The ideological model of war: discursive mediations of the Self and the Enemy

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

When a nation goes to war, powerful mechanisms come into play, in order to turn an adversary into the enemy. Where the existence of an adversary is considered legitimate and the right to defend their - distinct - ideas is not questioned, an enemy is excluded from the political community and has to be destroyed. In this chapter Laclau and Mouffe's discourse theory is put to work to build a model that describes the role that ideology plays in mediating and constructing the identities of the Enemy, the Self and of violence itself. The theoretical starting point of this chapter is that these identities are structured by a set of discourses, articulating the identities of all parties involved. These discourses on the Enemy are based on a series of binary oppositions, such as good/evil, just/unjust, guilty/innocent, rational/irrational and civilised/uncivilised, which can be defined as floating signifiers. As floating signifiers, these dichotomies have no fixed meaning, but they are (re)arti
