Abstract

This article takes a magazine for Esperanto youth as an entryway to explore the links between language ideologies and censorial practices. During the Cold War, Esperanto print media sought a connection with the Third World to present Esperanto as an alternative to US-led English and USSR-led Russian. With anti-imperialism gaining ground in these magazines, their editors struggled to adhere to the ideology that posits Esperanto as a neutral and international language. Analyzing the editorial work behind the magazine Kontakto, I explore how partly silencing anti-colonial perspectives worked to safeguard Esperanto's neutrality, ultimately asking: how can language ideologies act as mechanisms of censorship?

中和政治:冷战时期世界语青年媒体中的语言意识形态审查制度
本文以世界语青年杂志为切入点,探讨语言意识形态与审查实践之间的联系。冷战期间,世界语印刷媒体寻求与第三世界的联系,将世界语作为美国主导的英语和苏联主导的俄语的替代语言。随着反帝国主义在这些杂志中占据一席之地,其编辑们努力坚持将世界语定位为一种中立的国际语言的意识形态。通过分析《Kontakto》杂志背后的编辑工作,我探讨了部分压制反殖民主义观点是如何维护世界语的中立性的,最终提出了这样一个问题:语言意识形态如何充当审查机制?
