Descrizione

The essay focuses on the media image of the stranger which, despite his omnipresence, has become progressively composite and even enigmatic, although it is possible to recognize some recurring themes that strengthen collective representations deeply ambivalent on the relationship between cultures. At the collective level, media content is directly reflected in the formation of anxieties, insecurities and fears that settle in civil society and then are reworked and/or exploited by political society. They acquire the consistency of social representations with a strong capability to produce social aggregation and collective action, at the same time constituting a symbolic universe of massive consumption. It is therefore plausible to reconstruct at least three narrative frames relating to the stranger/migrant, noting how the migratory phenomenon from an exceptionality feature has acquired a normality one in the media flow, while confirming its centrality with original nuances.
