Representing Migration: Discursive and Methodological Perspectives from Triangulated Fields

Bol

The book explores multilingual migration discourses, blending linguistics and critical discourse analysis. Migration is seen as an ideological process, rooted in language, through political and grassroots narratives. This includes mobility versus restrictions, climate migration and the power of translation in shaping global perception and policies. This book delves into how migration is depicted through multilingual discourses, blending corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis. Emerging from a colloquium at Jaume I University in Castellón (Spain), it links translation studies, migration, and discourse analysis, revealing migration as more than physical movement. It is a cultural, ideological process rooted in language. Through four sections, it examines migration's complexities: theoretical frameworks, multilingual political discourse, grassroots narratives, and methodological advances like MD-CADS. Key themes include ideological framing of concepts like "diversity" and "security," the clash between global mobility and restrictive policies, and challenges such as climate-induced migration and digital misinformation. This work challenges dominant narratives, urging nuanced understanding of migration's global impact.
