Abstract

This article deals with mostly negative ideological images of refugees, as they erupted in political graffiti and street art (stickers, stencils, various inscriptions) in Slovenia during the so-called refugee crisis from the fall of 2015 on. Its basic questions are three: How is the ideological process of othering the refugees constructed in political graffiti? How does this relate to dominant discourses and practices in Slovenian society (from official politics to mass media)? What were the reactions against such sprayed hate speech (so pro-refugee graffiti)? The process of othering progresses in two steps: refugees are first imagined as an unified mass that is radically different from imaginary notions of “Slovenianism” and “Europeanism,” which then serves as the basis for differentiation between more and less acceptable of them. On these grounds, four different ideological images are created: a refugee as a criminal, a refugee as an uninvited visitor, a refugee as a powerless victim, and a refugee as a global proletarian. About 150 original photos of anti- and pro-refugee graffiti, mostly from Slovenia (but for comparative reasons also from the whole region), are analyzed using the semiotic method as developed by its classics and finally interpreted with Theodor Adorno and Alexander Mitscherlich's concepts of “displacement of hatred” and Seymour Martin Lipset's concept of “extremism of the center.”
“新他人”
这篇文章主要涉及难民的负面意识形态形象,因为从2015年秋天开始,在所谓的难民危机期间,难民在斯洛文尼亚的政治涂鸦和街头艺术(贴纸、模板、各种铭文)中爆发。它的基本问题有三个:在政治涂鸦中如何构建其他难民的意识形态过程?这与斯洛文尼亚社会(从官方政治到大众媒体)的主流话语和实践有何关系?人们对这种喷出来的仇恨言论(如此支持难民的涂鸦)有何反应?其他化的过程分为两个步骤:难民首先被想象成一个统一的群体,与“斯洛文尼亚主义”和“欧洲主义”的想象概念截然不同,后者是区分他们或多或少可接受的概念的基础。基于这些理由,产生了四种不同的意识形态形象:作为罪犯的难民、作为不请自来的访客的难民、无权的受害者的难民和作为全球无产阶级的难民。大约150张反难民和支持难民涂鸦的原始照片,大部分来自斯洛文尼亚(但出于比较原因,也来自整个地区),使用其经典发展的符号学方法进行了分析,并最终与西奥多·阿多诺和亚历山大·米歇尔利希的“仇恨的位移”概念以及西摩·马丁·利普塞特的“中心极端主义”概念进行了解释
