Description
Summary:The aim of this article is to analyze the religious discourse on Polish Facebook in relation to the refugee crisis. The primary focus is on how religious memory is presented. A discourse analysis implemented by the author helps to identify and examine certain nodal points related to the religious debate about refugees, and then instruments used to recall religious memory are shown. In the course of the analysis, the author uses the theory of religion as a chain of memory. As a result, a complex attitude of Polish users toward the Pope, Islam, Christian martyrdom and religious buildings is shown. All of them refer to religious traces from the past.
L'objectif de cet article est d'analyser le discours religieux sur la crise des réfugiés en Pologne sur Facebook. L'attention porte principalement sur la manière dont la mémoire religieuse est représentée. L'analyse du discours proposée par l'auteur permet d'identifier et d'examiner certains points nodaux liés aux débats religieux sur les réfugiés, avant de mettre en lumière les outils utilisés pour activer la mémoire religieuse. Au cours de l'analyse, l'auteur utilise la théorie de la religion comme chaine mémorielle. Il en ressort une attitude complexe des usagers polonais de Facebook vis-à-vis du Pape, de l'islam, du martyre chrétien et des bâtiments religieux. Tous se réfèrent à des traces religieuses du passé.
