Abstract

This research examines the public discussion around animal production in Finland. Applying a dialogical approach to social representations theory, we elucidate the hotly debated nature of animal production by analysing news articles (N = 50) and the related reader-produced comments (N = 1501) in Finnish newspapers. We employed qualitative methods for analysing multivoicedness and dialogue to identify ego–alter pairs constructed in the material in relation to the object of animal production. Four prevalent ego–alter pairs were identified: advocates for animal rights–animal production defenders, producers–consumers, orthodox–unorthodox Christians and provincials–urban dwellers. The study contributes to the study of everyday knowledge by showing how various contradictory understandings of the same topic are generated in public discourse. The research also demonstrates how the theoretical concept of ego–alter embedded in the social representations theory can be empirically utilised in analysing debates in contemporary media environments and to shed light on the dialogical dynamics around the discussions.

原罪还是自然秩序?动物生产社会知识的对话建构
本研究探讨了芬兰公众围绕动物生产的讨论。我们运用社会表征理论的对话方法,通过分析芬兰报纸上的新闻报道(N = 50)和读者发表的相关评论(N = 1501),阐释了动物生产的激烈辩论性质。我们采用定性方法分析多语种性和对话,以确定材料中与动物生产对象相关的自我-变位对。我们确定了四对普遍存在的自我转换对:动物权利倡导者-动物生产维护者、生产者-消费者、正统-非正统基督徒以及外省人-城市居民。本研究通过展示公共话语中如何产生对同一话题的各种相互矛盾的理解,为日常知识研究做出了贡献。研究还展示了社会表征理论中的自我转换理论概念如何在分析当代媒体环境中的辩论时得到实证运用,并揭示围绕讨论的对话动态。
