Abstract

Kako percipiramo pripadnike drugih kultura? Čini se da je danas sve manje razumijevanja prema ljudima koji prakticiraju drugačiju religiju, kulturu i način življenja. Europa je suočena s ozbiljnom društvenom krizom pod čime se prvenstveno misli na diskriminaciju pripadnika islamske vjeroispovijesti. Ljudi imaju negativan stav prema muslimanima jer ih doživljavaju kao realnu prijetnju. To je jedan od čimbenika koji je utjecao na nastanak orijentalizma desnog populizma u Europi, koji je između ostalog nastao politizacijom islamske religije. Islam, kao religija, u većoj mjeri nego ikad, postao je političko pitanje za Europljane. Politički akteri dodatno iskorištavaju migrantsku krizu kako bi probudili „jeftine” osjećaje pripadnosti kod ljudi s namjerom da dobiju njihove glasove i potporu. Radi se o populističkim porukama koje su u današnje vrijeme sve prisutnije. Isto tako, stvorio se i kontra-narativ: okcidentalizam islamista. I u ovom narativu pronalazimo iznimno populističke poruke koje su usmjerene protiv Zapada. U oba diskursa prisutan je strah od Drugoga. Promatranjem ova dva različita narativa, političkih stranaka i stavova političkih aktera i birača, rad prikazuje sličnosti između orijentalizma i okcidentalizma.

Abstract (english)

How do we perceive members of other cultures? It seems like today there is less and less understanding towards people who practice a different religion, culture and lifestyle. Europe is facing a serious social crisis, which primarily refers to discrimination against members of the Islamic religion. People have a negative attitude towards Muslims because they see them as an actual threat. This is one of the factors that influenced the emergence of the orientalism of rightwing populism in Europe, which, among other things, was created by the politicization of the Islamic religion. Islam, as a religion, has become more than ever a political issue for Europeans. Political actors additionally take advantage of the migrant crisis to awaken "cheap" feelings of belonging in people with the intention of getting their votes and support. It’s about populist messages that are increasingly present nowadays. Likewise, a counter-narrative was created: Islamist Westernism. In this narrative, we find extreme populist messages that are directed against the West. Fear of the Other is present in both discourses. By observing these two different narratives, political parties and attitudes of political actors and voters, the thesis shows the similarities between Orientalism and Occidentalism.
