This paper uses a feminist discourse analytical approach (Sunderland, 2000, Sunderland, 2004, Lazar, 2005, Lazar, 2007) to analyse a set of online blogposts and personal webpages from ‘exclusive pumpers’ (EPers): women who express breastmilk as an alternative to breastfeeding and using infant formula. Using tools from evaluation and stance analysis (Hunston and Thompson, 2000, Bednarek, 2006, Myers, 2010), I examine how EPers construct opinions about exclusive pumping and breastfeeding. The analysis is centred around three interrelated discourses of exclusive pumping (that are both positively and negatively valued): (1) exclusive pumping as equivalent to breastfeeding; (2) exclusive pumping as a challenge; (3) exclusive pumping as mitigating a failure to breastfeed. This nexus of discourses can be viewed as being underpinned by an ‘overarching’ discourse (Sunderland 2000) of ‘exclusive pumping as abnormal’. The implications of this hegemonic, overarching discourse are discussed in relation to a constructed dichotomy of ‘breastfeeding’ versus ‘bottle feeding’. I show how this dichotomy, and the hegemonic discourse of ‘EPing as abnormal’/’breast is best’ serves to (re)produce discourses of normative motherhood.

布布日记:“独家抽水”博客中的母乳喂养话题

本文使用女权主义话语分析方法(Sunderland,2000; Sunderland,2004; Lazar,2005; Lazar,2007)分析了一组来自“独家抽水者”(EPers)的在线博客和个人网页:将母乳表达为替代母乳喂养和使用婴儿配方奶粉。使用评估和立场分析中的工具(Hunston和Thompson,2000; Bednarek,2006; Myers,2010),我研究了EPers如何构建关于独家抽水和母乳喂养的意见。该分析围绕三个相互关联的排他性话语(正负两个方面)进行了论述:(1)排他性等同于母乳喂养;(2)独家抽水是一个挑战;(3)独家抽水可缓解母乳喂养失败的情况。话语之间的这种联系可以被认为是“排他性抽水为异常”的“总体”话语(Sunderland 2000)的基础。关于“母乳喂养”与“奶瓶喂养”的既有二分法,讨论了这种霸权的总体论述的含义。我展示了这种二分法以及“ EPing为异常” /“乳房最好”的霸权话语如何(再)产生规范性母性话语。
