摘要
把趋近化理论应用于非传统安全话语分析,运用“空间-时间-价值”模型,批评分析特朗普政府能源安全话语的趋近化策略。研究发现,在空间趋近化上,特朗普政府将民主党及俄罗斯、伊朗、中国等与美国存在能源利益冲突的国家定位为消极的外部实体;在时间趋近化上,主要运用从过去到现在的概念转移,强调外部主体的入侵行为,且利用各种时态塑造这一行为的延续性;价值趋近化上,主要运用内部和外部主体意识形态对抗手段,强调冲突加剧会引发现实危险。三维趋近化策略旨在唤起美国民众对能源威胁的迫近感,为其能源新政寻找合法化理据。特朗普政府基本上沿用政治安全化传统建构“能源安全”概念,把本来未必引发危险的方面或要素进行风险夸大化建构。从本质上说,特朗普的能源安全话语并未真正触及该概念的常规核心要义如能源使用安全、能源消费安全等内涵,至多只强调了能源供应安全,而且也只是在经济或社会治理意义上提及其能源新政的安全意义与价值。通过论证趋近化理论对非传统安全话语的阐释力,为深入解读安全相关话语提供有效借鉴。
Applying proximization theory to non-traditional security discourse, this paper makes a critical analysis on the STA model over the proximization strategies by Trump in his speeches on energy security. It is found that on spatial axis, Trump identifies the Democratic Party and other countries that have conflicts with the United States, including Russia, Iran and China, as negative ODC. On temporal axis, he adopts past-to-present temporal shift to construct the imminent invasiveness of ODC. In addition, tenses serve as linguistic means to construct the extension of ODC’s invasion. In terms of the axiological proximization, ideological confrontation between IDC and ODC is highlighted, suggesting that its intensification is bound to yield dangers in reality. These proximization strategies are fully adopted to arouse American people’s fear of the imminent energy threats and enhance the legitimacy of Trump’s new energy policy. In line with the traditional practice of political securitization, Trump securitizes energy by exaggerating the latent risks that might not cause dangers. In essence, Trump leaves intact the controversial definition of energy security, such as the security of energy use and consumption. He simply attaches the importance to energy supply security and emphasizes its significance to his new energy policy in terms of economic or social governance. The present study illustrates the strong explanatory power of the proximization theory to non-traditional security discourse and paves way for in-depth interpretation of security discourse.
