Germany is facing a contemporary mainstreaming of the far right, which has a long tradition of wanting “Turks out!” Turkish immigrants have been the main strangers in Germany following the guest-worker treaty signed in 1961, physically close as friends, yet culturally distant as foes. From September 2015 onwards, German–Turkish politics of belonging, the Turkish issue, underwent a contentious period resulting in secessions between German and Turkish authorities in September 2017. Against this background, this article asks: How did mainstream political actors in Germany emplot the Turkish issue while a far-right challenger party sought to establish a far-right narrative of ethno-national rebirth? The temporal unfolding of the Turkish issue is explored by drawing on media analysis (n = 1120), interpretive process-tracing and narrative genre analysis of claims raised by political actors in German and Turkish newspapers. In order to visualize how the Turkish issue evolved between 2000 and 2017 in media discourse, 546 articles in the mainstream quality newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung were collected. The Great Secession period between 2015 and 2017 was selected for an in-depth case study. To conduct interpretive process-tracing and narrative genre analysis of this case, another 574 articles in the German Suddeutsche Zeitung and Turkish Hurriyet were analysed. In so doing, this article contributes to (1) the study of belonging and identity by adopting a novel approach to boundary studies, combining narrative genre analysis with Habermas’ communicative action theory, and (2) the study of political strategies of adapting, ignoring or demarcating far-right contenders by, again, introducing a narrative approach to political communication and mobilization processes. The analysis shows that, in the first stage of the Great Secession period, inclusionary and exclusionary boundaries competed, while in later stages inclusionary boundaries were cast aside by exclusionary boundaries after reputable mainstream party-political actors adopted and thus legitimized far-right story elements.

大分裂国家:民族复兴与土耳其-德国人所属的政治

德国正面临着极右翼的当代主流化,该国有着悠久的传统,要求“土耳其人!” 自1961年签署《客工条约》以来,土耳其移民一直是德国的主要陌生人,他们在身体上像朋友一样亲密,但在文化上却像敌人一样遥远。从2015年9月开始,德土两国的归属政治土耳其问题经历了一个有争议的时期,导致德国和土耳其当局于2017年9月分裂。在此背景下,本文提出了一个问题:德国主流政治角色如何促使土耳其人一个极右的挑战者党试图建立一个关于民族民族重生的极右叙事的问题?通过媒体分析(n = 1120)探索了土耳其问题在时间上的发展,对德国和土耳其报纸上政治人物提出的主张进行解释性的过程追踪和叙事体裁分析。为了可视化土耳其问题在2000年至2017年之间在媒体话语中的演变,在主流质量报纸Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung上收集了546条文章。选择2015年至2017年之间的大分裂国家进行深入的案例研究。为了对此案例进行解释性的过程追踪和叙事体裁分析,还对德国Suddeutsche Zeitung和Turkish Hurriyet中的另外574篇文章进行了分析。这样做,本文有助于(1)通过采用一种新颖的边界研究方法,将叙事体裁分析与哈贝马斯(Habermas)的交往行动理论相结合,来研究归属和身份,以及(2)研究适应政治策略,通过在政治传播和动员过程中引入叙事方法来忽略或划分极右派竞争者。分析表明,在大分裂时期的第一阶段,包容性和排斥性边界竞争,而在后来的阶段中,在采用著名的主流政党政治角色并合法化极右故事元素之后,包容性边界被排斥性边界抛弃。
