ABSTRACT Between February 2002 and November 2018, Swedish politicians from the Centre, Christian Democrat, Moderate, Liberal and Sweden Democrat parties proposed policies to ban clothing variously referred to as the “burka,” “full-covering veil,” “face veil” and “niqab” (Arabic for face veil) at least 38 times, six at the national level and thirty-two at the municipal. Research suggests that circa 100 women in Sweden wear a “burka”; clearly these policy proposals have little to do with the burka’s prevalence. What, then, do these policy proposals attempt to govern? In this text we adopt feminist political scientist Carol Bacchi’s “what is the problem represented to be?” approach to analyse Swedish bills to regulate the burka. These policy proposals, we contend, have more to do with conceptualizing Swedishness than addressing an existing “problem” of women who wear burka.

瑞典的《布卡禁令》：政策提案，问题化和瑞典化的产物

摘要在2002年2月至2018年11月期间，来自该中心，基督教民主党，温和党，自由党和瑞典民主党的瑞典政客提出了各种政策，以取缔被称为``布卡''，``遮盖面纱''，``面纱''和“ niqab”（阿拉伯语为面纱）至少38次，在国家一级为6次，在市政级为32次。研究表明，瑞典约有100名妇女穿着“ burka”；显然，这些政策建议与burka的流行无关。那么，这些政策建议试图治理什么呢？在本文中，我们采用了女权政治学家卡罗尔·巴基（Carol Bacchi）的“问题代表什么？” 分析瑞典法案以调节Burka的方法。我们主张这些政策建议，
