“…Despite the heterogeneity of approaches, previous research in the Italian context keeps on detecting Ambrosetti and Miccoli 191 robust stereotyped narratives of immigrants appearing as threats for host society or as victims of exclusion/injustice (Binotto et al, 2016). Such a consistent body of evidence emerges from content and language analysis " (Calvanese, 2011;Cerase, 2013;Stolfi & Brancato, 2019)" discourse analysis (Tudisca et al, 2019;Lucchesi, 2019), and visual sociology (Pogliano, 2011(Pogliano, , 2015.…”

This paper aims to analyse sentiments and emotions about migration in Italy using Twitter, by comparing the period of COVID-19 pandemic with the previous year. We take Italy as a case study because it has been severely affected by the COVID-19, it is one of the largest recipients of immigrants in Europe and, is among the few countries that implemented an amnesty for irregular migrant workers during the pandemic. We apply a text mining and sentiment analysis to the tweets with hashtags and keywords related to the migration and to the COVID-19 pandemic. Results show that tweets related to migration express a sense of emergency and also invasion. No major changes occurred in the period of the pandemic in comparison with the previous period. Indeed, both negative and positive sentiments are present in the tweets in both periods, confirming a certain polarization in the public discourse about migration.

“…We assist here to an explicit de-humanizing narration that aims to exclude the alterity basing the argumentation on the disease, evoking the danger for the public hygiene, and the purity transforming the out-group in microbe, virus, and pestilence. In this case, even if landings-border-related terminology are not present in the text, the visual component of the post depicts the traditional image of immigration in Italian media since the 80s and 90s (Pogliano, 2011): a boat full of indistinct men as 'desperate people' that reinforce the narrative of immigrants and refugees as 'Them'.…”

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.

“…Nella contemporanea ecologia dei media, contraddistinta dalla molteplicità di attori, dall'abbondanza di flussi comunicativi (Van Aelst et al, 2017) e dalla loro ibridazione (Chadwick, 2013), i giornalisti svolgono ancora un importante ruolo di selezionatori delle notizie, delle occorrenze e dei fatti da valorizzare nel racconto delle stesse, permettendo a certi aspetti della realtà di emergere e impedendo la diffusione di altri (Godler e Reich, 2017) 1 . Insomma, nonostante la complessità della ecologia dei media contemporanea, il giornalismo rimane un discorso performativo finalizzato a imporre e legittimare una valida rappresentazione del mondo e a creare distinzioni (Pogliano, 2011), ma quel potere e quell'autorevolezza eventualmente accordati per raccontare accadimenti, storie rilevanti «sono negoziati, contingenti, mutevoli e prendono sembianze diverse nel tempo» (Splendore, 2017: 12-13). Proprio per questo motivo, nella crescente importanza che riveste il tema dell'immigrazione nel contemporaneo sistema dei media e nella produzione giornalistica (si veda fra gli altri Bruno, 2014;Binotto et al, 2016;Pogliano e Ponzo, 2019), ci appare opportuno proporre come chiave di lettura di questa copertura il peace journalism, che sta incontrando un rinnovato interesse nel più ampio contesto dei journalism studies (cfr.…”
