Dieser Artikel hat als Ziel, die Rolle der Flüchtlingskrise im Wiener Wahlkampf 2015 auf Facebook zu analysieren. Die Wahlen fanden auf dem Höhepunkt der Krise statt, als hunderttausende Schutzsuchende, hauptsächlich aus Syrien, die europäischen Grenzen überquerten. Die Situation verwandelte Österreich über Nacht in das wichtigste Transitland nach Westeuropa und rückte Wien in den Brennpunkt des Geschehens. Auf Basis des Agenda-Building-Ansatzes und des Begriffs von Problematisierung von Habermas wurden alle Posts auf den Facebook-Seiten der fünf Parteien des Wiener Gemeindesrates und ihrer SpitzenkandidatInnen während der letzten vier Wochen im Wahlkampf einer Inhaltsanalyse unterzogen (n = 935). Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Interaktionen der NutzerInnen nicht auf die Thematisierung, sondern auf die Definition von Flüchtlingen als Problem zurückzuführen sind. Polarisierung und nicht Zustimmung führte dazu, dass das Flüchtlingsthema den Wahlkampf dominierte.... view less

The election took place at the peak of the refugee crisis, when many thousands of people fleeing conflict regions, particularly Syria, crossed European borders in search for international protection. The situation transformed Austria into the most important transit country in Western Europe, with its capital Vienna becoming a key focal point. Based on the agenda-building approach and Habermas’ concept of problematization, all posts on the Facebook accounts of the five parties in the Viennese Parliament and their top candidates during the four weeks before election were submitted to a content analysis (n = 935). Outcomes show that the interaction of users determined the role of the refugees issue in the Vienna election campaign on Facebook. This interaction did not follow thematization, but rather the definition of refugees as a problem. Furthermore, the issue was able to dominate the election campaign not by gathering consensus against refugees, but by polarizing the debate between users.... view less
