TERRORISM DISCOURSE AND EMOTIONS: AUSTRALIA

Original language description

Terrorism has been often considered to be a subjective label rather than a distinct form ofviolence. Discourse has played an important role in creating the threat of terrorism, as well asin the legitimisation of counterterrorism level. The importance of studying discourse can thusno longer be denied. This article analysed the character of official discourse on terrorismdelivered by Australian prime ministers between 9/11 and the end of 2019, since Australia isone of the countries involved in the War on Terror. The author used the NVivo software toanalyse speeches delivered by John Howard, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, Tony Abbott, ScottMorrison, and Malcolm Turnbull. She applies Norman Fairclough&apos;s three-level CriticalDiscourse Analysis to study the character of the speeches, positive and negative emotionswhich were invoked by the speeches and the connections that were drawn to otherdiscourses. She also analyses the context in which the speeches were delivered as well asthe adopted counterterrorism measures that were legitimized in the speeches. The results ofthe analysis demonstrated that all Australian prime ministers used the terrorism label to someextent, however each of them delivered speeches on terrorism that had a different character.All of the analysed prime ministers, with the exception of Kevin Rudd, also presentedemotional discourse on terrorism. The article demonstrates how is the terrorism labelportrayed differently by each speaker, and that not all discourse on terrorism has tonecessarily be emotional.
