Politicisation as a Speech Act: A Repertoire for Analysing Politicisation in Parliamentary Plenary Debates
摘要
As a speech act, politicisation marks a change in relation to politics. Politicisation means a break with a stable order of a polity and opens up a spectrum of opportunities for politicking. In this sense, other ‘ise’-type nouns, such as democratisation, parliamentarisation, and Europeanisation, can also be used as opportunities to politicise. This requires an interpretation of the new possibilities in the situation, as well as a response to the potential change(s) inherent in these possibilities. Moments of politicisation can be related to what has already happened, is still ongoing, or is projected to take place.
