Although Norwegian and Japanese fishermen killed almost identical numbers of whales in the last two decades, they were subject to a largely uneven attention from the international community. While Japan was significantly shamed by all actors, the attention on Norwegian whalers was much smaller. Why is that? The article first conceptualizes the gaps in contemporary shaming literature and shows that whereas lots has been written on why and how states shame, much less has been written about why some actors are shamed more and some less. To remedy that, it then adopts post-structural theoretical position and the methodology of discourse analysis to deconstruct anti-whaling campaigns against Japan and Norway. The analysis shows that whereas Japanese culture was often depicted as cruel and barbarous, and its science as faulty and illegitimate, Norway was largely spared of this discourse. I argue that this difference can be ascribed to differing identities between the Euro-American anti-whaling camp and Japan.

为什么日本比挪威更因捕鲸而感到羞耻?国际社会及其野蛮人

尽管在过去的二十年里,挪威和日本的渔民捕杀的鲸鱼数量几乎相同,但它们受到国际社会的关注却大相径庭。尽管所有参与者都对日本感到羞耻,但对挪威捕鲸者的关注却要小得多。这是为什么?这篇文章首先概念化了当代羞辱文学中的空白,并表明虽然已经写了很多关于为什么以及如何表示羞耻的文章,但关于为什么一些演员越来越少地被羞辱的文章却很少。为了弥补这一点,它采用后结构理论立场和话语分析方法来解构针对日本和挪威的反捕鲸运动。分析表明,虽然日本文化经常被描述为残酷和野蛮,其科学被描述为错误和非法,挪威在很大程度上没有受到这种话语的影响。我认为,这种差异可以归因于欧美反捕鲸阵营和日本之间的不同身份。
