to new fatherhood (Cannito 2019, Beyond ‘Traditional’ and ‘New’: An Attempt of Redefinition of Contemporary Fatherhoods through Discursive Practices and Practices of Care.

摘要

研究发现幽默和性别有关（戴维斯，2006 年，通过审美典型表达的性别幽默感。语用学杂志，38（1），96-113。doi：10.1016/j.pragma.2005.06.006；Kotthoff 2006 年，性别和幽默：最先进的技术。语用学杂志，38(1), 4-25. doi:10.1016/j.pragma.2005.06.003)，特别是在语言/文化中（见 Thielemann，2011，显示俄语笑话中的“新”性别安排。在 M. Dynel (Ed.),跨话语领域幽默的语用学(pp. 147–172). John Benjamins, 用于俄语笑话。在这方面，女性经常成为笑话的对象，在某些情况下，这再现了合适角色的性别失衡在私人和公共空间。在这篇论文中，我研究了意大利父亲在监管女儿的性行为时讲的两个笑话所传达的信息，以及我和这些父亲在 Twitter 上的互动。使用女性主义批判话语分析（Lazar，2007，女性主义批判话语分析：阐明女性主义话语实践。批判话语研究，4（2），141–164。doi：10.1080/17405900701464816；Lazar，女性主义话语分析，2018 J.

Flowerdew 和 EJ Richardson（编辑）中，Routledge 批判性话语研究手册（第 582-596 页）。Routledge）并通过调整旨在处理性别歧视笑话的框架（桑德兰，2007 年，性别话语中的矛盾：性别歧视笑话的女性主义解读？性别与语言，1(2)，207–228。doi:10.1558/genl.v1i2.207 ），我讨论：（a）“谁/文本是关于什么的”，以及（b）从互动中产生的对传统父亲身份的渴望，这只是玩笑和善良快乐的父亲。具体来说，我讨论了与本体论欲望相关的父亲身份（Kiesling，2011，欲望作为性别的互动构建。性别和语言, 5(2), 213–239。doi:10.1558/genl.v5i2.213）与所谓的从旧父亲到新父亲的转变有关（Cannito 2019，超越“传统”和“新”：通过话语实践和护理实践重新定义当代父亲的尝试。男人和男性气质，1-19；Magaraggia，2013 年，父亲身份与意大利男性气质的社会建构之间的紧张关系。当代社会学，61(1), 76-92. doi:10.1177/0011392112464231) 在意大利。
