在过去的三十年里,英国的媒体控制政策有了显着的增长。尽管如此,迄今为止,学术文献仍未能检验英国政治精英对媒体与政治暴力之间关系的理解。本文具有原创性,通过分析英国议员讨论引入影响深远的媒体控制措施(即1988年的广播禁令和2019年的反恐与边境安全法案)的关键议会辩论,对政治精英关于恐怖主义、媒体和受众的话语进行历史比较。该分析采用“想象中的受众”的概念,基于话语历史方法(DHA),表明议员们在这些讨论中构建媒体受众的方式存在显着差异。 1988年,英国议员们一贯呼吁理性、消息灵通和负责任的受众,而三十年后,议员们漫无目的地利用无知和容易受影响的受众来支持高度限制性的媒体控制措施。文章认为,这种转变是基于媒体“传染理论”和仇视伊斯兰教观念的复兴,这些观念将某些人群视为脆弱、非理性和高度敏感的,这与 1988 年议员们设想的聪明、明智的受众形成鲜明对比。
Over the last three decades, there has been a significant growth in media control policies in the UK. Nonetheless, academic literature has so far failed to examine British political elites’ understandings of the relationship between the media and political violence. This article makes an original contribution by conducting a historical comparison of political elites’ discourses on terrorism, the media, and audiences through the analysis of key parliamentary debates in which British MPs discussed the introduction of far-reaching media control measures (i.e. the 1988 Broadcasting Ban and the 2019 Counter-terrorism and Border Security Act). Employing the concept of the “imagined audience”, the analysis, based on a discourse-historical approach (DHA), demonstrates significant differences in how MPs constructed media audiences in these discussions. In 1988, British MPs consistently invoked rational, well-informed, and responsible audiences, whilst thirty years later, constructions of unknowledgeable and easily influenced audiences were discursively deployed by MPs in support of highly restrictive media control measures. The article suggests that this transformation is based on a resurgence of the media “contagion theory” and Islamophobic notions that construct certain sections of the population as vulnerable, irrational, and highly susceptible, in contrast to the intelligent and sensible audiences envisioned by MPs in 1988.
