This chapter explores how Otherness has been constructed in right-wing political discourses in Poland. Using critical discourse analysis, the authors examine how the former government, with previously ruling Law and Justice party (PiS), has framed people on-the-move at the Polish-Belarusian border, mainly from the Middle East and Africa, as a threat to the Polish nation and the EU. The chapter focuses on the interplay of ethnicity, religion and gender in shaping these narratives, noting that Poland's position as part of the European periphery and its history of emigration and immigration contribute to these dynamics. This chapter sheds light on the multifaceted processes underpinning the construction of Otherness through the right-wing political discourses.

摘要

This chapter explores how Otherness has been constructed in right-wing political discourses in Poland. Using critical discourse analysis, the authors examine how the former government, with previously ruling Law and Justice party (PiS), has framed people on-the-move at the Polish-Belarusian border, mainly from the Middle East and Africa, as a threat to the Polish nation and the EU. The chapter focuses on the interplay of ethnicity, religion and gender in shaping these narratives, noting that Poland's position as part of the European periphery and its history of emigration and immigration contribute to these dynamics. This chapter sheds light on the multifaceted processes underpinning the construction of Otherness through the right-wing political discourses.
