“…This section highlights several factors influencing perceptions of migration and foreigners in Japan to better understand the context in which student-support CSOs are operating. According to Beciu et al (2017), state institutions and policies adapt to migration by modifying their discourse and creating a sense of solidarity with migrants in order to retain their power status (Beciu et al, 2017, p. 231). This tendency may be true for some migrant support organizations in Japan focusing on political advocacy; however, most organizations from the present sample view themselves mainly as service providers to foreigners who are generally perceived as guests or temporary visitors.…”

This study is applying critical discourse analysis (CDA) to mission statements of civil society organizations (CSOs) in the Kansai area of Japan to examine how those texts may be reflecting their views on migration and impacting their practices related to international students. The analysis shows similarities across CSO types in choosing organizational names, using vague and bureaucratic vocabulary for formulating their mission statements, as well as confusing and contradictory style of some statements and event announcements that may be misleading or discouraging for potential members. At the same time, diversity of vocabulary referring to their target audience demonstrates shifting perspectives of CSOs on international students and more generally, on foreigners living in Japan.

The article analyzes how the leaders and the candidates of the main parties in Romania built a European field of power and subject positions in the context of the 2019 European elections. We adopt the premise that the (re) positioning of these politicians towards the EU is part of their ongoing strategies of (de) legitimization. In this respect, the study focuses on how they assign themselves a “European authority” in relation to audiences through their positioning as actors in the field. On the basis of a mainly critically discursive methodological framework, we analyze a corpus consisting of electoral messages on Facebook. The research reveals the ways in which the political actors build claims, representations and positionings about the EU through naturalizing (a) symmetric relations, statuses, and symbolic power hierarchies.
