Migration Speeches and Hate Speeches. The Sociological View on Migrants’ Representations between News and Ugcs in Europe

Every day migrations are represented by the language of politics, journalism, other media which significantly contribute to their collective perception and to the public opinion building processes. The pervasive presence of new media enlarges the complexity of the topic, as those allows an increasingly wide and diversified audience to access information and react with comments that enrich, transform and redefine journalistic contents. Exploring and identifying which frames on migrations are arising in the contemporary society, sociology could contribute to understand better how social problems are collective built, opening new perspectives on them.
