UNASSIGNED: The study, inspired by a critical discourse analytic approach, focused particularly on the issues addressed, subject positions, relations and rhetoric. Seventeen opinion articles published in Swedish national newspapers December 2019 - February 2022 were analysed.
UNASSIGNED: The main contents were threats to democracy, threats to the freedom and rights of specific groups, and threats to the debate itself. Contents were expressed through three discourse dichotomies: contribution vs interjection, documented vs alarmistic, and active on the stage vs commenting from the balcony.
UNASSIGNED: Striking about the results is the absence of dialogue, the one-way communication, and the absent politicians. It seems that the analysed debate on the challenges of the Swedish COVID-19 pandemic strategy, based on its impact on overall freedoms and rights, has not been the focus of decision-makers during the pandemic. They have neither addressed the threats highlighted in the articles, nor contributed to the discourse. This is worrying for the long-term maintenance and development of a healthy democracy.
■这项研究,受到批判性的话语分析方法的启发,特别关注解决的问题,主题位置,关系和修辞。分析了2019年12月至2022年2月在瑞典国家报纸上发表的17篇评论文章。
■主要内容是对民主的威胁,对特定群体的自由和权利的威胁,以及对辩论本身的威胁。内容通过三个话语二分法表达:贡献与感叹词,有记录的与悲观的,在舞台上活跃,在阳台上发表评论。
■引人注目的结果是没有对话,单向通信,缺席的政治家。似乎对瑞典COVID-19大流行战略挑战的分析辩论,基于其对整体自由和权利的影响,在大流行期间,决策者并不是重点。他们都没有解决文章中强调的威胁,也没有对演讲做出贡献。这对健康民主的长期维护和发展令人担忧。
