摘要

分析参与最近阿拉伯起义的青年面临的挑战之一是解释和理解他们的革命实践。在埃及起义的十八天里,年轻人采取了一种无领导、跨意识形态的动员形式,通过团结不同的埃及人群体,实现了包容。然而,在推翻穆巴拉克之后,革命青年并没有表现出夺取政权的意图,这是革命的一个决定性特征,至少直到20世纪70年代。为了理解这些新的跨意识形态和无领导动员形式的意义,我建议在青年的时间和空间内理解他们。本文借鉴了阿兰·巴迪乌及其关于间歇期和阿拉伯起义中历史重生的概念,强调了这一代人在政治观念上的重要差异。更具体地说,本文关注英雄人物意义的变化,强调包容性政治的重要性。这表明,自2011年革命事件以来,埃及年轻一代所希望的更具包容性的政治,正在与基于领导人和意识形态的传统政治相转变。

In Absence of a Hero Figure and an Ideology: Understanding New Political Imaginaries and Practices among Revolutionary Youth in Egypt
One of the challenges in analyzing youth who participated in the recent Arab uprisings relates to explaining and understanding their revolutionary practices. Adopting a leaderless and cross-ideological form of mobilization, youth during the eighteen days of the Egyptian uprising managed to practice inclusion by uniting a diverse group of Egyptians. After toppling Mubarak, the revolutionary youth, however, did not present themselves as aiming to seize power, a defining feature of revolutions at least until the 1970s. To understand the meaning of these new cross-ideological and leaderless forms of mobilization, I suggest understanding youth within their time and space. Drawing on Alain Badiou and his conception of the intervallic period and the rebirth of history through the Arab revolts, this article highlights important differences among this generation in their conception of doing politics. More specifically, this paper focuses on the changed meaning of the hero figure, highlighting the importance of inclusionary politics. It will suggest that since the 2011 revolutionary event, a shift away from traditional politics based on a leader and an ideology is being contested for a more inclusionary politics as desired by the younger generation in Egypt.
