“…As recalled by Maneri (2001), the moral panic about immigration in Italy is constructed in terms of discourse and practices on urban 'security' and 'insecurity'. Indeed in the above cases, we are dealing with a case of moral panic built around local events and protests (Maneri, 2001(Maneri, , 2018Pogliano, 2016) and specifically, placed in proximity to the elections when politicians and media, form a circuit of reciprocal pressures that identified immigration as the principal threat to security (Maneri, 2018). Attacking old enemies.…”

By drawing on a Critical Discourse Studies perspective, we analyze language and discursive strategies used by 36 Italian populist right-wing politicians in constructing the narration of immigration during the covid-19 period on their Facebook pages, combining Corpus Linguistics and the analysis of the discursive argumentation. The main aim is to verify a potential discursive construction between immigration and the spread of the virus also considering the change of the government and the role assumed by different parties. Results suggest that the connection between migration and pandemic has not been traduced in a discourse able to systematically blame migrants as vehicles for the virus, rather politicians operated a re-contextualization of past discursive strategies based on the ‘us’ versus ‘them’ dichotomy. Moreover, lexicon and argumentative analysis identified interesting differences between parties especially with the change of government and the new conformation of the alliance. The article shows elements of continuity concerning the political discourse on immigration, but it also stressed important outputs concerning the politicization process showing that pandemic constitutes a critical ‘politicizing moment’ that operated as a mechanism of further normalization of anti-immigration discourse.

“…polaryzującej 21 , a ta zakłada co prawda istnienie tych samych folk devils, ale posiadających uprawomocniony w przestrzeni publicznej głos i odrębny obóz własnych sojuszników. Problem nieudanych (failed) panik moralnych nie jest w literaturze szerzej podnoszony 22 . W niniejszym artykule nieudaną paniką moralną nazywam ogół działań dostrzeżonych przez główny nurt dyskursu publicznego, ale dziejących się zasadniczo poza nim, które dążą do wywołania takich reakcji społeczeństwa i klasy politycznej, które post factum zwykło się uznawać za przejawy paniki moralnej oraz da się w nich zidentyfikować głównych aktorów paniki moralnej: wrogów społecznych i ekspertów moralnych.…”

The article investigates framing of the presence of Ukrainian war refugees and Ukrainian immigrants in Poland in Polish public debate on the empirical basis of selected leading opinion forming weeklies. The action “Stop of Ukrainisation of Poland” launched by far right Konfederacja Korony Polskiej party is considered as an attempt to launch moral panic. The author examines the mainstream media reactions on this activity and concludes (also using results of public opinion surveys), that, so far, neither classic, nor polarizing moral panic has begun. The important part of the analysis is an overview of the visons of further co-existence of Poles and Ukrainians in Poland, as the competing postulates regarding to areas of social inclusion and exclusion are present in the analyzed material.

“…Our previous investigations (Pastore and Ponzo 2016;Pogliano 2016) have suggested that the "narrative autonomy" of local policy networks is greater where they are more cohesive, i.e. when their representations of the issues at stake are consistent and when their actions are coordinated.…”
