ABSTRACT

Existing ideational approaches to nativism tend to conflate the concept with nationalism, xenophobia and populism, as well as overlooking the role of racism and racialisation in the process of constructing the non-native ‘out-group’, against the native ‘in-group’. Inspired by the Discourse Theoretical approach to populism, this article offers a significant conceptual contribution to studies on the far right by interpreting nativism as a racist and xenophobic discourse structured around an exclusionary vision of the nation. This conceptualisation helps identify how xenophobia, nationalism, racism and racialisation all contribute to nativist discourse, how nativism can be clearly demarcated from populism, and how nativist arguments can be articulated by parties beyond the far right.

摘要

现有的本土主义观念方法往往将这一概念与民族主义、仇外心理和民粹主义混为一谈，并忽视了种族主义和种族化在构建非本土“外群体”与本土“内群体”的过程中的作用. 受民粹主义话语理论方法的启发，本文通过将本土主义解释为围绕民族排他性愿景构建的种族主义和仇外话语，为极右翼研究提供了重要的概念贡献。这种概念化有助于确定仇外心理、民族主义、种族主义和种族化是如何促成本土主义话语的，本土主义如何与民粹主义明确区分开来，以及本土主义论点如何被极右翼以外的政党所表达。
