Мој појам је у том контексту исправно употребљен. Некада се олако користи, али у овом случају реч је о ставовима који се могу описати као аутошовинистички.
Treba popularizovati i pojam oikofobije: autošovinizam je već klasifikovan kao oikofobija i u psihijatriji (psihijatrijski poremećaj nije isto što i autošovinizam), ali i u psihologiji i u sociologiji/politikologiji (klasični opisi pojave autošovinizma postoje od još od XIX veka).
Autošovinizam kao popularni pojam može da se recimo koristi u kontekstu politike, ali uz obavezno navođenje da je to već poznato i psihologiji.
Da neki klinićki slučajevi ne bi i dalje mantrali o “normalnosti”:
Engleski filozof Rodžer Skroton je opisao britanski
autošovinizam i definisao ga kao “odbacivanje (svog) (kulturnog) nasleđa i svog doma”.
In his 2004 book England and the Need for Nations, British philosopher Roger Scruton adapted the word to mean "the repudiation of inheritance and home".
Inače. on posmatra i hroničnu “političku korektnost” na američkim univerzitetima kao manifestaciju autošovinizma:
An extreme aversion to the sacred, and the thwarting of the connection of the sacred to the culture of the West is described as the underlying motif of oikophobia; and not the substitution of Christianity by another coherent system of belief. The paradox of the oikophobe seems to be that any opposition directed at the theological and cultural tradition of the West is to be encouraged even if it is "significantly more parochial, exclusivist, patriarchal, and ethnocentric."[11]: 78 Scruton describes "a chronic form of oikophobia [which] has spread through the American universities, in the guise of political correctness."[7]: 37
Oikophobia (Greek: oîkos, 'house, household' + phóbos, 'fear'; related to domatophobia and ecophobia) is an aversion to a home environment, or an abnormal fear (phobia) of one's home and also a tendency to criticize or reject one's own culture and praise other cultures. Oikophobia. Other names. Domatophobia
The term has been used in political contexts to refer critically to political ideologies that are held to repudiate one's own culture and laud others. One prominent such usage was by Roger Scruton in his 2004 book England and the Need for Nations.
In 1808,
poet and
essayist Robert Southeyused the word to describe a desire (particularly by the
English) to leave home and travel.
[5] Southey's usage as a synonym for
wanderlust was picked up by other 19th-century writers.
Political usage
In his 2004 book
England and the Need for Nations, British philosopher
Roger Scruton adapted the word to mean "
the repudiation of inheritance and home".
[7] He argues that it is "a stage through which the
adolescentmind normally passes",
[8] but that it is a feature of some, typically
leftist, political impulses and ideologies that espouse
xenophilia, i.e. preference for foreign cultures.
[9]
Scruton uses the term as the
antithesis of
xenophobia.
[10] In his book,
Roger Scruton: Philosopher on Dover Beach,
Mark Dooley describes
oikophobia as centered within the Western
academic establishment on "both the common
culture of the West, and the old educational
curriculum that sought to transmit its humane values." This disposition has grown out of, for example, the writings of
Jacques Derrida and of
Michel Foucault's "assault on '
bourgeois' society result[ing] in an '
anti-culture' that took direct aim at holy and
sacred things, condemning and repudiating them as
oppressive and power-ridden."
[11]: 78 He continues:
[11]: 83
Derrida is a classic oikophobe in so far as he repudiates the longing for home that the Western theological, legal, and literary traditions satisfy ... Derrida's deconstructionseeks to block the path to this 'core experience' of membership, preferring instead a rootless existence founded 'upon nothing.'
An extreme aversion to the sacred, and the thwarting of the connection of the sacred to the culture of the West is described as the underlying
motif of oikophobia; and not the substitution of
Christianity by another coherent system of belief. The
paradox of the oikophobe seems to be that any opposition directed at the
theological and cultural
tradition of the West is to be encouraged even if it is "significantly more
parochial,
exclusivist,
patriarchal, and
ethnocentric."
[11]: 78 Scruton describes "a chronic form of oikophobia [which] has spread through the
American universities, in the guise of
political correctness."
[7]: 37
Scruton's usage has been taken up by some U.S.
political commentators to refer to what they see as a rejection of traditional
U.S. culture by the
liberal elite. In August 2010,
James Taranto wrote a column in the
Wall Street Journal entitled "Oikophobia: Why the liberal elite finds Americans revolting", in which he criticizes supporters of the proposed
Islamic center in New York as oikophobes who were defending
Muslimsand aimed to "exploit the
9/11 atrocity."
[12]
In the
Netherlands, the term
oikophobia has been adopted by politician and writer
Thierry Baudet, which he describes in his book,
Oikophobia: The Fear of Home.
