摘要

“新民粹主义”的兴起通常可以用两种相反的方式来解释,即文化反弹和经济剥夺。他们的对立延续了对经济与身份的二分理解。本文通过引入经济同一性的概念,为克服这种二分法的学术尝试做出了贡献。它建议将“经济”带回文化主义的解释中,作为一个可以被身份和传统指控的话语母题。我认为,关于什么经济实践、制度和惯例似乎适合一个国家的共同假设,可以达到国家认同的目的。对近400份英国脱欧竞选文件的定性话语分析表明,那些支持脱欧的人,通常被认为是“民粹主义者”,并没有忽视经济论据。但他们没有依靠野蛮的经济计算,而是参考了英国的经济传统和辉煌经济过去的形象。通过将对欧盟的经济批评与英国遗产问题联系起来,脱欧使英国退欧成为一个国家经济认同的问题——这是一种话语策略,特别能引起那些经济上被剥夺的人的共鸣。

Economic nostalgia: the salience of economic identity for the Brexit campaign
The rise of ‘new populism’ is commonly explained by two opposing approaches known as cultural backlash and economic deprivation. Their antagonism perpetuates a dichotomous understanding of economy versus identity. This article contributes to scholarly attempts to overcome this dichotomy by introducing the concept of economic identity. It suggests to bring ‘the economic’ back into culturalist explanations as a discursive motif that can be charged with identity and tradition. I argue that shared assumptions about what economic practices, institutions and conventions appear appropriate for the nation can serve the purpose of national identification. A qualitative discourse analysis of almost 400 Brexit campaign documents shows that those in favour of withdrawal and often considered ‘populist’ did not neglect economic arguments. But instead of relying on brute economic calculus, they referred to Britain’s economic traditions and images of a glorious economic past. By linking economic critique of the EU to issues of British heritage, Leave made Brexit a question of national economic identity—a discursive strategy particularly resonating with those economically deprived.

期刊介绍: Originating in the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (SASE), Socio-Economic Review (SER) is part of a broader movement in the social sciences for the rediscovery of the socio-political foundations of the economy. Devoted to the advancement of socio-economics, it deals with the analytical, political and moral questions arising at the intersection between economy and society. Articles in SER explore how the economy is or should be governed by social relations, institutional rules, political decisions, and cultural values. They also consider how the economy in turn affects the society of which it is part, for example by breaking up old institutional forms and giving rise to new ones. The domain of the journal is deliberately broadly conceived, so new variations to its general theme may be discovered and editors can learn from the papers that readers submit. To enhance international dialogue, Socio-Economic Review accepts the submission of translated articles that are simultaneously published in a language other than English. In pursuit of its program, SER is eager to promote interdisciplinary dialogue between sociology, economics, political science and moral philosophy, through both empirical and theoretical work. Empirical papers may be qualitative as well as quantitative, and theoretical papers will not be confined to deductive model-building. Papers suggestive of more generalizable insights into the economy as a domain of social action will be preferred over narrowly specialized work. While firmly committed to the highest standards of scholarly excellence, Socio-Economic Review encourages discussion of the practical and ethical dimensions of economic action, with the intention to contribute to both the advancement of social science and the building of a good economy in a good society.
