| Summary: | 碩士 === 南華大學 === 應用社會學系社會學碩士班 === 101 === This thesis first starts with the earthquake of Sichuan as a state of exception of society which was represented by media as a disaster that should be sympathized out of the sentiment of sacredness. In that case, if someone violates such kind of sacred sentiments, he or she will be chastised by the public.
We try to analyze a girl named Zhang Ya who expressed her impatience and despise regarding victims of the quake on youtube. By doing so, Zhang Ya infringed the sacredness of society and thereby evoked irritation towards her. We want to investigate of cultural background of the curse words. We assume that curse words are the projection of the things most people care about
What we most interested in this thesis is that, when cursing Zhang Ya collectively, for the sake of defending sacredness of society, a kind of purity so to speak, people use the dirties words to achieve that. In order to analyze this paradoxical situation, we are going to use discourse analysis to interpret it.
