摘要

本文将符号收敛理论(SCT)应用于什叶派恐怖组织真主党所使用的象征主义类型。总的来说,SCT假设共享群体幻想有助于符号趋同。符号融合的成功取决于三个重要概念:符号暗示、幻想类型和传奇。一个象征性暗示的例子是真主党的黄绿色标志,象征着全球对异教徒的战斗。关于该组织的幻想类型,我们确定了其中的8种(如圣城日、敌人的定义和个人自我牺牲)。在真主党的传奇故事中,鲁霍拉·霍梅尼(伊朗的大阿亚图拉)和哈桑·纳斯鲁拉(真主党现任领导人)这两位名义上的领袖已经成为数十万真主党成员和数百万什叶派穆斯林崇拜的偶像。一个重要的结论是,事件的象征意义可能比其发生或存在本身更重要。因此,通过象征主义,真主党可以在其追随者中引起共鸣,从而在世界上产生重大变化。

Understanding Hezbollah symbolism through symbolic convergence theory
This article applies symbolic convergence theory (SCT) to the type of symbolism used by Hezbollah, a Shia terrorist organization. By and large, SCT posits that sharing group fantasies contributes to symbolic convergence. The success of symbolic convergence hinges on three important concepts: symbolic cue, fantasy type and saga. An example of a symbolic cue is Hezbollah’s yellow-and-green logo that symbolizes global militancy against infidels. In regards to the organization’s fantasy types, eight of them were identified (e.g. Al-Quds Day, definition of enemies and individual self-sacrifice). Apropos of Hezbollah’s sagas, two figureheads, Ruhollah Khomeini (the Grand Ayatollah in Iran) and Hassan Nasrallah (the current Hezbollah leader), have become idols of worship by hundreds of thousands of Hezbollah members and millions of Shia Muslims. An important conclusion is that events can be more important for their symbolism than their very happening or existence. Hence, through symbolism, Hezbollah can strike a chord within its followers so as to produce significant change in the world.
