EUROCENTRIČNA ORIJENTALIZACIJA REVOLUCIJE U ROJAVI U SLUŽBI ONEMOGUĆAVANJA USPOSTAVE INTERNACIONALNE ANTIKAPITALISTIČKO-FEMINISTIČKE BORBE – Analiza medijske reprezentacije

Tijekom proteklih godina Revolucija u Rojavi postala je subjektom mnogih neadekvatnih prikaza ženske antikapitalističke borbe u zapadnom diskursu. Moguće je
reći da je revolucija u Rojavi prikazana na dva glavna načina čija je interakcija najočitija upravo na primjeru žena, njezinih sudionica. S jedne strane, ona postaje revolucijom stereotipnih ‘ljepotica s puškama’ koje pune naslovnice i svojom egzotičnom, no opet konvencionalnom ljepotom, pripisanom im docilnošću i nježnošću predstavljaju protutežu barbarizmu boraca Islamske države, dok rukovanjem oružjem odmiču od patrijarhalnih normi tek onoliko koliko je dovoljno za ispunjenje muške fantazije ‘žene ratnice’. S druge strane, ‘zapadni pogled’ ovaj nadasve inovativni sjeverno-sirijski društveni pokret reducira se na ‘egzotični eksperiment’ koji ne može biti prihvaćen kao ravnopravan civilizacijskim dosezima kapitalističkog zapada, ali i privilegiranom uvidu velikog dijela antikapitalističke (feminističke) ljevice koja unutar njegovih okvira djeluje. Razlog tome je zapadna orijentalizacija istočnih pokreta koja iste postavlja u okvir ‘neciviliziranih divljaka’, a žene pripadnice istih prikazuje kao submisivne žrtve koje nisu sposobne za vlastitu borbu bez vanjskih intervencija. Navedena shvaćanja otežavaju suradnju srodnih zapadnih i istočnih pokreta kao i internacionalno djelovanje, pritom olakšavajući održavanje postojećeg patrijarhalno-kapitalističkog statusa quo. Cilj ovog rada stoga jest pružiti kritički osvrt na popularne oblike prikazivanja revolucije u Rojavi, analizirati moduse eurocentrične percepcije kakvi se javljaju kod antikapitalističkih/feminističkih pokreta, ali i ponuditi
moguća adekvatna rješenja za ostvarenje ujedinjenog, internacionalnog djelovanja protiv zajedničkog neprijatelja – hijerarhijski uređenog patrijarhalno-kapitalističkog sistema unutar kojeg uspostava istinske društvene jednakosti nikad neće biti moguća.
