This article examines representations of the poor across three genres – the government’s Bulletin on Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction, online news and online user comments – during the period that immediately followed the expiration of the first Serbian Poverty Reduction Strategy (2010–2012). The results show differences in the actors’ representation, and in attribution of causal and treatment responsibility. The Bulletin is characterised by the discourse of social inclusion, activation and responsibilisation of the poor. This discourse does not reach the news, which portrays the poor as passive beneficiaries of the government actions, as individuals in extreme poverty, and as the agentic working poor protesting for wages. In the online user comments, poverty is articulated as the personal experience of the commenters. The news discourse of state responsibility is echoed in the comments sections and further recontextualised into the discourse of political responsibility.

跨体裁的贫困话语：塞尔维亚转型背景下穷人的竞争性表现

本文考察了在第一个塞尔维亚减贫战略（2010-2012 年）到期后的时期内，三种类型的穷人的表现——政府关于社会包容和减贫的公报、在线新闻和在线用户评论。结果显示了行动者的代表性以及因果关系和治疗责任的归属方面的差异。该公报的特点是关于穷人的社会包容、激活和责任的论述。这种话语没有到达新闻，它将穷人描绘成政府行为的被动受益者，极端贫困的个人，以及抗议工资的代理工作穷人。在线用户评论中，贫困被表述为评论者的个人经历。
