Joe Blann’s (2011) comic ‘Things We had’ is a complex and nuanced multimodal realisation of a tense interaction between a couple, rendered through the subtle interplay of narration, panel composition and dialogue. The tug of war and blame game the couple engage in are rife with instances of impoliteness. Drawing on Culpeper’s (2011a, 2015b) impoliteness framework and an integrative pragmatics approach, this article examines the sophisticated multimodal realisation of impoliteness and power dynamics, with a particular focus on the subtle forms of implicational impoliteness and intricate impoliteness patterning used in the fictional interaction. In doing so, it analyses the interplay between impoliteness and power dynamics in the exchange, highlighting the importance of impoliteness analysis in revealing the fluid relational power dynamics underlying the couple’s interaction. This is accompanied by an analysis of the key affective and interactional role of impoliteness in driving the exchange between the couple. Impoliteness, along with the evaluative negative affect it involves, is shown to be instrumental in the couple’s struggle for interactional power in the course of the interaction, and also more broadly, in their negotiation of relational power within the relationship.

亲密互动中的不礼貌和权力动态:乔·布兰 (Joe Blann) 的“我们拥有的东西”分析

乔·布兰 (Joe Blann) (2011) 的漫画《我们拥有的东西》是对情侣之间紧张互动的复杂而微妙的多模态实现,通过叙述、面板构图和对话的微妙相互作用呈现。这对夫妇进行的拔河和责备游戏充斥着不礼貌的例子。借鉴 Culpeper (2011a, 2015b) 的不礼貌框架和综合语用学方法,本文研究了不礼貌和权力动态的复杂多模态实现,特别关注在虚构互动中使用的暗示不礼貌和复杂的不礼貌模式的微妙形式。在此过程中,它分析了交流中不礼貌和权力动态之间的相互作用,强调不礼貌分析在揭示夫妻互动背后的流动关系权力动态方面的重要性。伴随着对不礼貌在推动夫妻之间交流的关键情感和互动作用的分析。不礼貌,连同它所涉及的负面评价,被证明有助于夫妻在互动过程中争取互动权力的斗争,更广泛地说,在他们对关系中的关系权力进行谈判时。
