Abstract: Social integration is a contested concept that has been defined in various ways by different stakeholders. Drawing on research with Australian Muslim leaders, we argue that social integration can be usefully conceptualised as both a process of normalisation and the end product of this process. In this paper, we first discuss the identity aspect of social integration and then outline the discursive strategies the Muslim leaders utilise in their attempts to achieve the goal of being viewed as normal Australians. We illustrate how the leaders exercise agency in challenging dominant negative discourses, which assign to them a stigmatised position in Australia. The empirical evidence comes from 30 interviews conducted in Melbourne and Sydney in 2010 and 2011 with prominent Australian Muslim leaders. 摘要：社会融合（整合）是一个有争议的概念，不同利益相关者用各种方式定义。通过对澳大利亚穆斯林领导人的研究，我们认为社会融合可以有益地概念化为规范化的进程和这一进程的最终产物。在本文中，我们首先讨论社会融合的身份方面，然后再概述穆斯林领导人利用试图实现被视为规范的澳大利亚人的目标的话语策略。我们举例说明，这些领导人怎样行使力量以挑战具有主导性的负面话语，这些负面话语将澳大利亚中的穆斯林置于低人一等的位置。实证证据来自30个访谈，这些访谈涉及墨尔本和悉尼2010年和2011年著名的澳大利亚穆斯林领袖。 作者： Sohrabi, Hadi; Farquharson, Karen 来源：ETHNICITIES 卷: 15期: 5页: 633-651 出版年: OCT 2015 (责任编辑：admin) |
