ABSTRACT Boko Haram videos are among the only windows into the group leadership’s ideology. However, previous studies of Boko Haram videos treated the group monolithically and neither distinguished between internal factions nor analyzed cinematographic settings in each faction’s videos. At a time when the two groups known as Boko Haram–Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) and Jamaat Ahlussunnah lid-Dawa wal-Jihad (JAS)–rival each other and combat Nigerian and subregional military forces, this article argues it is imperative to examine factions’ contrasting self-presentations in videos. While one faction led by Abu Musab al-Barnawi revealed combat skill and lectured about an Islamic state, another faction led by Abubakar Shekau revealed veneration of Shekau, masses of worshippers in group territories, and imposing sharia punishments. Even when these factions were nominally unified, they still produced media separately and competed to control communications to Islamic State. Another Boko Haram breakaway group called Ansaru also influenced Boko Haram videos after some members reintegrated into Abu Musab al-Barnawi’s faction. This article demonstrates how in jihadist groups the one wielding the camera also wields power and how jihadist videos can facilitate understanding a group’s internal dynamics.

尼日利亚博科圣地十年（2010-2020 年）的编年史：通过视频分析区分派系

摘要 博科圣地的视频是了解该组织领导层意识形态的唯一窗口之一。然而，之前对博科圣地视频的研究是整体处理该群体，既没有区分内部派系，也没有分析每个派系视频中的电影摄影设置。当被称为博科圣地-西非省伊斯兰国 (ISWAP) 和 Jamaat Ahlussunnah Lid-Dawa wal-Jihad (JAS) 的两个团体相互竞争并与尼日利亚和次区域军队作战时，本文认为这是必须检查视频中不同派系的自我表现。由 Abu Musab al-Barnawi 领导的一个派系展示了战斗技巧并就伊斯兰国家进行了演讲，而由 Abubakar Shekau 领导的另一个派系则透露了对 Shekau、​​群体领土上的大量信徒的崇拜，并实施了伊斯兰教法惩罚。即使这些派别名义上是统一的，他们仍然单独制作媒体并竞争控制与伊斯兰国的通信。在一些成员重新融入阿布·穆萨布·巴纳维的派系后，另一个名为 Ansaru 的博科圣地分离组织也影响了博科圣地的视频。本文展示了在圣战组织中，手持相机的人如何也拥有权力，以及圣战视频如何促进了解一个组织的内部动态。
