Brazilian journalistic narratives about migrants: identity construction in the gaps of refuge
Abstract
We turn specifically to narratives about migrants (refugees or immigrants/ emigrants), published after May 24, 2017 in Brazil under the impact of the new migration law (Law 13445). Our goal is to recover indexes associated with migrants in the journalistic narratives related to the Brazilian case, collected via NewsMonitor platform. We only selected articles in Portuguese between the period from May 1, 2017 to February 28, 2019, based on the filter words “migrants” and “refugees”. From this corpus, questions about which objects belong to these individuals are visible and how they are shown, seeking to organize with them a symbolic, topographic and quantifiable map.
