Has 'migrant' become an unshakeable identity for some people? How does this happen and what role does the media play in classifying individuals as 'migrants' rather than people? This volume denaturalises the idea of the 'migrant', pointing instead to the array of systems and processes that force this identity on individuals, shaping their interactions with the state and with others. Drawing on a range of empirical fieldwork carried out in the United Kingdom and Italy, the authors examine how media representations construct global conflicts in a climate of changing media habits, widespread mistrust, and fake news. How media and conflicts make migrants argues that listening to those on the sharpest end of the immigration system can provide much-needed perspective on global conflicts and inequalities. In challenging the conventional expectation for immigrants to tell sad stories about their migration journey, the book explores experiences of discrimination as well as acts of resistance. Interludes, interspersed between chapters, explore these issues through songs, jokes and images. Offering an essential account of the interplay between a climate of diversifying but distrustful media use and uncertainty about the shape of global politics, this volume argues that not only is the world itself changing rapidly, but also how people learn about the world. Understanding attitudes to migrants and other apparently 'local' political concerns demands a step back to consider this unstable global context of (mis)understanding. The book explores how we understand global conflicts as they relate to the "European refugee crisis", and draws on a range of empirical fieldwork carried out in the UK and Italy. It examines how global conflict has been constructed in both countries through media representations - in a climate of changing media habits, widespread mistrust, and fake news. In so doing, it examines the role played by historical amnesia about legacies of imperialism - and how this leads to a disavowal of responsibility for the causes why people flee their countries. The book explores how this understanding in turn shapes institutional and popular responses in receiving countries, ranging from hostility-such as the framing of refugees by politicians, as 'economic migrants' who are abusing the asylum system; to solidarity initiatives. Based on interviews and workshops with refugees in both countries, the book develops the concept of "migrantification" - in which people are made into migrants by the state, the media and members of society. In challenging the conventional expectation for immigrants to tell stories about their migration journey, the book explores experiences of discrimination as well as acts of resistance. It argues that listening to those on the sharpest end of the immigration system can provide much-needed perspective on global conflicts and inequalities which challenges common Eurocentric misconceptions. Interludes, interspersed between chapters, explore these issues in another way through songs, jokes and images.--

"Este libro busca articular un conjunto coherente de saberes, análisis de casos concretos de representación y autorepresentación mediática de la movilidad humana. Se indaga en materiales audiovisuales que reflejan las desigualdades geopolíticas, al tiempo que las particularidades de países emisores, de tránsito y receptores de personas migrantes y refugiadas. Se pone especial atención al eje hispánico-Atlántico y a las fronteras existentes en Europa y América. Además, a lo largo del libro, se atiende particularmente a representaciones alternativas o autorepresentaciones mediáticas que construyen imágenes sobre la migración, el desplazamiento y el refugio que interseccionan con elementos de desigualdad como son el género o la raza entre otros. Representaciones que desafían las narrativas con las que se les miserabiliza o criminaliza, cobrando sentidos distintos a los que ofrecen las representaciones hegemónicas y agenciándose de formas diversas y disruptivas"--

In the 1980s, amid increasing immigration from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia, the circle of who was considered American seemed to broaden, reflecting the democratic gains made by racial minorities and women. Although this expanded circle was increasingly visible in the daily lives of Americans through TV shows, films, and popular news media, these gains were circumscribed by the discourse that certain immigrants, for instance single and working mothers, were feared, censured, or welcomed exclusively as laborers. Leah Perry argues that 1980s immigration discourse in law and popular media was a crucial ingredient in the cohesion of the neoliberal idea of democracy.

Migrant Labor and Border Securities in Pop Culture explores the conditions for migrant domestic, agricultural, and factory workers as that of continual crisis and examines how the borderlands are a workshop of neoliberalism. These borderland stories present a future of integrated networks in which the border is not just physical but temporal, separating the present time of crisis and migrant phobia, and a future of transborder interaction and settlement based on bridges and networks rather than walls and the proliferation of security technologies. Written in accessible prose for undergraduate and graduate students across American studies, immigration studies, media and cultural studies and more, this book examines the collective action seen in Latina/o cultural productions after the economic crisis and how they reach across racial and geographic lines to imagine new entities.

Une analyse de la manière dont les médias (télévision, Internet, etc.) nourrissent les rêves des migrants à destination des pays européens, et, à l'inverse, la façon dont ils alimentent l'hostilité des Européens à l'égard des immigrés en provenance des pays du Maghreb. ©Electre 2015 Mois après mois, les télévisions d'Europe braquent leurs projecteurs sur les migrants en provenance des pays du sud de la Méditerranée qui tentent d'accéder à sa rive nord, à la poursuite d'une vie meilleure. Aux rêves de ces migrants répondent souvent l'hostilité et la méfiance dans les pays européens. Et tant ces rêves que cette hostilité sont nourris par les moyens de communication. Analyser les enjeux dont sont porteurs les flux combinés de médias et de migrations dans l'espace euro-méditerranéen est l'objectif de ce livre collectif. Si de nombreux travaux cherchent à comprendre les relations existant entre médias et immigration, rares sont ceux qui cernent les liens qu'entretiennent ces derniers avec l'émigration. La spécificité du présent ouvrage est d'articuler, à partir de l'espace euro-méditerranéen, une interrogation sur le rôle que jouent les médias en amont de la dynamique migratoire, dans les pays de départ ceux du Maghreb, avec l'examen de leur rôle en aval de cette dynamique, dans les pays d'arrivée en Europe. Il s'agit d'abord d'explorer les rapports entre moyens de communication et émigration au sud de la Méditerranée. Dans quelle mesure les médias et les nouveaux médias contribuent-ils aux rêves de partir ? Quels modes de connexion les Etats maghrébins s'efforcent-ils d'établir, au travers de leurs télévisions par satellite ou d'internet, avec leurs émigrés ? Quelles représentations de l'émigration et des émigrés les chaînes panarabes offrent-elles ? Le but est également d'appréhender les rapports entre moyens de communication et immigration au nord de la Méditerranée, en privilégiant les cas de la France, de l'Espagne et de l'Italie. Quelles politiques d'insertion médiatique des populations issues de l'immigration maghrébine ont été mises en place dans ces pays ? Quel rôle y jouent les médias ou les nouveaux médias qui ont été créés à destination des publics issus de l'immigration maghrébine ? Comment ces publics négocient-ils, dans leur réception des médias ou dans leurs usages des technologies de communication, entre l'ici et le là-bas ? Au travers de cette étude centrée sur l'espace euro-méditerranéen, c'est à une réflexion plus large sur les défis que posent les croissants flux médiatiques et migratoires transnationaux dans le monde contemporain que nous convient les auteurs de ce volume.
