The “Ibiza affair,” a succession of scandals triggered by undercover recordings of the FPÖ's former head, Heinz-Christian Strache, in compromising discussions with a purported Russian oligarch's niece has profoundly altered Austria's political landscape and public debates. This article offers a historically contextualized analysis of the multiple voices and competing truth claims articulated by diverse actors in the course of the scandal's fallout. Empirically, this discussion offers a systematic analysis of political and media discourses focused on “Ibiza” between May 2019 and June 2020. Conceptually, the argument builds on Michel Foucault's approach outlined in I, Pierre Rivière and its subsequent applications within nationalism studies. This analysis thus examines data through the questions as to who speaks about the event in question, how they do so, what is being claimed and disputed, and which political strategies and trajectories this enables. The competing, partly shifting positions revealed are the following: Strache's initial regret that soon turned to a self-ascribed “victim-cum-martyr” status; the FPÖ's distancing and eventual rupture from its long-standing Bundesparteiobmann; the Kronen Zeitung's attempted ideological repositioning; the ÖVP's need and opportunity to shift its positions vis-à-vis its political competitors; and critical voices calling for far-reaching structural changes. With the full facts behind the scandal still to be established, the (post-Foucauldian) approach applied here captures the contestations, (new) fault lines, and (shifting) political boundaries constitutive of a discursive field in a crisis context.

“ Ibizagate”:在助焊剂中占领政治领域

“伊维萨岛事件”是一连串的丑闻,由FPÖ的前任负责人海因茨-克里斯蒂安·斯特拉奇(Heinz-Christian Strache)的秘密记录引发,在与所谓的俄罗斯寡头侄女的讨论陷入妥协后,极大地改变了奥地利的政治格局和公开辩论。本文提供了在丑闻的影响过程中,由不同参与者阐明的多种声音和相互竞争的真理主张的历史背景分析。从经验上讲,该讨论提供了对在2019年5月至2020年6月期间针对“伊维萨岛”的政治和媒体报道的系统分析。从概念上讲,该论点建立在米歇尔·福柯在《我,皮埃尔·里维耶尔》中概述的方法及其随后在民族主义研究中的应用。谁在谈论有关事件,如何处理主张和争议的内容以及能够实现的政治策略和轨道。所揭示的相互竞争,部分变化的立场如下:斯特拉奇最初的遗憾,很快就变成了自封为“受害者暨烈士”的状态;FPÖ与其长期存在的联邦议院(Bundesparteiobmann)之间的疏远和最终破裂;在皇冠报试图进行思想上的重新定位;ÖVP的需求和机会,以相对于其政治竞争对手改变立场;和呼吁广泛的结构性变化的批评声音。由于丑闻背后的全部事实仍有待确定,此处采用的(后富国主义)方法抓住了危机背景下话语领域的竞争,(新的)断层线和(不断变化的)政治边界。
