Di fronte a crisi e conflitti internazionali che ridefiniscono i movimenti migratori verso l’Europa, esaminare la rappresentazione delle migrazioni nei mezzi di comunicazione può essere di grande utilità per comprendere come i rischi per la sicurezza sono percepiti, valutati e messi in connessione nel discorso pubblico. L’autrice offre un contributo in questa direzione attraverso l’analisi del framing delle notizie della stampa italiana durante e dopo l’intervento internazionale in Libia (2011-2012). Pur se molteplici aspetti della relazione migrazioni-sicurezza coesistono nei media, l’analisi automatica del contenuto degli articoli di cinque quotidiani nazionali consente di evidenziare la prevalenza di un frame delle migrazioni come rischio per i paesi di destinazione. L’enfasi su questioni di sicurezza come il terrorismo, la criminalità e l’ordine pubblico, inoltre, contribuiscono a caratterizzare le migrazioni come una vera e propria minaccia, riaffermando la dominanza di un discorso noi-centrico e securitario sul fenomeno migratorio.

Abstract
As crises and conflicts in the Middle East and across Africa reshape migration flows to Europe, looking how migration are represented in the media is of crucial importance to understand how multiple risks to security are understood, evaluated and connected to each other in the public discourse. The author contributes to this effort by analysing the framing of migration risks in the Italian press in a two-year period during and following the international military intervention in Libya in 2011. The examination of frames concerning various security risks through automated content analysis, allows to assess the relative relevance of a migration-as-a-risk frame in the press coverage. Albeit frames dealing with different aspects of the security-migration binomial coexist, the author shows how those concerned with direct threats to destination societies are the most frequent, thus revealing the dominance of a we-centric discourse over migration in the media.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
