项目摘要

Looking at the print media coverage of the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine one might say that geopolitics is back in the news. Geopolitical representations are experiencing an amazing revival framing international power constellations in Europe. Such a renaissance of old East-West antagonisms under new conditions is having a serious impact on discourses and conflict representations in international politics. Against this background our project examines the current geopolitical representations and Leitmotifs in the coverage of selected print media on the conflicts in Georgia (2008) and Ukraine in particular. Starting from a critical geopolitics perspective and introducing Foucaults discourse analytical concept of the archive, the study aims at understanding the dynamics of the corresponding discoursive changes since the end of the Cold War up to the present conflicts. From a theoretical perspective, the project examines how historical geopolitical representations (e.g. natural determinism, spatial determinism, imperialism, Cold War dialectics) are being reactivated to serve as a discursive framing for present political conflicts. It follows the thesis that such a rearticulation (Laclau & Mouffe 1985) does not leave the meaning of the representations unchanged. Instead, some keywords of the resurrecting historic geopolitical imaginations become floating signifiers (ibid.) changing both parts of their semantic meanings and their underlying geographical imaginations.

看看印刷媒体对乌克兰持续冲突的报道，人们可能会说地缘政治又回到了新闻中。地缘政治代表正在经历一个惊人的复兴，在欧洲构建国际权力格局。这种东西方对抗在新条件下的复兴对国际政治中的话语和冲突表述产生了严重影响。在此背景下，我们的项目研究了当前的地缘政治代表性和Leitmotifs在格鲁吉亚（2008年），特别是乌克兰的冲突选定的平面媒体的报道。本研究从批判地缘政治学的视角出发，引入福柯的话语分析概念，旨在理解冷战结束到当前冲突的话语变化动态。从理论的角度来看，该项目探讨了历史地缘政治表征（例如自然决定论，空间决定论，帝国主义，冷战辩证法）如何被重新激活，以作为当前政治冲突的话语框架。它遵循这样一个论点，即这种重新表达（Laclau & Mouffe 1985）并没有使表征的意义保持不变。相反，复活的历史地缘政治想象的一些关键词成为浮动的能指（同上）。改变了它们的语义和潜在的地理想象。
