本文試圖解釋在奧巴馬政府面臨的危機(jī)中,國(guó)家敘事的重要性和發(fā)揮的作用。本文首先要探討的一個(gè)基礎(chǔ)問(wèn)題就是,敘事對(duì)于國(guó)家身份具有何種含義,以及當(dāng)屆政府可以通過(guò)何種方式來(lái)運(yùn)用敘事,尤其是在危機(jī)爆發(fā)之時(shí)。通過(guò)仔細(xì)考察2008年的金融危機(jī)和曠日持久的反恐戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng),本文著眼于奧巴馬政府在政策和論調(diào)上采取的反應(yīng)。論文將考慮奧巴馬政府治下,新的危機(jī)敘事由何構(gòu)成,以及新敘事角度的選定又可由哪些關(guān)鍵因素引導(dǎo)。帶著這些問(wèn)題,本文旨在探討面對(duì)危機(jī)時(shí)新國(guó)家身份敘事的緣起和設(shè)定,并進(jìn)一步了解奧巴馬的政治修辭之術(shù)。本文的研究結(jié)果支持了學(xué)術(shù)界關(guān)于民族敘事的一般結(jié)論,即國(guó)家敘事一直以來(lái)并且將繼續(xù)被政治精英們?yōu)榱瞬煌哪康?以不同的方式使用和操縱。不變的是,它與國(guó)家構(gòu)建有著內(nèi)在的固有聯(lián)系。尤其是在在危機(jī)時(shí)期,團(tuán)結(jié)民族共同體的話語(yǔ)變得格外響亮。通過(guò)引用某些公民價(jià)值(進(jìn)步主義)和基于身份的特質(zhì)(例外主義),奧巴馬政府創(chuàng)建了自己的危機(jī)敘事,以捍衛(wèi)他的務(wù)實(shí)的進(jìn)步政策做法。這些用來(lái)指導(dǎo)美國(guó)在危機(jī)時(shí)期應(yīng)如何行事的敘事取材自建國(guó)以來(lái)總統(tǒng)所延續(xù)使用的美國(guó)公民傳統(tǒng)。因此,這些敘事/故事并非旨在定義而是在捍衛(wèi)何為美國(guó)。敘述者為了迎合自己所偏愛的政策...
