REGIONAL MEDIA AND SOCIAL REPRESENTATION OF VIOLENCE

THE CASE OF VENEZUELAN REFUGEES IN NORTH OF BRAZIL

Authors

Abstract

In recent years, the international migrations have gained a great deal of attention in political debates and in the media. In the migration context, refugees are considered a particular group. They are often shown as invaders and targets of physical and symbolic violence. The media has the power of producing narratives and events, what makes it be able to influence, create or give a new meaning to these representations. Faced to this context, in this study, we aim to investigate how the television media has represented the violence experienced by Venezuelan refugees in north of Brazil. For this, 129 articles, published by Bom dia Amazônia, Jornal de Roraima and Jornal do Amazonas, were analyzed. The results indicate a discursive ambiguity between the humanitarian crisis and the xenophobia.
