  • Refugees, mad cows, and bone meal or why citizenship education should learn from the media : in place of introduction to the thematic block Citizenship education and political theory: Reflections in language
    Žagar, Igor Ž., 1960-
    In 1998, Marjeta Doupona Horvat, Jef Verschueren, and myself published a booklet The pragmatics of legitimation: The rhetoric of refugee policies in Slovenia. The book discusses an episode in Slovene ... public rhetoric, historically situated roughly as a one-year timespan from April 1992 to March 1993, and topically defined in terms of "refugee policies". The approach was apragmatic text analysis in a tradition of empirical ideology research, paying special attention to implicit aspects of meaning construction, in interaction or in contrast with explicitly voiced perspectives and with rhetorical goals and constraints. In the present paper, I would like to re-examine and re-interpret some of these eight years old data in the light of the latest "refugee crisis" that culminated in the first months of 2001. This time the "problem" weren't the Bosnians refugees who chose Slovenia as their final destination, but refugees from the former Soviet Union, Asia, Middle East and Africa, mostly seeking refuge and asylum in the West, and therefore using Slovenia only as a transit state. The aim of the paper is to show how their "identity" was (re)constructed in Slovenian media, to uncover implicit mechanisms (and techniques) behind these constructions, and thus offer some pragmatic concepts, tools, and approaches that can help citizenship education to think, re-think, and analyze our everyday life as it reflects in language.
