From Fragmentation to Integration: Addressing the Role of Communication in Refugee Crises and (re)settlement Processes

Amanda Alencar, Noemi Mena Montes, Miguel Vicente-Mariño (eds.)

International Communication Gazette, volume 83, issue 1 (2021), pp. 3-101

"Top-down approaches have limited potential to reach long-lasting and innovative solutions for the settlement of refugees. There is a growing consensus among scholars and policy-makers that governments alone cannot solve complex societal problems, and that participation of non-government actors, sta ... keholders, media companies, civil society, and the refugee themselves is crucial to achieving more positive outcomes in the long-run. In this special issue, we seek to contribute to this growing research field by exploring the issue in a variety of contexts, using different methodologies and with a focus on the inherent linkages between media, society and political authorities in the management of migration and integration processes. Communication Research, at its diverse layers and from a wide array of topics and methods, is expected to contribute to the analysis of social, political, demographic and cultural changes, so tackling the ongoing refugee crisis in the Mediterranean area is an opportunity to connect theoretical and methodological advances with a relevant topic which certainly requires practical, technical and applied contributions. In doing so, screening the online activity turns into an additional sphere to be kept under attention, as a new space for social discussion and action. The origin of the special issue entitled ‘From fragmentation to integration: Addressing the role of communication in refugee crises and settlement processes’ is a Pre-Conference organized by the guest editors as part of the 68th Annual International Communication Association Conference held in Prague, in 2018. The main purpose of this pre-conference was to open a space for dialogue regarding the way refugee crises and integration processes are tackled by political, social and media actors, aiming to set some guidelines to avoid those mistakes previously noticed and leading to a more constructive and conscious coverage and social action. This event brought together researchers, policy advisors, NGO representatives and refugee migrants to discuss the intersections between refugee migration and communication processes. A selection of original articles that were presented at this event form the basis of this special issue. The main themes addressed in the articles of the current special issue are: (1) inclusive digital forms of literacy and activism for/with refugees; (2) local responsesto refugee crises, (re)settlement and their communication strategies; and (3) media representation of humanitarian crises and refugees in their receiving countries."

How We Talk about Migration: The Link between Migration Narratives, Policy, and Power

Natalia Banulescu-Bogdan, Haim Malka, Shelly Culbertson

Washington: Migration Policy Institute (2021), 46 pp.

"The scan identified eight core findings: 1. Both positive and negative narratives use a moral framework as a justification and trigger to tap into values. Both welcoming and restrictive narratives can be rooted in a view of what is right—for instance, calling for generosity or compassion toward r ... efugees because of humanitarian values, or arguing for penalties for irregular or unauthorized immigrants because of a commitment to law and order. 2. Many positive migration narratives invoke feelings of national pride rather than attempting to “sell” concrete benefits of migration. In many countries, top-down stories about migration tap into (and affirm) core notions of national identity (such as humanitarianism or diversity) and attempt to invoke pride (such as being a nation of immigrants). Other pro-migration narratives take a more transactional approach by highlighting how immigration reaps benefits for receiving societies, often focusing on migrants’ economic contributions. 3. Elite, top-down messages about migration often clash with views on the ground. Many government leaders spread messages about the benefits of migration, but these do not always align with people’s lived experiences. And in many places, the public has a fundamental mistrust of government or perceives that policymakers have failed to effectively manage migration challenges, which can also spark skepticism. 4. Narratives about migration are not always ideologically driven; they can be motivated by political pragmatism or used to advance other political or policy goals. Political rhetoric on migration is not always connected to ideology or values per se, but may instead be used as a calculated means to advance other policy goals (such as boosting foreign aid, gaining votes, or maintaining political power). The link to political pragmatism may offer an important clue as to why certain messages are amplified in certain settings and with certain audiences but not others. 5. The most dominant threat narratives are driven by insecurity—whether related to economics, culture and identity, personal safety, or national security. The stickiest negative narratives about migration are often interwoven with perceived threats to security (for instance, anxiety about jobs and resources, crime, or about changes to culture or social norms), even if these threats are not well supported by data. Threats to personal safety and security or economic livelihoods can be highly destabilizing, even if they are episodic or only affect a small number of people—and these fears are not easily defused with contrary evidence [...]" (Executive summary, page 3) more

Voces en Movimiento: Semilleros de Comunicación. Manual - Memoria

Bogotá: Grupo Comunicarte; Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) (2021), 134 pp.

"Con profunda alegría y gratitud presentamos este Manual, una Memoria que recopila hechos-actividades de un grupo de personas que se embarcaron en un proceso con la mas alta incertidumbre. Como hurmanidad se estaba vivienda la PANDEMIA denominada COVID19, todo daba entender que el confinamiento, lo ... s distintos momentos de cuarentena (ya fuera total o por localidades) iban para largo, y así fue. Para este año 2021, ademas, se sumaron los paros, las manifestaciones sociales, las agresiones contra los bienes de lo público. Por lo tanto, gracias a la tecnología, la virtualidad había venido para quedarse, sin duda alguna, nada volvería hacer como antes. Ha sido la oportunidad de encontrarnos ante una nueva forma de vivir y de relacionarnos las personas y las organizaciones. [...] Es en medio de este contexto, que el equipo de trabajo de Grupo COMUNICARTE busca todas las formas pata convocar gente; fue una gran preocupación de como encantar y vender la idea a una población pendular, como son los habitantes del centro de la ciudad, barrio Santa Fe en Los Martires, tocar y tocar la puertas a las organizaciones e instituciones presentes en las localidades de Bosa y Los Martires, y gracias a la respuesta positiva de alguna institución como la de la |glesia Luterana de Bosa-Porvenir y grupos pequeños, luego jóvenes que se sumaron al grupo base que iban y devolvían, asi se conformaron los dos grupos Semilleros que hoy coronan y experimentan el reconocimiento de un grupo de amigos. También se cuenta con un espacio donde los venezolanos y venezolanas y algunos de las comunidades de acogida, han sentido como un escenario para hacer “catarsis", un lugar donde todos tienen la libertad de la palabra y la expresión, donde han encontrado y descubierto los medios de comunicación y entre ellos la Radio, como un pretexto para ser tratados como personas, mejorar su calidad de vida, para aceptarse y aceptar a los demas. Para generar contenidos mediaticos, noticias positivas, historias de vida, historias de superación que unen las dos caras de un mismo y único pueblo. Esta es la historia de Migración vista y vivida desde otro enfoque, ésta es y trata de ser la vida y posición de una comunidad que acoge a unos hermanos del otro lado de la frontera. Esta es y trata de ser el recorrido de una experiencia de Comunicación y Migración con rostro humano y solidario." (Presentación, páginas 7-8) more
