Abstract:

The socio-discursive landscape surrounding the migration debate is
characterised by a growing sense of crisis in both personal and collective
identities. From this viewpoint, discourses about immigration are also always
attempts at reconstructing the threatened ‘home identity’ of the respective
host society. It is such attempts at reasserting identity-in-crisis (due to
migration) that are the focus of the volume "Migration and Media: Discourses
about identities in crisis". This four-part book explores the representational
strategies used to frame current migration debates as crises of identity,
collective and individual. It features fourteen case-studies of varying sets
of data including print media texts, TV broadcasts, online forums,
politicians’ speeches, legal and administrative texts, and oral narratives,
drawn from discourses in a range of languages – Croatian, English, French,
German, Greek, Italian, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian,
Spanish, and Ukrainian – , and it employs different discourse-analytical
methods, such as Argumentation and Metaphor Analysis, Gendered Language
Studies, Corpus-assisted Semantics and Pragmatics, and Proximization Theory.
Such a diverse range of sources, languages, and approaches provides innovative
methodological and theoretical analysis on migration and identity which will
be of interest to scholars, students, and policy makers working in the fields
of migration studies, media studies, identity studies, and social and public
policy.
