摘要

後冷戰時期,新自由主義迫不及待地在全球擴張,造成了不
同區域的嚴重貧富不均,特別是發展中國家的貧窮問題。眼下有兩種明顯差異的意識形態話語益趨對立,分別為操持「反恐」的政治軍事話語與操持「反恐同」的西方LGBT 人權話語,西方則正是透過上述兩種話語權的爭奪而得以在政治與經濟的軸向上維繫自身的支配地位。本文試圖透過分析這種話語霸權底下「文明」與「援助」之間的矛盾,來探究西方如何一方面透過「反恐同」來為「反恐」取得正當性,另一方面卻貫徹了以人道之名實行侵略政策的手段,藉以維持世界霸權的位置。

Synopsis

The expansion of neo-liberalism has deepened the gap between wealth and poverty and brought poverty issues among developing countries during the Post-Cold War Era. Two distinct ideological narratives have evolved--the religious narrative of "anti-terrorism" and the LGBT-human-rights narrative of "antihomophobia"— to politically and economically strengthen the dominant position of the West over Third World countries. This article attempts to analyze two sets of contradictions, namely, the contradiction within "civilization"and the contradiction within "aid", to demonstrate how the discourse of "western LGBT
human rights", or "anti-homophobia," can bring forth political effects on the project of "anti-terrorism".
