SUBJECT MOBILE - MARIA ROSA JIJONA
The construction of the concepts of Nation State, Country, Frontier, Public Safety, etc ... totally dependent and relies on the ability of the institution to generate an image easily digestible by society, to justify the actions and policies implemented to safeguard these nationalist discourses and federalists.
In Fortress Europe, immigrants have become the custodians of the responsibility of all social conflicts, insecurity, unemployment and loss of identity that affect these and prosperous societies in crisis. This production of information campaigns that portray the other outsider with negative characteristics that can generate rejection, fear, or at least perplexed citizenship, is an effective way to capture the uncritical support of a population that consumes messages without discriminating its content and purpose.
Racism and xenophobia are entitled to this kind of symbolic production and there are few examples of possible media resistance, compared to mastery of the official message.
these assumptions is seen as an opportune moment to use the anthropological portrait as a tool to reinforce the ironic mode of representation of the Other to call attention to racism and discrimination against immigrants and test a possible use, cultural and political of establishing the subject threatening.
