| Sumario: | This text presents a study on the representation of immigration in the Spanish press from March 2020 to March 2022, the peak period of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. Based on the critical analysis of the discourse of a sample of 347 news items published in the five written press media with the largest audience in Spain, different discursive frameworks - emerging and recurrent - around immigration and migrants are identified and analyzed. The results of the study point to a worsening of the stigmatization of migration as an essentially problematic phenomenon and explicitly associated with the spread of the virus on a global scale. The identified discourses reinforce, in a new way, old rhetoric that speaks of migrants as potentially dangerous, under imaginaries of a certain primitivism: they are vulnerable, violent, uncivil, incomprehensible, in contrast to the positive self-representation of a native, white and civilized Europe. |
