„Besorgte Bürger*innen“ grenzen sich in ihrem Selbstverständnis davon ab, rechtsextreme Orientierungen aufzuweisen. Das Ziel der folgenden Analysen ist es, der Frage nach den tatsächlichen Motivlagen der „besorgten Bürger*innen“ genauer nachzugehen und die Rolle verfestigter rechtsextremer Weltbilder im Vergleich zu Protestmotiven zu beleuchten. Dazu werden empirische Befunde des Sachsen-Monitors 2018, der Mitte-Studien von 2016 und 2018 sowie Ergebnisse teilnehmender Beobachtungen von Pegida-Demonstrationen herangezogen. Die empirischen Analysen weisen aus, dass es sich bei den „besorgten Bürger*innen“ keineswegs um „normale Durchschnittsbürger*innen“ handelt – ihr Einstellungs-profil weicht deutlich von dem der übrigen Bevölkerung ab. Der Beitrag schließt mit Überlegungen, ob „Zuhören“ und „mit Rechten reden“ geeignete Mittel in der politischen Auseinandersetzung sind. Ferner wird die Frage diskutiert, inwieweit im Kontext des vorgelegten Forschungsdesigns Prozesse des „Othering“ die Ergebnisse beeinflussen könnten.
Tehran Bazaar has been the most influential marketplace in Iran, over the last two hundred years, since Tehran became the capital of the country. The Bazaar has been a significant socio-political agent in Iranian society. Nevertheless, less attention has been given to its internal atmosphere, where the bazaaris, have tried to conserve their traditions and preserve their heritage. One of these heritages are “hey’ats”, religious formations for holding mourning sessions in Muharram month, as a ritual in Shi’a Islam. “Hey’ats” give the guilds a sense of collective identity, they represent them, and also build a shared heritage for them.
The Drapers’ Guild was the first guild in Tehran Bazaar, founding a hey’at. They founded this hey’at in 1883 and named it “the Drapers’ Hey’at”. After the Islamic Revolution of 1979, the Drapers faced difficulties preserving their heritage. They were forced to displace the Mirza Mousa Mosque in the Bazaar. The Mosque was their center for holding religious sessions and was publicly known as “the Drapers’ Mosque”. Since they were attached to the Mosque, their displacement was perceived a loss of heritage. Later, they decided to build a new home, “the Drapers’ Hosseinieh”. They decided to implement the interior design of their lost Mosque in the new place. This strategy enabled them overcome “the traumatic experience of displacement and heritage loss.” Also, to safeguard their new place, they legally registered their hey’at as an institution, and they wrote a constitution for it. The attempts for modernization, led them to develop beneficiary activities, as well. In this research, a qualitative approach is applied, benefiting from multiple methodologies, including; ethnography, secondary sources, and visual methods. The researcher has attempted to outline the story of the Drapers in preserving their heritage. This study hopefully would be useful for similar traditional organizations, showing how continuity and heritage preservation are possible to achieve for communities having experienced a troubled past.
