在这篇文章中，我认为英国脱欧是一种更普遍的意识形态的表达——英国脱欧主义——我通过对一系列演讲、报纸、宣传材料和社交媒体上的引文的评论来探索这种意识形态。这种方法是恰当的，因为英国退欧主义本身就是一种引用——对记忆模糊的真实和虚构的过去政治姿态的重复——暗示着更深层次的东西。通过探索英国脱欧主义意识形态的三个不同元素——英雄主义、时间和区别——的片段，我认为这些可以被解读为一种潜在的、动态的和“富有成效的”概念领域的表达，类似于马克斯·韦伯所描述的“面向世界的立场”。这是“脱欧的形而上学”，离开它就不能完全理解。
In this article, I consider Brexit as the expression of a more general ideology – Brexitism – which I explore through commentary upon a series of quotations drawn from speeches, newspapers, propaganda material and social media. This method is appropriate because Brexitism is itself a kind of quotation – a repetition of half-remembered actual and fictional past political gestures – which allude to something deeper. Exploring fragments which illustrate three different elements of Brexitist ideology – Heroism, Time and Distinction – I suggest that these can be read as expressions of an underlying, dynamic and ‘productive’ conceptual field, similar to what Max Weber described as a ‘stand toward the world’. This is the ‘metaphysics of Brexit’ apart from which it cannot be fully understood.
