Dini Motifli Terör Söylemi (Deaş Örneği)

Abstract

Her ne kadar fiziki olarak etkisini yitirse de, Deaş terör örgütünün insangücü üzerindeki etkisi merak konusu olmaya devam etmektedir. Bu çerçevede yapılan çalışmada, Dini Motifli Terör Söylemi’nin Deaş terör örgütü örneğinde tanımlanması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada, Deaş’ın çıkarmış olduğu Dabık ve Roma dergileri içerik, tema ve söylem analizi tekniği ile incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak; Deaş’ın söylemini birbirini şekillendiren ve bütünleştiren temalar üzerine kurduğu, söylemin oluşumundaki temaların (hakikat arayışı, kutsal savaş, birlik, topluluk, göç, devlet başkanı, Müslüman toplum, yönetim) bir sebep ve sonuç döngüsü içerisinde birbirine bağlantılı olduğu görülmüştür. Olayların kurgusal tasviri, anlatılarda ideolojik ayrılık ve gri bölgenin bulunmaması, önermelerde ikili karşıtlıklar, ilahi anlatım, şiddetin görselleştirilmesi, aşağılanmaya ilişkin intikam söylemi, grup üyelerinin motivasyonu ve grup içi jargonunun kullanımına yönelik temalar dini motifli terör söyleminin temel özelliklerini oluşturmaktadır.

Religiously Motivated Terror Discourse (Daesh Case)

Abstract

Although Daesh has lost its effect physically, its influence on manpower remains a matter of curiosity. The aim of this article is to define ‘Religiously Motivated Terror Discourse’ on Daesh terror organization case. Daesh’s online magazines, Dabıq and Rumiyah, are analyzed by content, thematic and discourse analysis. The analysis displays that Daesh constructs its discourse on the main themes (manhaj, jihad, tawhid, jama’ah, hijrah, imamah, ummah, khalifah) which prefigure and integrate each other. Themes are linked to form a cause and consequence cycle in the construction of this discourse. Fictitious description of events, ideological separation in narratives, binary opposing themes in propositions, absence of gray zone in narratives, divine narratives, brutal imagery in visuals, discourse on the vengeance of humiliation, the motivation of group members, and use of inner group jargon are the main characteristics of this discourse.

Keywords
