The pandemic of nationalism and the nationalism of pandemics

The pandemic of nationalism and the nationalism of pandemics

Abstract

Das Coronavirus breitet sich zur Zeit aus und fordert seinen Tribut weltweit. Zwar ist COVID-19 nun zu einer globa-len Pandemie angewachsen, doch wird ihm häufig mit national(istisch)en Reaktionen begegnet. Viele Staaten ver-folgen eine isolationistische Politik; sie schließen und verstärken ihre Grenzen und konzentrieren sich in diesem Mo-ment der Krise ganz auf ihr eigenes Funktionieren. Diese nationale bzw. nationalistisch orientierte Politik des Re-bordering geht Hand in Hand mit etwas, das als sprachliches Rebordering bezeichnet werden könnte, d. h. Versuche, die Krankheit als etwas Fremdes und Importiertes zu konstruieren, und so die Schuld daran dem „Anderen“ zuzu-weisen. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, die Verflechtungen dieser geopolitischen und sprachlichen/diskursiven Politik des Rebordering aufzudecken. Ihre Wirksamkeit wird in Frage gestellt und es wird für eine grenzüberschreitende Solidarität plädiert.

Actuellement, le coronavirus se propage partout et secoue le monde entier. Bien qu’ayant pris la dimension d’une pandémie mondiale, le COVID-19 suscite souvent des réactions national(ist)es. De nombreux États poursuivent des politiques isolationnistes, fermant et renforçant leurs frontières, et se concentrant entièrement sur leur propre fonctionnement en ce moment de crise. Cette politique nationale, voire nationaliste, va de pair avec ce que l’on pourrait appeler Rebordering linguistique, c'est-à-dire la tentative de construire la maladie comme étant le produit de quelque chose d'étranger, la faute étant, par conséquent, à rejeter sur l’ « Autre ». L'objectif de cet article est de mettre en lumière les imbrications de cette politique géopolitique et linguistique/discursive de Rebordering. L’article s'interroge sur l’efficacité de cette dernière et plaide pour une solidarité transfrontalière.

In current times, the coronavirus is spreading and taking its toll all over the world. Inspite of having developed into a global pandemic, COVID-19 is oftentimes met with local national(ist) reactions. Many states pursue isolationist politics by closing and enforcing borders and by focusing entirely on their own functioning in this moment of crisis. This nationalist/nationally-oriented rebordering politics goes hand in hand with what might be termed linguistic re-bordering, i.e. the attempts of constructing the disease as something foreign-grown and by apportioning the blame to ‘the other.’ This paper aims at laying bare the interconnectedness of these geopolitical and linguistic/discursive re-bordering politics. It questions their efficacy and makes a plea for cross-border solidarity.
