Populism and the British Far-right:

批判话语研究检视汤米·鲁宾逊作为反建制的工人阶级“英雄”的心理话语建构。“汤米·罗宾逊”（本名斯蒂芬）已经确立了自己在新的、不断演变的英国极右翼政治环境中的主导地位。他将自己描述为一名右翼活动家和记者，声称自己代表“工人阶级”，并被塑造成英国权利和价值观的捍卫者，反对审查制度、建制派和“英国的伊斯兰化”。通过综合kelsey（2015, 2016）的心理话语和话语神话方法（DMA）以及Wodak的话语历史方法（DHA）（2015），本研究将探讨影响、神话和讲故事如何有助于“汤米罗宾逊”作为民粹主义、反建制的工人阶级“英雄”的构建。它将媒体文本分析与定性半结构化访谈相结合，以调查这种叙事的历史、心理和社会文化复杂性。它将考虑亚克斯利-列侬如何利用民粹主义话语来构建和挑战英国工人阶级的价值观，以及反驳他的恐惧、民族主义和分裂政治所面临的挑战。它将使用有目的的抽样策略，从主流和替代媒体中选择一系列多模式媒体文本，对竞争性叙事、文本、类型和话语进行定性的CDS分析。一种滚雪球式的策略将被用来识别亚克斯利-列侬的支持者，他们认为自己是“工人阶级”，而第一阶段分析的媒体文本将被用作探索解释的提示。这项研究旨在更好地理解导致激进右翼话语越来越被接受以及“汤米·罗宾逊”等人物越来越受欢迎的复杂心理和情感机制。

A Critical Discourse Study examining the psycho-discursive construction of Tommy Robinson as an anti-establishment, working class 'Hero'.'Tommy Robinson' (real name Stephen) has establishedhimself as the dominant figure in new, evolving milieu offar-right British politics. Describing himself as a right-wingactivist and journalist, he claims to represent the 'workingclass' and is stylised as a defender of British rights andvalues, fighting against censorship, the establishment,and the 'Islamification of Britain'. Through a synthesis ofKelsey's (2015, 2016) psycho-discursive and Discourse-Mythology Approach (DMA) and Wodak's Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA) (2015), this study willinvestigate how affect, myth and storytelling contribute tothe construction of 'Tommy Robinson' as a populist, antiestablishmentworking class 'hero'. It will combineanalysis of media texts with qualitative semi-structuredinterviews to investigate the historical, psychological andsocio-cultural complexities of this narrative. It willconsider how Yaxley-Lennon uses populist discourses toframe and contest British working-class values, and thechallenges faced in refuting his politics of fear,nationalism and division. It will use a purposive samplingstrategy to select a range of multimodal media texts frommainstream and alternative media, conducting aqualitative CDS analysis of competing narratives, texts,genres and discourses. A snowballing strategy will beused to identify supporters of Yaxley-Lennon that identifyas 'working class', with media texts from the first stage ofanalysis used as prompts to explore interpretations. Thestudy aims to better understand the complexpsychological and affective mechanisms that arecontributing to the growing acceptance of radical rightdiscourses and the increasing popularity of figures suchas 'Tommy Robinson'.
