摘要

本文认为基督教独立电影系列《上帝未死》是对白人基督教民族主义的进一步情感投资。我将Lundberg(2009)对福音派公众的分析与Kelly(2020)的怨恨概念结合起来，探索该系列如何作为白人基督徒边缘化的表现。此外，该系列中保守派基督徒的边缘化感受与民权运动和身份政治是一致的。我认为《上帝未死》系列是保守基督教文化中的媒体如何维持对白人基督教民族主义的投资的一个说明性例子，这种投资可以激发政治行动并为暴力辩护。

The right to believe: constructions of white Christian victimhood in the God’s Not Dead series

ABSTRACT This essay argues that the Christian independent film series God’s Not Dead operates to further affective investment in white Christian nationalism. I combine Lundberg’s (2009) analysis of evangelical publics with Kelly’s (2020) concept of ressentiment to explore how the series acts as performances of white Christian marginality Further, the felt marginality of conservative Christians in the series is aligned with civil rights movements and identity politics. I argue that the God’s Not Dead series is an illustrative example of how media in the conservative Christian culture can operate to maintain investments in white Christian nationalism that can motivate political action and justify violence.
