摘要

本研究追溯了1978-79年伊朗革命后的第一个十年里美国对伊朗政策和叙事的发展。在分析了近1200篇报道的基础上，研究了主流英语新闻媒体（主要是美国新闻媒体）是如何描绘伊斯兰革命卫队和两伊战争（1980 - 1988）的。它认为，政策制定者和媒体构建的叙事对美伊关系产生了重大影响，这种既定的话语和行动模式一直持续到今天。这一过程有助于巩固官方和大众的观念，即伊朗是一个危险的威胁，与美国的价值观和利益背道而驰，因此有必要采取敌对和对抗的政策。

Conjuring an Enemy: US Discourse and Policy on Iran, 1979–88

This study traces the development of US policy toward and narrative on Iran in the first decade after the 1978–79 Iranian revolution. It examines how the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Iran-Iraq War (1980–88) were portrayed in the mainstream English-language (primarily American) news media, based on an analysis of nearly 1,200 reports. It argues that the narrative constructed by policy makers and the press significantly impacted US-Iran relations, and this established patterns of discourse and action that have persisted to this day. This process helped solidify the official and popular conception of Iran as a dangerous threat antithetical to US values and interests, necessitating a policy of enmity and confrontation.
