摘要

关于COVID-19对动员的影响的研究广泛侧重于社交媒体、阴谋论和分裂叙事的作用。然而，个人的看法仍然没有得到充分的研究。本文认为，幻想叙事是动员的核心，旨在分析大流行期间话语的变化是幻想逻辑转变的结果。它将逻辑方法应用于立陶宛的案例，以确定在回应政府行为时变得明显的话语的幻想逻辑的主要变化。这篇文章分析了在宣布“隔离未接种者”的两个月期间(2021年6月至8月)收集的社交媒体帖子数据。分析揭示了话语的幻想逻辑的重大变化——他者不再被抗议者视为为了自己的利益而腐败，而是纯粹的邪恶，这反过来又导致了各种阴谋论的开放。

“We Will Die as Free People”

Research on the impact of COVID-19 on mobilization focuses extensively on the role of social media, conspiracy theories, and divisive narratives. However, individual perceptions remain insufficiently researched. This article argues that fantasmatic narratives are central to mobilization and aims to analyze changes in discourse during the pandemic as outcomes of shifts in fantasmatic logics. It applies the logics approach to the Lithuanian case to identify the main changes in fantasmatic logics of discourse that became apparent in response to government action. The article analyzes data from social media posts, gathered over a period of two months (June–August 2021), the period centered around the announcement of the “quarantine of the unvaccinated.” The analysis revealed significant changes in fantasmatic logics of discourse—the Other was no longer seen as corrupt for their own gain by the protesters, but as purely evil, which in turn led to openness to various conspiracy theories.
