Dire le « migrant » dans la ville : une analyse de discours médiatique

Abstract

This paper aims at revealing the processes at work in the formation of the political image of the “migrant” in the media. Analysing a corpus of national, regional and local press articles, the idea is to ask: who are we talking about? How do we talk about this subject? Who is talking? Which representations, categorizations, attitudes… are invoked? The ambition here is to understand the role of the discourse of media and political institutions in the shaping of an interdiscursive memory of the “Other”, and by doing so reminding them of the responsibility that they bear.
