A useful methodological synergy? : Combining critical discourse analysis and corpus linguistics to examine discourses of refugees and asylum seekers in the UK press
- 2008
-
In: Discourse & Society. - : Sage Publications. - 0957-9265 .- 1460-3624. ; 19:3, s. 273-306
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article discusses the extent to which methods normally associated with corpus linguistics can be effectively used by critical discourse analysts. Our research is based on the analysis of a 140-million-word corpus of British news articles about refugees, asylum seekers, immigrants and migrants (collectively RASIM). We discuss how processes such as collocation and concordance analysis were able to identify common categories of representation of RASIM as well as directing analysts to representative texts in order to carry out qualitative analysis. The article suggests a framework for adopting corpus approaches in critical discourse analysis.

The representation of third country nationals in european news discourse : journalistic perceptions and practices
- 2013
-
In: Journalism Practice. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1751-2786 .- 1751-2794. ; 7:3, s. 248-265
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Based on semi-structured interviews with journalists in six European countries, this article examines the extent to which the findings of recent literature about the representation of migrants in European media content are reflected in the perceptions of journalists themselves about the way in which migrants are represented in the media discourses produced by their outlets. It finds that the four key findings of the literature were by and large confirmed, namely inaccurate group labelling and designation, negative or victimised representation, underrepresentation of migrants in quotations, and the scarce reference to a wider European context. Finally, the article discusses media professionals’ self-reported awareness about general professional ethics versus diversity-specific ethics, and about the way in which their outlets cover news involving ‘‘new’’ immigrants, i.e. nationals of non-European Union countries residing in the European Union, and examines the differences between media practices and perceptions in ‘‘old’’ and ‘‘new’’ immigration countries.For a full explanation of the methodology of the research project, please see the introduction in this themed section: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17512786.2012.740213.

Media and migration : exploring the field
- 2012
-
In: Migrations. - Vienna : Springer-Verlag Wien. - 9783709109502 - 3709109493 ; , s. 277-282
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The contributions gathered in the following part present a combination of theoretical and empirical approaches to representations of migrants (as individuals or groups) and migration (as a wider social phenomenon) in the media and in text types related to the media. As such, the following contributions explore similarities and differences between the nationally specific and transnational representations at the times of accelerated sociopolitical change. The latter, as we have seen, has very often resulted with ardent anti-immigration debates which have become prevalent across the public spheres in most of the European countries. Fuelled by the public fears of globalization and insecurity, those debates cut across the traditional political divisions (left and right), both mainstream (national and regional) and minority media as well as both classic media (press, broadcast media) and new media genres.

The Mediated Representation of Working Conditions in the Global South : Discourse, Ideology and Responsibility
- 2019
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis examines the mediated representation of workers’ working conditions in the Global South. Using a qualitative approach inspired by Critical Discourse Studies, it focuses on ideological representation in newspapers from Sweden, the USA, Chile and China/Hong Kong. The aims are to understand how working conditions are represented; identify key themes of news reporting; understand how newspapers convey ideological discourses about ‘foreign’ and ‘distant’ working conditions; and provide critical insights into how the topic is represented in newspapers in terms of its relevance (to a national readership) as well as agency and responsibility (i.e. who is responsible for working conditions?) and the possible ideological impact thereof on the reader and their knowledge/interpretation of this issue. The results suggest that the general structuring of Swedish media discourse on workers’ conditions runs thematically across various parts/sections of the production industry: garments, electronics, food, furniture and toys. In addition, further themes/frames are used in the coverage (working conditions in the workplace, salary, conditions of employment, housing, workforce composition and workers’ organizations), further particularising the explored focus of media representation. The study also suggests that mainstream news media represent working conditions in ways that exclude a range of key issues, actors and causalities. Constructed at the level of media discourse, such problematic representations largely conceal the structural, institutional and corporatist responsibility behind the global exploitation of workers and their largely unfavourable working conditions. Instead, responsibility for those working conditions is effectively and strategically shifted away from the wider global system of capitalist-driven exploitation into individual social actors, in both the Western world (in the form of particular transnational corporations and in the form of readers/ users as consumers) and the Global South (in the form of local factory owners, governments, officials etc.). Speaking from a critical perspective and offering a number of empirically-funded insights, the study suggests that newspapers construct the key topic as relevant through a number of thematic and argumentative frames. Of these, the ‘consumer framework’ – which effectively serves to shift responsibility away from wider structural socioeconomic causes to an individual level – remains central. The thesis also shows that the representation of working conditions in the Global South is strongly embedded within a highly problematic colonial (or post-colonial) imagery. Therein, the exploitation in the Global South is seen as a localised ‘cultural problem’ of ‘them’ rather than a systematic problem related to global capitalism and its transnational system of social and economic inequality.

A populist turn? News editorials and the recent discursive shift on immigration in Sweden
- 2021
-
In: Nordicom Review. - : Walter de Gruyter GmbH. - 1403-1108 .- 2001-5119. ; 42:1, s. 67-87
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article undertakes a critical discourse analysis of Swedish quality newspaper editorials and their evolving framing of immigration since the 2015 peak of the recent European “refugee crisis”. Positioned within the ongoing discursive shifts in the Swedish public sphere and the growth of discursive uncivility in its mainstream areas, the analysis highlights how xenophobic and racist discourses once propagated by the far and radical right gradually penetrate into the studied broadsheet newspapers. We argue that the examined editorials carry the tendency to normalise once radical perceptions of immigration. This takes place by incorporating various discursive strategies embedded in wider argumentative frames – or topoi – of demographic consequences, Islam and Islamisation, threat, and integration. All of these enable constructing claims against immigration now apparently prevalent in the examined strands of the Swedish “quality” press.

Saying `Criminality’, meaning ‘immigration’? : Proxy discourses and public implicatures in the normalisation of the politics of exclusion
- 2023
-
In: Critical Discourse Studies. - London : Taylor & Francis Group. - 1740-5904 .- 1740-5912.
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article explores political discourse in the context of an online-mediated 2021 rapprochement between Swedish ‘mainstream’ and far-right parties paving the way for their eventual 2022 electoral success and later joint government coalition. The article analyses specifically how the above political accord on the Swedish right – often seen as breaking the long-term cordon sanitaire around Sweden’s far right – would be legitimised via discourses that carried significant elaboration and deepening of the ‘criminality’ and ‘immigration’ connection later recontextualised into the broader Swedish public discourse and public imagination. Using social media analytics and qualitative, critical discourse analysis, we explore in depth a ‘discursive shift’ wherein the focus on criminality would become a key ‘proxy discourse’, i.e., a public-wide implicature, which, while referring to and debating a potentially genuine social issue would be strategically instrumentalised to effectively pre-legitimise ‘moral panics’ around immigration and cultural diversity. The analysis highlights that the emergence as well as the later recontextualisation of the ‘proxy discourse’ in question – implicitly suggesting that criminality, immigration, and cultural diversity are ‘somehow’ inherently connected – not only supported the political mainstreaming of the Swedish far-right’s anti-immigration stance but also normalised the wider tenets of illiberal, nativist ‘politics of exclusion’.

On Linguistic and Discursive Constructions of Concession and Adversativity : Towards a Multilevel Analysis of English in the UK Parliament
- 2016
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This study analyses concessive and adversarial language in UK parliamentary debates and thereby enriches the theoretical and analytical body of knowledge on the language of concession and adversativity in contemporary English. It contributes to existent scholarship on both grammatical constructions of concession/adversativity and on the dynamics of contemporary British parliamentary and political discourse. The study proposes an integrated, multilevel theoretical and analytical model that covers both the micro- and macro-linguistic analysis of concession and adversativity. It fills a significant gap in the existent body of scholarship by arguing that concession and adversativity need to be considered as multilevel phenomena that are linguistic (esp. grammatical) as well as discursive (incl. argumentative/rhetorical) in nature. In its multilevel approach, the study deploys corpus-linguistic methods and utilises tools specially created for the purpose of analysis as well as established instruments and techniques of corpus analysis. All of these are applied to a custom-made corpus of selected UK parliamentary debates covering a variety of debate genres that nest various constructions and dynamics of concession and adversativity. The study concludes that concession is essentially a ‘weak’ yet an indispensable form of adversativity that allows the studied parliamentary language to escape rigidity of expressing either total ‘yes’ or total ‘no’. The often interrelated use of concession and adversativity hence allows political speakers to draw on a continuum of linguistic and discursive resources available in English and indispensable to navigate through complex genre of parliamentary debates. It also enables the specific themes and arguments deployed by speakers in their discourse to be expressed and constructed while relying on linguistic constructions of concession and adversativity that help avoiding the use of language of total opposition or open disagreement.

"Crisis' and Migration in Poland : Discursive Shifts, Anti-Pluralism and the Politicisation of Exclusion
- 2018
-
In: Sociology. - : Sage Publications. - 0038-0385 .- 1469-8684. ; 52:3, s. 612-618
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This essay illustrates the extent to which crisis has had an impact on public perceptions and discourses of contemporary migration in Poland. We focus on the actual moment of the coming together' between crisis- and immigration-related discourses and argue that this connection has arisen as part of the recent political strategies of Poland's right-wing populist government Law and Justice' (PiS) party. The strong anti-immigration and anti-refugee rhetoric orchestrated by PiS across the Polish public sphere has also played a pivotal role in countenancing xenophobic as well as outright racist sentiments in wider Polish public discourse and society.

Brexit and the imaginary of ‘crisis’ : a discourse-conceptual analysis of European news media
- 2019
-
In: Critical Discourse Studies. - : Routledge. - 1740-5904 .- 1740-5912. ; 16:4, s. 465-490
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article explores the discourse-conceptual linkages between ‘Brexit’ and ‘crisis’ in European news media reporting about the UK referendum on leaving the European Union of 23 June 2016. The study examines media discourse about the Brexit vote in Austria, Germany, Poland and Sweden at the transformative moment in between the pre/after vote period. The conceptuallyoriented critical discourse analysis shows how Brexit was not only constructed as an imaginary or a future crisis but also how its mediated visions were made real by recontextualising elements of various past social/political/economic crises. As is shown, such a strategy of discursively amalgamating the real and the imaginary, as well as the experienced/past and the expected/future, often allowed constructing Brexit as one of the most significant, critical occurrences of post-War Europe. Through the analysis, the article aims to show how wide and diverse the importance of ‘Brexit as crisis’ has been for European news media discourse. It also emphasises that while in the UK itself – including huge part of the UK traditional media – the critical nature of Brexit was often strategically downplayed, the wider European discourse would see it as a multifaceted ‘crisis’ of huge significance to both the present and the future of the EU, wider Europe and the world.

Discourses and practices of the ‘New Normal’ Towards an interdisciplinary research agenda on crisis and the normalization of anti- and post‑democratic action
- 2023
-
In: Journal of Language and Politics. - Amsterdam : John Benjamins Publishing Company. - 1569-2159 .- 1569-9862. ; 22:4, s. 415-437
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This position paper argues for an interdisciplinary agenda relating crises to on-going processes of normalization of anti- and post-democratic action. We call for exploring theoretically and empirically the ‘new normal’ logic introduced into public imagination on the back of various crises, including the recent ‘Refugee Crisis’ in Europe, COVID-19 pandemic, or the still ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. Gathering researchers of populism, extremism, discrimination, and other formats of anti- and post-democratic action, we propose investigating how, why, and under which conditions, discourses and practices underlying normalization processes re-emerge to challenge the liberal democratic order. We argue exploring the multiple variants of ‘the new normal’ related to crises, historically and more recently. We are interested in how and why these open pathways for politics of exclusion, inequality, xenophobia and other patterns of anti- and post-democratic action while deepening polarization and radicalization of society as well as propelling far-right politics and ideologies.

Discursive shifts and the normalisation of racism : imaginaries of immigration, moral panics and the discourse of contemporary right-wing populism
- 2020
-
In: Social Semiotics. - : Routledge. - 1035-0330 .- 1470-1219. ; 30:4, s. 503-527
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Looking at mediated, political and wider public discourses on immigration in Poland since 2015 and exploring these in the context of the country's right-wing populist politics, the paper develops a multi-step normalisation model which allows analysing how radical or often blatantly racist discourse can not only be strategically introduced into the public domain but also evolve into an acceptable and legitimate perspective inperceptions of immigrants and refugees. The paper highlights the strategic as well as opportunistic introduction of anti-immigration rhetoric in/by the political mainstream in Poland in recent years, often on the back of the so-called post-2014 European "Refugee Crisis". It explores normalisation as part and parcel of a wider multistep process of strategically orchestrated discursive shifts wherein discourses characterised by extreme positions have been enacted, gradated/perpetuated and eventually normalisedas an integral part of pronounced right-wing populist agenda. The paperfurthers a view that normalisation entails the creation and sustainment of a peculiar borderline discourse wherein unmitigated radical statements are often married with seemingly civil and apparently politically correct language and argumentation. The latter are used to pre-/legitimise uncivil or even outright radical positions and ideologies by rationalising them and making them into acceptable elements of public discourse.

Discursive Shifts in Ethno-Nationalist Politics : On Politicization and Mediatization of the “Refugee Crisis” in Poland
- 2018
-
In: Journal of Immigrant & Refugee Studies. - : Routledge. - 1556-2948 .- 1556-2956. ; 16:1-2, s. 76-96
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper analyzes politicization and mediatization of immigration in Poland in the context of the recent European "refugee crisis." Although largely absent from Polish political discourse after 1989, anti-refugee and anti-immigration rhetoric has recently become extremely politically potent in Poland. The analysis shows that, soon taken over by other political groups, the new anti-immigration discourses have been enacted in Poland's public sphere by the right-wing populist party PiS (Law and Justice). Its discourse in offline and online media has drawn on discursive patterns including Islamophobia, Euro-scepticism, anti-internationalism, and historical patterns and templates of discrimination such as anti-Semitism.

Europe in Crisis : Discourses on Crisis-Events in the European Press 1956-2006
- 2009
-
In: Journalism Studies. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1461-670X .- 1469-9699. ; 10:1, s. 18-35
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article proposes a diachronic, empirically founded and qualitative approach to the examination of constructions of a European Public Sphere in Europe's national news media. By focusing on transnational press-reporting of a set of selected Crisis Events in post-war European history (in the period 1956-2006), different discursive representations of "Europe" (and Europe-related normative notions such as, e. g., "European values") are studied to show the diversity and heterogeneity of their nationally specific perceptions. Similar discursive patterns and commonalities in discourses across Europe are highlighted, as are the evolving ways of (re-)constructing the tension between the transnational and the national, in the specifically European context. Within the latter, Europe changes its role in news-media discourse over time-from being an adversary or source of problems for the nation, to becoming the "bearer" of common values for all (or at least several) European nation-states.

International leadership re-/constructed? : Ambivalence and heterogeneity of identity discourses in European Union’s policy on climate change
- 2015
-
In: Journal of Language and Politics. - : John Benjamins Publishing Company. - 1569-2159 .- 1569-9862. ; 14:1, s. 110-133
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article analyses European Union policy discourses on climate change from the point of view of constructions of identity. Articulated in a variety of policy-related genres, the EU rhetoric on climate change is approached as example of the Union’s international discourse, which, contrary to other areas of EU policy-making, relies strongly on discursive frameworks of international and global politics of climate change. As the article shows, the EU’s peculiar international – or even global – leadership in tackling the climate change is constructed in an ambivalent and highly heterogeneous discourse that runs along several vectors. While it on the one hand follows the more recent, inward-looking constructions of Europe known from the EU policy and political discourses of the 1990s and 2000s, it also revives some of the older discursive logics of international competition known from the earlier stages of the European integration. In the analysis, the article draws on the methodological apparatus of the Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA) in Critical Discourse Studies. Furthering the DHA studies of EU policy and political discourses, the article emphasises the viability of the discourse-historical methodology applied in the combined analysis of EU identity and policy discourses.
