La narrativa de los flujos migratorios entre el “humanismo”y la “exclusión”

The article explores media narratives on migratory flows in Europe, emphasizing the tension between humanistic and inclusive perspectives versus discourses of exclusion and stigmatization. Migration emerges as both a social and humanitarian issue shaped by cultural, political, and media dynamics. Key events—such as the photo of Aylan Kurdi, Islamist attacks, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the war in Ukraine—illustrate how framing processes influence public perception and political agendas. Media representations foster empathy but also hostility, reinforcing stereotypes and moral panics. In the digital era, social networks amplify polarized discourses, often linked to hate speech and conspiracy theories. Thus, migration is not framed by a single narrative but by competing interpretations oscillating between solidarity and exclusion. These narratives shape collective attitudes toward migrants and their recognition as subjects of rights.
