摘要

全球限制气候变化的努力能否成功,部分取决于公众是否支持气候活动团体的要求。我们通过对 20 篇关于气候活动家的 MailOnline 文章的 628 条在线评论进行主题分析,研究了社会表征和身份认同过程在形成气候活动家反对意见中的作用。评论社区的成员将气候活动家描述为不道德、无能、对社会价值低的意识形态他者。评论者将对活动家的负面描述与他们自己的共同身份--勤劳、有道德、有能力--的建构进行了对比。这些建构的目的是削弱积极分子的声音并使其非法化,同时推进植根于意识形态和阶级关切的政治项目。未来的研究可能会探索通过对积极分子身份进行竞争性表述来吸引更广泛支持的可能性。我们的研究说明了共同关注社会表征和社会认同过程对于理解基于问题的社会两极分化的价值。

Construction and contestation of climate activist identities in the comments section of a large UK-based online newspaper

Success of global attempts to limit climate change depends partly upon public support for demands of climate activist groups. We examined the role of social representation and identity processes in shaping opposition to climate activism, through a discursive thematic analysis of 628 online comments on 20 MailOnline articles about climate activists. Members of the commenting community propagated representations of climate activists as an immoral and incompetent, low-value to society, ideological Other. Commenters contrasted negative representations of activists with constructions of their own shared identity as hardworking, moral and competent. These constructions serve to undermine and delegitimize the activist voice, while simultaneously advancing a political project rooted in ideological and class-based concerns. Future research might explore the possibility of engaging wider support through generating competing representations of activist identity. Our research illustrates the value of jointly focusing on social representations and social identity processes for understanding issue-based societal polarisation.
